Web Applications
Web Applications are serious websites with complex requirements. Beyond serving up static HTML, Web Applications are highly dynamic, often with a community of visitors, complex data manipulation or active content management.
Web Apps may involve document and media management, calendaring, social features (forums, user profiles, etc.), or specific attention to User-Experience (UX) design.
Think of how Facebook connects you to your friends, how you can buy books from Amazon.com, or look up the session times at your local cinema. There’s certainly something powerful going on behind the scenes.
Clever companies are starting to use Web Applications to automate their workflows — and the difference is enormous.
Project Management
As web applications can be very complex, their development and maintenance must be properly managed. This ensures that the many requirements and constraints of the project are properly delivered and costs are managed.
We offer project management for all of our projects, as well as reporting and analytics to properly inform decisions.
As development of your Web Application progresses, there will be multiple stages of development, testing, acceptance, and billing, which are performed in iterative fashion to ensure that the site develops and evolves towards the eventual goal.
Hosting
We provide high-reliability, high-bandwidth, and powerful hosting for Web Applications.
This way your web application is always running at high-performance, and with the burstable architecture of our Cloud Host can handle traffic spikes as they come in.
Pricing
Pricing for the simplest web applications start from around $10k, but may scale upwards of $25k for complex applications.
Pricing strongly depends on many factors:
- Scale and complexity
- Special features
- Sourcing of content and media
- Maintenance requirements
- Anticipated traffic/bandwidth
- Migration of existing data/media
- And other considerations
We encourage you to get in contact with us, to arrange a consultation where we can discuss the best way to deliver your project.
The time required for design and implementation of a Web Application depends on the same factors, as well as how promptly content and media are supplied by the client, and whether requirements of the website must be further refined before commencement.
Quoting
Because of these pricing factors, we must discuss with you what you need and the best way of delivering it. Often this is a simple exercise with only a few hours of consultation, but for large projects it may require several iterations before a final design is settled.
Because consultation and development of plans can be very complex, we may apply a fee to recover costs during the proposal stage, based on our standard consultation rate of $100/hr.
