Home/Services/Web Development Guernsey

Web developmentin Guernsey.

Custom web applications for businesses whose needs outgrew the template. Portals, booking systems, marketplaces and integrations, engineered and looked after by one studio in Guernsey.

Based in St Peter Port 20+ years designing & building Design and development under one roof

Some projects are not websites so much as software that happens to live in a browser.

That is the work this page is about. We scope, design and build custom web applications around the way your business actually runs, then keep them running.

Design and engineering under one roof, from the first workflow sketch to launch and support. For design-led sites, see web design in Guernsey; for online shops, ecommerce website design in Guernsey; for native mobile apps, app development in Guernsey.

What we
engineer

The six things we are asked to engineer most, all handled in-house.

Custom web applications

Built around your workflow, not bent to fit someone else’s template.

Portals and dashboards

Secure logins for clients, members or staff, with the right data in front of the right people.

Booking and ordering systems

Availability, payments and confirmations handled end to end.

Marketplaces and platforms

Multi-user products with listings, accounts and admin tools.

Integrations and automation

Your site talking to your CRM, accounts package or stock system, so nobody retypes anything.

APIs and data

Clean, documented endpoints when other systems need to plug in.

How we build,
step by step

Custom builds go wrong when the thinking is rushed, so we do not rush it. Discovery first, so we understand the workflow before writing a line of code. Then a clear specification with a fixed, staged quote.

We build in modern, maintainable frameworks, test as we go, and launch with documentation and support, not a hand-off and a wave.

Development work,
in practice

From booking platforms to member portals, custom engineering is a growing share of what leaves the studio. Browse the work section for recent builds, or ask us about something similar to yours.

Web development in
Guernsey, answered

The questions island businesses ask us most.

What is the difference between web design and web development?
Web design is about how a site looks, communicates and converts. Web development is the engineering underneath: custom functionality, databases, logins and integrations. Most brochure sites need mostly design. Portals, booking systems and platforms need real development. We do both, under one roof, so you do not have to split the project.
How much does a custom web application cost?
It varies enormously with scope, which is exactly why we scope carefully first. After a discovery conversation you get a clear, staged quote with a fixed price for each phase, so there are no surprises.
What do you build with?
Modern, widely supported frameworks such as Laravel, with clean, documented code. That matters because it means any competent developer could pick the project up in future. You are never locked in to us.
Can you connect our website to the systems we already use?
Usually, yes. CRMs, accounting packages, stock systems, payment providers and email platforms all commonly have APIs we can integrate with, so information flows automatically instead of being retyped.
Who owns the code?
You do. When the project is paid for, the code, the data and the accounts are yours.
Do you only work with Guernsey businesses?
We are based in St Peter Port and love working with island businesses, but we also serve clients across the Channel Islands, the UK and internationally, with a second studio in Hong Kong.
