Discuss your project

Web app or website

A web app works for you, a website works for your prospects

A web app serves your internal users or your registered customers. They log in, work with data, track metrics, automate processes. It often replaces spreadsheets, disconnected tools and repetitive manual data entry.

A custom web app is built for your specific workflow. Not for the workflow of a generic SaaS vendor that forces you to bend your process to its software.

What we build

Four types of web apps we build

Customer portals and member areas

Secure interfaces where your customers access their information, their documents, their invoices or their orders. Fewer support calls and a better customer experience.

Dashboards and analytics tools

Visualization of your business data in real time. Metrics, charts and reports adapted to your activity. Faster decisions, based on data that’s always up to date.

Internal tools and automations

Applications that replace your spreadsheets, your manual data entry and your scattered processes. Measurable time savings and fewer human errors.

SaaS platforms and digital products

Design and development of complete SaaS products, with user management, recurring payments and infrastructure built to grow with your customer base.

Our technical capabilities

Three technical pillars of our web apps

01

Frontend and user experience

Interfaces fluides en React, Vue ou frameworks modernes selon le projet. Performance, accessibilité et compatibilité multi-appareils intégrées dès la conception.

02

Backend, APIs and databases

Architectures robustes en Node.js, Laravel, Python ou .NET selon les besoins. Gestion des données, sécurité et performance pour absorber la croissance de votre usage.

03

Integrations and third-party services

Connexions avec votre CRM, votre comptabilité, vos outils marketing, vos plateformes de paiement et vos API tierces. Vos systèmes fonctionnent ensemble.

Our process

From discovery to deployment

01

Discovery and scoping

A discovery workshop with your operational teams, mapping of current processes and identification of the highest-impact automation levers. This scoping produces a clear, costable MVP scope.

02

Architecture and UX

Designing the technical architecture, selecting the right technologies and designing the UX of the key screens. Validating the structural decisions before any code is written.

03

Iterative development

Iterative development with feature releases at regular intervals and structured reviews. You test the modules as we go, not all at once at the end of the project.

04

Testing, deployment and training

Functional tests, load tests and security tests before deployment. Training for your users and complete documentation delivered with the code.

05

Evolution and maintenance

Production monitoring, fixes, optimizations and new features as your usage evolves. Web apps aren’t frozen in place, they live with your business.

Is this for you?

Seven signs a custom web app is the right answer

• You use several spreadsheets to manage a single process
• Your teams re-enter the same information into several disconnected tools
• Your current software doesn't cover your specific use cases
• Your customers are asking for a self-service interface to access their information
• You want to create a digital product to sell to your own customers
• You're wasting time on repetitive tasks that could be automated
• Your operational data is scattered and hard to consolidate

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get about web apps

What is the difference between a website and a web application?

A website informs or presents: it delivers content to visitors. A web application puts its users to work: they log in, manipulate data and complete recurring tasks. An online store sits in between. A custom CRM, a client portal or an internal dashboard are clearly web applications.

How much does a custom web application cost?

Web application projects generally start at around $15,000 for simple internal tools and can exceed $100,000 for full platforms with user management, payments and multiple integrations. We quote each project after a structured discovery phase to define the real scope.

How long does it take to develop a web application?

From 8 to 12 weeks for a focused MVP (Minimum Viable Product). From 4 to 9 months for a full platform. We always favor a phased approach with an MVP delivered quickly and iterations based on early user feedback, rather than a monolithic year-long build before the first launch.

Can you take over an application built by another team?

Yes, but with a prior audit of the code, the architecture, the dependencies and the existing documentation. Taking over a poorly documented application or one built on outdated technologies can cost more than a rebuild. We assess the situation honestly before committing.

Do you have a process that deserves better than an Excel sheet?

Whether you have a clear idea or a problem that’s still fuzzy, we can scope an application that actually solves the right problem. First exploratory meeting with no commitment.
