Web Application Development in Beeston

It sits on managed UK infrastructure that we look after, with encrypted backups. Access is set by role, so a member of staff only sees what their job needs, and every login and change is recorded. We write down exactly where the data lives and who holds the keys, which is usually what a Beeston firm's own customers want to see when they audit you.

We do not sell a fixed package, because a two-screen booking tool and a full client portal are not the same job. We scope the work first, break it into stages and quote each stage, so you can start with the part that pays for itself and decide about the rest later. You will have the figure in writing before anything is built.

We can usually get out to your Beeston office within a few days for a first conversation, and urgent issues on something we already run get a same-day response. Build work starts once we have agreed the scope, and the first stage is normally usable in weeks rather than months, so you are not waiting a year to see anything.

No. The build is quoted as a piece of work, not a tie-in. Hosting and support are monthly and you can stop them with a month's notice. If you ever leave, the code and the data are yours and we will hand them over properly rather than holding them hostage. Most projects start small for exactly that reason.

Both, and we pick whichever suits the stage. The first scoping session is usually best face to face at your Beeston premises, because watching the job get done tells us more than any questionnaire. After that most of the build, the demos and the support happen remotely, and we come back out for training, go-live or anything that needs us stood next to your team.

A conversation, not a sales pitch. You tell us where the friction is and we ask a lot of questions about how the work flows today. Then we write up what we heard, sketch what a tool could do and give you a staged quote. If we think an off-the-shelf product would do the job cheaper, we will say so.

Usually, yes. If your CRM, accounts package or supplier system has an API, which most modern ones do, we can make them talk to each other so a job entered once appears everywhere it needs to. Where there is no API we can often work with scheduled file exports instead. We check what is possible before quoting, so there are no nasty surprises halfway through.

Often not, and we will tell you when a spreadsheet or a cheap off-the-shelf tool is fine. It is worth building when the manual work is costing real hours every week, when mistakes are reaching customers, or when one person is the only one who knows how it works. If none of that is true for your Beeston team, save your money.

Often, yes. We start with an honest review of the code, the hosting and the backups, then tell you what it would take to keep it going and what it would take to replace it. Sometimes it is a tidy-up and a move onto our UK hosting, sometimes the honest answer is that a rebuild costs less than the patching. Either way you get the facts first.

It is a common one in Beeston, especially in the converted offices along the High Road and Station Road. Sharing a landlord connection puts your traffic on the same network as everyone else in the building. We put your kit behind its own firewall with its own wireless, so client files, card machines and printers are not sitting alongside whoever moves in upstairs next.

Yes, and it is most of what we do for Beeston offices. Licences, mailboxes, shared files, new starters and leavers, multi-factor authentication on every account, plus a proper backup of the data because Microsoft does not keep it forever. If something breaks you get an engineer who already knows how your tenant is set up, not a ticket in a queue.
