About us

Who are we?

We are an Edinburgh based team of highly skilled and experienced professionals: programmers, designers and analysts, passionate about building the web.

We call ourselves web-based application developers because what we build goes far beyond brochure sites. We engineer complete, production-grade applications: from database schema to pixel-perfect UI, from security hardening to long-term support agreements.

Services

What do we do?

We design, build and deliver complete web-based applications from first conversation to ongoing support.

Analysis & Consultation

We listen carefully to understand your business needs, then translate them into a clear technical specification before a single line is written.

Design & Architecture

Clean UI, solid database design and a scalable application architecture. Built right from the start, not retrofitted later.

Development

Full-stack development in PHP (Yii framework), MySQL, jQuery and modern HTML5/CSS. Proper OOP, version controlled and documented.

Testing & QA

Rigorous testing across devices and browsers before any launch. We find the bugs so your users never do.

Launch & Deployment

Server configuration, deployment pipelines and go-live support. We make sure the launch day is boring (in the best possible way).

Support & Training

Post-launch support, staff training, monitoring and backups. We stick around because good software is a long-term relationship.

Our motivation

Why do we do it?

Because we genuinely love it. Enthusiasm is our competitive advantage.

  • Passion-driven

    We are enthusiastic about every project, regardless of size. That energy shows in the quality of the result.

  • Security first

    Security is never bolted on after the fact. It is baked into the architecture from day one.

  • Honest partnership

    We give you straight answers, realistic timelines and no hidden costs. Your success is our success.

“Over twenty years in software engineering has taught us that the best application is not the one with the most features. It is the one that is robust, secure, and easy to use for the people who actually need it.” - Weboholics team

Our process

How is it done?

Hard work, discipline, good management and knowledge, applied in a structured process that keeps projects on time and on budget.

1

Discovery

We meet, listen and ask the right questions. We document requirements and agree on scope before any work begins.

2

Design & Planning

Wireframes, database schema, API contracts. Everything is agreed and signed off before development starts.

3

Development

Iterative development with regular demos. You see progress at every stage and can provide feedback continuously.

4

Testing & Review

Functional testing, security review, cross-browser and device testing. Nothing ships without our sign-off.

5

Launch & Handover

Smooth deployment, documentation handover and staff training where required. We make sure your team is confident.

6

Ongoing Support

Monitoring, backups, updates and feature requests. We are a long-term partner, not a one-time vendor.

Our technology stack

PHP (OOP) Yii Framework MySQL jQuery JavaScript HTML5 CSS3 Bootstrap Apache Linux Git / Mercurial Virtual Machines REST APIs
