Custom apps & business tools
Apps and tools built around how your business works
Sometimes off-the-shelf software just doesn’t fit. We build web apps, customer portals, dashboards and internal tools that connect to your website, CRM and automations, so your team can stop working around the gaps.
What we build
Software that fills the gaps
Customer portals
Somewhere your customers can log in to see bookings, quotes, invoices or progress, without phoning you to ask.
Dashboards & internal tools
One screen for the numbers and jobs your team actually needs, pulled together from the systems you already use.
Booking & ordering apps
Simple, branded ways for customers to book, order or request a quote, feeding straight into your automations.
Plugins & integrations
Custom WordPress plugins and connections between tools that don’t usually talk to each other.
How it works
Small first, then build on it
01Scope it
We work out exactly what the app needs to do, who uses it and what it connects to, then give you a fixed quote.
02Build in stages
We build a first working version quickly, get it in front of real users and improve it from their feedback.
03Launch and look after it
Once it’s live we can host it, keep it updated and add features as your business grows.
In the works
Food Signals
A food tracking app we’ve designed and built. It turns calories, protein, fibre and fat into simple red, amber and green signals, with menus from UK chains built in. It’s launching on Google Play soon, with Apple to follow, and we’ll share the full story once it’s live.
We also build the tools we run Sigvia on, including our own invoicing and hosting request system.
FAQ
Custom app questions
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes, for the right project. Mobile apps take more time and ongoing care than a website, so we’ll talk through whether a web app or a mobile app makes more sense before we quote.
Can it connect to our existing systems?
Almost always. Most of what we build plugs into the tools you already use, like your website, CRM, email, payments or accounting software.
How much does a custom app cost?
It depends on what it needs to do. We scope it with you first and give you a fixed quote. Starting with a small first version is often the quickest and most affordable way in.
Who looks after it once it’s live?
We can, on a monthly support plan that covers updates, fixes and small improvements. Ownership and hosting are agreed up front and written into the proposal.
