Overview

Web Application Development for organisations in the United States.

Many US companies looking for custom software development need something specific: a client portal, an application and approval process, a booking system, a partner dashboard or an internal tool that replaces spreadsheets. Building it from scratch on a bespoke framework is expensive and leaves you dependent on one developer.

WordPress already provides authentication, user roles, an admin interface, a REST API and a large ecosystem. We use that foundation and write the custom parts your process needs. Our team has built recruitment portals, registration systems and ticketing platforms this way.

In detail

Web Application Development in the United States, in detail.

01

What we build on WordPress

Typical web applications include client and member portals with documents and messages, multi-step application or registration flows with review and approval, dashboards that summarise data for managers, booking and scheduling systems, and internal tools for operations teams. The ASEP Logistics recruitment portal and HR dashboard, the Federal Ministry of Education boot camp registration with PLANE-FCDO, and the Technext ticketing platform, which sold and scanned more than 10,000 tickets with QR check-in, are examples of our work.

02

Roles, permissions and audit trails

Business applications need clear rules about who can see and change what. We design custom roles and capabilities, so applicants, reviewers, managers and administrators each get the right view. Sensitive actions are logged, so you can see who approved what and when. For US organisations this also supports privacy obligations: limiting access to personal information, answering access or deletion requests under laws such as the CCPA, and showing reviewers what controls are in place.

03

Integrations with your US stack

Web applications rarely stand alone. We connect them to the tools your teams use: CRMs, accounting platforms, scheduling tools, document signing and payment providers such as Stripe, including ACH Direct Debit for invoices paid from US bank accounts. Integrations use official APIs and webhooks, with error logging and retry handling so data does not quietly go missing. Where you need data out, we expose a secure API or scheduled exports.

04

Accessible interfaces for staff and the public

Internal tools are easy to forget when thinking about accessibility, but staff with disabilities use them too, and public-facing portals fall under ADA expectations. Public bodies and their contractors must meet WCAG 2.1 AA under Title II. We build forms, tables, dashboards and modals that work with a keyboard and screen readers, with clear error handling. Accessible interfaces also reduce training time, because they are more predictable.

05

How a web application project runs

We start with a discovery phase that maps users, workflows, data and integrations, and identifies risks early. You receive a written specification and scope with milestones. We build in stages on staging, demonstrating working features in your morning so feedback shapes the next stage. Development projects start from $5,000, priced in US dollars, and ongoing support is available through Managed Services from $2,000 per year.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is WordPress suitable for a web application?

For many business applications, yes. Portals, approval workflows, registrations and dashboards benefit from WordPress's built-in users, roles, admin and API. For applications with very unusual performance or data needs, a different stack may fit better, and we will say so during discovery.

How is this different from custom software development?

It is custom software, built on a foundation that already solves common problems such as logins, permissions and content editing. That usually means faster delivery, lower cost and more developers able to support it later than a fully bespoke build.

Can the application handle personal data responsibly?

Yes. We limit access by role, log sensitive actions, and build tools to export or delete a person's data when they ask. Which state laws apply is for your counsel, but the application is designed to support those obligations. Retention rules can delete old records automatically.

Can you integrate with the software we already use?

In most cases. We integrate through official APIs and webhooks with CRMs, accounting, scheduling and payment tools, including Stripe. We review each integration in discovery to confirm what the other system allows. If an API is missing, we look at alternatives such as scheduled file exports.

What does a web application cost?

Our development work starts from $5,000 in US dollars. Web applications vary widely, so the final figure comes from the discovery phase and is set out in a written scope with milestones before building begins. Ongoing support can follow through Managed Services.
