Web apps — Elmore County, AL & nationwide

Custom web apps that do real work for your business.

Customer portals, booking and quote tools, internal dashboards, and the software that runs behind them. Built on modern frameworks, then hosted and maintained by the same team, so you're never stuck with code nobody will touch.

What we build

When a website isn't enough

A website tells people about your business. A web app lets them get something done: book a time, request a quote, check an order, or log in to see their account. It also covers the tools your own team uses to run things behind the scenes.

Common projects include:

  • Customer portals and client dashboards
  • Booking, scheduling, and quote request tools
  • Internal dashboards and admin panels that replace spreadsheets
  • Calculators and lead tools that sit on your website
  • Ordering and e-commerce flows built around how you actually sell

How we build

  • PHP & Laravel back ends
  • React & Next.js front ends
  • Linux & Docker hosting
  • Works on phones and desktops
  • Secure logins and data handling
  • Monitored and maintained after launch

Fixes, features, and modernization

Not every project starts from scratch. We step into existing applications to find the bug nobody could reproduce, add features to a codebase somebody else wrote, and move aging apps onto modern frameworks without breaking what already works.

If your app runs on an outdated version of PHP, a framework that's no longer supported, or a server nobody wants to log in to, we'll look at what you have and lay out the options before quoting anything.

Who builds it

Andrew Van Alstine leads our app work: a full stack developer working across PHP, Laravel, React, Next.js, Linux, and Docker. Ashton Geer brings 12+ years of systems, networking, and hosting experience to keep it fast and online. Two people, no outsourcing.

Two ways to get your app

We build it for you

Custom apps are quoted per project once we understand what it needs to do, who uses it, and what it connects to. You'll get a clear scope and price before any work starts.

Questions

Web app development FAQ

What's the difference between a website and a web app?

A website mostly shows information: who you are, what you offer, how to reach you. A web app does work: customers log in, book, order, or track something, and your team manages it from a dashboard. Many businesses start with a website and add app features later.

How much does a custom web app cost?

Custom apps are quoted per project once we understand what it needs to do, who uses it, and what it connects to. If you'd rather build a simple app yourself, Silvea Builder has a web app plan starting at $24.99/month.

Can you work on an app someone else built?

Yes. We fix bugs, add features to existing codebases, and move aging applications onto modern frameworks without breaking what already works.

What technologies do you use?

Mostly PHP and Laravel on the back end, React and Next.js on the front end, and Linux and Docker for hosting. We pick what fits the project and what you can maintain long term.

Do you host and maintain the app after launch?

Yes. The same team that builds the app can host it, monitor it, and keep it updated, so there's one place to go when something needs attention.
