Web Development

Custom web development, built to last.

From bespoke websites and booking systems to complex platforms and API integrations, we design and build exactly what your business needs. No outsourcing, no shortcuts. Just clean, purposeful code written by people who genuinely care about what they build.

Our approach

We build things that actually work.

From WordPress plugins and API integrations to fully bespoke web applications, we’ve been building for businesses across the UK since 2001. Everything is written in-house, tested properly, and delivered the way it was scoped.

No outsourcing, no cutting corners, no handing something over and disappearing. Just a team that takes real ownership of what they build.

What we build

If it can be built, we can build it.

From WordPress plugins to fully bespoke web applications, our team has the technical depth to take on projects that other agencies can’t.

WordPress Plugins & Themes

Custom WordPress development built to do exactly what you need. Our developers have built plugins with over 100,000 downloads and know the platform inside out.

API Integrations

We connect your existing tools and platforms so they work together seamlessly. Whether it's accountancy software, payment gateways, product feeds or third-party services, we'll make them talk to each other.

Booking Systems

Bespoke booking and scheduling systems built around how your business operates. Appointment reminders, availability management, payments and upsells, all in one place.

Custom Web Applications

Web apps built from the ground up for your specific requirements. If an off-the-shelf solution doesn't cut it, we'll build something that does.

Portals & Dashboards

Secure client portals, staff dashboards and data reporting tools that give the right people access to the right information, without unnecessary complexity.

Migrations & Rebuilds

Already have something that needs fixing or moving? We're experienced in taking over existing projects, migrating platforms and rebuilding systems that haven't been delivered properly.

How we work

A process that keeps you in the loop.

Four straightforward stages. You’ll always know where things stand and what’s coming next. No confusing jargon, no disappearing acts, no nasty surprises.

Discovery

Understanding what you actually need

Before we write a single line of code, we take the time to understand your project properly. What you’re building, who it’s for, how it needs to work, and what success looks like. We ask the right questions upfront so nothing gets lost in translation later.

Build

Built in stages, tested as we go

We build your project in milestones so you can see progress, test things out, and provide feedback along the way. No big reveal at the end. Just steady, transparent progress from start to finish.

Launch

Delivered properly, not just handed over

When everything is tested and signed off, we handle the launch. We make sure everything is configured correctly, running smoothly and ready for the real world before anything goes live.

Support

We stick around

Once your project is live, we’re still here. Whether you need changes, updates, new features or just someone to call when something doesn’t look right. We’re on hand and we know your project inside out.

Why Webforward?

We're a team that takes ownership of what we build.

Built in-house by our engineers

Code isn’t just what we do, it’s what we love. We’ve been writing it long before it was a career option for most people. Every line is written in-house by people who genuinely care about their craft. No outsourcing, no AI, no cutting corners.

Support from the team that built it

When something needs attention, you’re not raising a ticket with a stranger. You’ll be talking directly to the same people who built your project, people who know it inside out.

We write with:

Broderik Engineering

Streamlining timesheets, scheduling, invoicing and reporting for a growing engineering business.

Stofix

Simplifying project administration and operational workflows through a custom-built platform.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with existing platforms or codebases?

Yes, and we do it regularly. Whether you need us to take over an existing project, add functionality to something already built, or migrate a platform to a more modern setup, we’re comfortable working with what’s already there. We’ll always be honest with you about what’s salvageable and what might be better rebuilt from scratch.

Absolutely. If your project requires confidentiality, we’re happy to sign an NDA before any conversations take place. Just let us know when you get in touch.

Just get in touch and tell us a bit about what you’re looking to build. We’ll arrange a call to find out more, ask the right questions, and put together a clear scope you can move forward with. No commitment required at that stage.

Not at all. Most of our clients come to us with a problem they want to solve rather than a finished brief. We’re good at asking the right questions to help figure out the best approach together.
