What is the difference between website design and web development?

Website design is for standard business websites with pages, content, and a contact form. Custom web development is for complex applications like CRM systems, e-commerce platforms, and booking systems that require bespoke functionality.

Why do you use Laravel instead of WordPress?

WordPress works for blogs and simple sites. Laravel is for custom business applications - CRM systems, complex workflows, multi-user applications, and API integrations that WordPress cannot handle reliably.

How long does custom web development take?

Most projects take 4-8 weeks from requirements to launch. Complex applications can take 3-6 months. We work in sprints with regular demos every 2 weeks so you see progress throughout.

Can you integrate with our existing software?

Yes. We specialise in integrations - Xero, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, payment processors, and more. If it has an API, we can connect to it.

Do you build Laravel apps for businesses in Northwich?

Yes. We are based in Northwich and build custom applications for Cheshire businesses with local discovery sessions and ongoing face-to-face support.

How do I get a quote for custom Laravel development?

Every project is scoped individually after requirements gathering. Contact us for a detailed quote - no surprise costs mid-project.

Do I own the code after launch?

Yes. You own the application and source code. We host and maintain if you want, but you are never locked into our platform.

Can you migrate from an old system to Laravel?

Yes. We plan data migration, parallel running where needed, and phased cutover to minimise downtime for your Cheshire business.

Do you provide maintenance after launch?

Yes. All projects include a post-launch support period. Ongoing maintenance packages cover updates, security patches, and feature enhancements.

What if our requirements change during development?

We work in agile sprints. Change requests are scoped and quoted transparently so you stay in control of budget and timeline.

About Custom Web Development

When your business needs more than a brochure website - when you need custom CRM to manage leads, a bespoke booking system, multi-vendor e-commerce, or business automation - that's custom web development. We build using Laravel, a modern PHP framework that powers major platforms like Laravel Forge and Statamic. Think of it as WordPress's more capable older sibling for complex applications. We've built CRMs for property companies, booking systems for events, and e-commerce for Cheshire retailers. These aren't template solutions - they're built specifically for how your business works.
