Enterprise Web Platforms: Custom Websites, Web Apps and Portals
Architecture, build, integrations and migration for websites, applications and portals. We build on WordPress, Laravel and headless stacks. We can start from discovery or pick up a build that has stalled.
Our founder is certified by WordPress VIP as an Advanced Professional WordPress Developer.
What we build
Custom Website Development
Bespoke themes, plugins and applications, with integrations built in.
CMS Websites — WordPress, Laravel
Content-led sites on WordPress, or Laravel where the logic is more complex.
Enterprise Web Development
Discovery and architecture first, then a build for large editorial and multi-site estates.
Web Applications & Portals
Web applications with portals and member areas, connected to the systems around them.
Microservices Architecture
Separately deployed services, or an API layer around the site you already have.
Who it suits
- Marketing and CMS sites that need a custom build.
- Large editorial and publishing estates running multiple sites.
- Organisations building a portal, a member area or a web application.
- Teams replatforming or migrating from another CMS.
How we engage
- Fixed scope. A defined build, with the scope agreed before work starts.
- Time and materials or retainer. For work that will change or continue after the first release.
- Team augmentation. We work inside your team or your agency’s.
- Rescue of a stalled build. We take over a project that has stopped moving and continue from where it stands.
What you get
- Discovery and architecture.
- A custom build: theme, plugin or application, with integrations such as CRM, SSO, search and payments.
- Content and data migration.
- Performance and security hardening.
- Launch support at handover.
- Source code and repository access.
- Documentation.
- A training session for your team and editors.
Stacks we work with
- WordPress
- Laravel
- PHP
- JavaScript (React, Vue.js)
- Headless builds (REST and GraphQL APIs)
- Other web platforms on request
Our microservices work covers two things: splitting a large site into separately deployed services, and adding an API and integration layer (sync, integrations, queues) around an existing site.

Questions
Do we own the code?
Yes. Ownership transfers on final payment.
Can you work with our in-house team or agency?
Yes. Team augmentation puts us in your in-house team or your agency.
Can you take over a site someone else built?
Yes, including builds that have stalled.
WordPress or something else: how do you decide?
We recommend the platform after discovery, based on your content, integrations, team and scale. WordPress suits most content-led sites. Laravel or a custom application suits complex logic.
Do you provide support after launch?
Launch support comes at handover. After that, Managed Services provides ongoing support.
