Introduction
At Bluestorm, we develop bespoke web applications that meet your needs exactly. So, whether you’re looking for a custom CRM, a booking system, an intranet, a touchscreen display panel, or something entirely unique, we can create a web app that is tailored to meet your goals and built to last.
As one of our region’s most experienced web app development agencies, we don’t produce bloated systems, based on cost per subscription or user. Instead, we create high-performance, scalable yet secure platforms, that give you the freedom to manage users, data and features exactly as you need.
A platform shaped around your business
Every application we build is designed to support your users and goals. Built in-house using Laravel, our web apps are high-performing, secure and open source, with no licensing costs, no limits on users, and no unnecessary features.
We don’t believe in bloated systems. Our approach is about lean, efficient development that delivers exactly what you need, whether that’s a booking engine, internal resource portal or touch screen interface. Our platforms grow with you, and adapt to your business as it evolves.
