Custom Web Application Development

What Is A Custom Web Application?

A web application is a computer program that sends and retrieves information from a database by connecting to a website. Some popular examples of this you may already be familiar with, including Google Docs, Slack and Airtable. Each of these is already used by millions of businesses around the world in order to transfer data, share ideas and resources, and collaborate with team members no matter where they are.

If your business already uses these, then you’re well aware of the fact that web applications have the potential to save you time and improve the efficiency of your team. They’re also a secure channel through which your team can connect and share information and data, even if it is sensitive. Most web apps known to the general public are free, although businesses can purchase a subscription if they need more space, faster transfer rates, advanced security and more.

With a custom web application, this idea is taken one step further. Just like a fully responsive custom website doesn’t rely on a pre-made template, a custom web application is built from the ground up according to your personal specifications. In this way, it bypasses the SaaS model of most publicly available web apps, and gives you everything you need without a subscription.

With a custom web application development company like Sentia, you get an application that is unique simply because it has been designed to meet your specific needs. Off-the-shelf applications are often powerful with a range of attractive features, but they may not have all the bells and whistles you need to grow your business and stay relevant in the future.

Why Web App Development?

When it comes to enterprise-level applications to power your day-to-day business operations, custom web apps are the popular choice for a reason. They have the ability to provide on the go business services, thus expanding your company's reach and enhancing customer service and user experience. Alongside this, they can be distributed across the globe, are easily accessed at any time, and have fewer restrictions than mobile applications.

Because web applications are data-driven and fully customisation, they can help you make smarter decisions, simplify collaboration and offer deeper engagement with your end-users. There is also the fact that web apps make it easy to measure performance, calculate your ROI and forecast future trends. So you can easily adjust your sales, marketing and operational strategies accordingly.

Our web application development services focus on delivering web apps that are fully responsive and lightning fast. This alone delivers a significant portion of overall satisfactory user experiences. And when people enjoy using an app, they will use it again. Which increases user engagement across the board.

With the latest encryption and coding technologies behind every web application we develop, you can rest assured that your custom web application is secure from online threats and malicious cyber-attacks.

Key Benefits Of Custom Web Applications

Built to your specifications

Achieving a bespoke web application that has been developed exclusively for your company is the biggest advantage of opting for custom web apps. Third-party web apps have a lot of features, but these often require a subscription to unlock. 'Off the shelf' apps have also been designed to suit as many industries and business models as possible, so you might end up with a slew of features you don’t need.

A custom web app removes the clutter by giving you exactly what you need without all the extras, and saves you money in the long run because there's no subscription.

Customisation And Scalable

If your business is just starting out or is only just beginning to come into its own, then you don’t need a web app with dozens of features and massive amounts of data storage, at least for now. With a custom web app, you can scale the app to suit your growing needs. And also add additional features as they arise.
