Web App Development Derby — When Off-the-Shelf Falls Short
Custom web applications, SaaS platforms, internal tools and customer portals — hand-built in Laravel, React and Node. MVPs from £6,500. Discovery sprints from £500.
Production-Grade Web Apps Shipped from Derby
Unlike most Derby web design agencies, we are not WordPress-only — our developers ship production-grade software in Laravel, React, Node and Vue every week. We also take on development projects for Nottingham and Leicester businesses.
If you are reading this you probably already know an off-the-shelf platform will not deliver what your business needs. Maybe you have outgrown spreadsheets. Maybe you need a booking system Calendly cannot handle. Maybe you are launching a SaaS product. Recent work includes Hirepay payroll management, Hirezy Online recruitment platform and Global Tourism chauffeur dispatch — all bespoke platforms with real users, real revenue and real complexity.

- 2-week sprints with weekly demos — no black-box builds

Web Application Services for Derby Businesses
Bespoke software for problems no off-the-shelf platform can solve.
Custom SaaS Platforms
Multi-tenant SaaS products with Stripe or Paddle billing, user authentication, role-based access, admin dashboards and customer-facing apps. Built for Derby founders launching new products.
Booking & Reservation Systems
Custom booking platforms for tutors, driving schools, clinics, chauffeurs and rental businesses across Derby. When Calendly or Acuity are not flexible enough.
Customer Portals & Member Areas
Login-gated portals where customers manage subscriptions, view documents, raise tickets, track jobs or access training. Common Derby use cases: B2B order status, training delivery, professional services file sharing.
Internal Tools & Dashboards
Replace ageing spreadsheets and Access databases with proper web apps — operations dashboards, inventory trackers, dispatch tools, internal CRMs. Fast wins, big productivity gains.
Marketplaces & Platforms
Buyer/seller marketplaces with profiles, listings, search, messaging, Stripe Connect payments, reviews and dispute resolution. Higher complexity, higher reward.
API Development & Integrations
REST and GraphQL APIs for connecting your Derby business systems — Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, ShipStation, custom ERP.
