Custom Web Application Development Services for Scaling SMEs

Services we offer

What we can do for you.

We typically work in one of three ways.

Building something new

Design & develop your custom web application.

Scale faster with software built for your business. We turn complex requirements into clear, actionable builds and deliver web applications ready for launch—not prototypes that need rescuing. Every project is senior-led, predictable, and built to move your business forward from day one.

Modernising an existing system

Migrate or refactor existing systems, reduce technical debt.

Modernise now, save time and money later. Old systems become expensive to maintain and impossible to scale. We migrate critical workflows to modern codebases, tighten performance, and remove brittle dependencies—giving you a foundation that lasts.

Scale & Support

Enhancements, maintenance, optimisation.

Keep your platform fast, stable, and improving.We support growing SMEs with ongoing enhancements, maintenance, and performance optimisation. You get dependable senior engineers in your corner—without the overhead of an in-house team.

5. Learn, adjust & repeat

We'll pause to review whether we're on track to meet your goals, and adjust the plan as needed before moving on to the next milestone.

Repeating this process of working in phases allows you to get increasing amounts of value as we go, and builds flexibility into the development process should your needs change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered.

If you've got a question about working with a web application development company like BitBrawn, chances are we've already covered it below.

What languages do you use?

We primarily work with JavaScript, Ruby and their popular frameworks (React, Next.js, Rails, etc). Naturally our HTML and CSS are superb too.

Can you charge a fixed price?

Yes. We prefer to charge a fixed price for project milestones, because our clients prefer certainty. We usually invoice on a 50% up-front, 50% prior to go-live basis.

What should we expect to pay?

We typically take on projects from about £10,000 upwards. We’ll be honest with you about how much we can help given your budget.

Do you offer support?

Our work comes with 30 days of complimentary bug fixes and support from the point it goes live. Outside of this, support can be negotiated on a per-engagement basis.

Will you work with our team?

Yes, we love to work with other developers. Collaboration is great for quality software, it allows us to share best practices your business can benefit from after we're gone.

What if our plans change?

Our milestone-based approach means we can adjust the scope of the project as needed. We can negotiate something new or cancel milestones. Cancellations will mean no deliverables from us, and no 50% final payment for you.

Will you come to our offices?

Yes — We primarily work remotely, but we're happy to be with you in-person when it makes sense to do so. This can be factored into the scope of your project, or billed for at an hourly rate.

Are you the right size for us?

Where necessary, we can pull in additional resource from a network of trusted associates (skilled designers, developers, and subject matter experts) to keep things running smoothly.
