Web Applications

Web applications that make your business dreams a reality.

We build really, really good web applications.

We may be blowing our own trumpet, but it’s true. We know that the formula for a successful and sustainable web application comes from the perfect balance of strategy, development and design. Once we know what you want and need, we’ll come up with a winning stack of technology to make it happen. We’ll test it, tweak it and work until it’s just right. Whether that’s something entirely new or coming to the rescue on a derailed project. We’ve got your back.

So what is a web application?

A website shows people things. A web application lets them do things. Log in, book a slot, manage an account, run a report, process an order - all in the browser, with nothing to download.

Customer portals, booking systems, dashboards, the internal tool that finally replaces that tangle of spreadsheets (you know the one). If your customers or your team need to get something done online, that’s a web application.

Always the latest version. Because it lives in the browser, everyone gets the latest version the moment it goes live. No updates to chase, no "which version are you on?" Job done.

Custom-built or off-the-shelf?

We do both, so you get a straight answer rather than a sales pitch. Off-the-shelf software gets you moving quickly, and if it already does most of what you need, there’s no sense reinventing the wheel.

Custom-built software fits the way your business actually works, instead of making you bend your processes to fit someone else’s idea of how things should be done.

Often the smartest answer is a bit of both: proven tools where they do the job, bespoke work where your business does things its own way.

Tailored where it counts, sensible everywhere else.

Starting fresh or coming to the rescue

Got a brand new idea? Brilliant. This is where the fun starts. We’ll help you shape it, work out what it really needs to do, and build it properly from day one.
Got a project that’s gone off the rails? A half-built app, a previous supplier who’s gone quiet, a codebase nobody dares touch? Our first job is to understand exactly what’s there and what it needs. Then we get it back on track.

Either way, it works for your business

The goal is always the same: a web application that works for your business, not against it.

How we work

Every project kicks off with a one-day workshop. Every feature and goal gets identified, and we get to grips with how you want the user experience to look and feel. Strategy first, code second.

We work with your designer or ours, then build and support your web application ourselves. No mystery subcontractors, no passing the buck.

We keep in touch regularly throughout the build, so you always know where things stand (and get to enjoy watching it come together). When it’s ready, we walk you through the key features and talk implementation and user experience.

You get a staging environment to test and try out your new web application before anyone else sees it. We keep an eye out for technical issues and fix them as they come up.

After launch we monitor your application for a month, ready to jump on anything that crops up.

Build, bill and b*gger off? Sorry, that’s not us.

Built to grow

If you’re building a web application, you’re building it for your business, and your business isn’t standing still. So we build for where you’re going, not just where you are today. That means clean, maintainable code that’s easier to extend, a technology stack chosen to scale, and a slick, intuitive experience your users will actually enjoy. When you’re ready to add the next feature, your application is ready too. Wherever you’re at, and whatever you need - we can help.

Tech we work with

How we do it

01
Pre-build workshop We start off with a one day workshop. Here we will make sure that every feature and goal is identified and that we understand how you want the user experience to look and feel. This is your chance to pour all your ideas onto the table (and our chance to geek out about them).
02
Design Next we will either collaborate with your designer or kickstart work with our freelance designer (she’s pretty epic) to finalise your design and fill any missing pieces before we begin development.
03
Build phase Once we’ve got the website’s flow and core functionality signed off, we can make a start on the really nifty part: turning the designs into a functioning product. We’ll keep in touch with you regularly so you can keep track of the project (and get excited about it).
04
Post-build walkthrough Now it’s time to show off our work. During the walkthrough, we will provide a demonstration of the key features. Here we will also chat about implementation and user experience.
05
User Testing Next we create a staging environment for you to test and try out your new web application, mobile application or eCommerce site. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any technical issues as they arise so that we can fix them immediately.
06
Deployment Finally, it’s time to flip the page on a new chapter. We’ll deploy the new work, ensuring all the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted. We’ll be on hand monitoring the application or website over the course of a month for any issues that may crop up so that we can get things back in working order.

Our clients say it best

“The experience of working with 1994 was exemplary.”

Their attention to detail regarding the deliverables and their level of customer service were second to none. We always felt in the loop on progress. If any challenges presented themselves that even hinted at impacting timescales or our delivery path, 1994 were forthcoming & transparent in what they were and how they intended to deal with them. The process was simply a joy from start to finish.
