Custom Web Applications
Portals, dashboards and internal business applications where the workflow is specific to the organisation and off-the-shelf software would have to be bent out of shape.
Capabilities
What we implement
- Client and partner portals with self-service functions
- Operational dashboards and reporting views
- Authentication, role-based access and audit logging
- Integration with existing business and accounting systems
- Database design, migrations and background jobs
Security
How it is hardened
- Server-side authorisation on every action, not just the UI
- Row-level access rules enforced in the database
- Encrypted transport and at-rest storage
- Session, password and credential-rotation policy
Architecture
Web application architecture
Authorisation is enforced on the server and in the database, so a hidden button is never the only thing protecting a record.

FAQ
Custom Web Applications questions we are asked
- How is a web application different from a website?
- A website presents information. An application performs work — accounts, records, permissions, workflow and state that must stay correct.
- Can it integrate with our existing systems?
- Yes, where an API, database access or scheduled export exists. Integration points are mapped during scoping.
- Who owns the code?
- You do, on handover, along with the repository, documentation and deployment procedure.
- How are users and permissions handled?
- Roles are defined with you, then enforced server-side and at the database, with an audit trail of privileged actions.
