Custom web applications

What a web app can do for your business.

A web app is a tool your customers or your team use in the browser: it works out a price, takes a booking, shows a customer their order or keeps your jobs in one list. It runs on a phone or a computer, and it can sit inside your business website or on its own.

We build web apps for small and medium businesses, around the way you already quote, sell and book. The starting point is the work your team repeats: the spreadsheet everyone edits, the quotes written by hand, the questions customers ring to ask.

Customer portals

A login where your customers see their quotes, orders, documents or the progress of a job, so they can check without ringing to ask.

  • Each customer sees only their own records
  • Quotes, orders and documents in one place
  • Updates your team posts as a job moves
  • Built around the steps your jobs go through

Quote calculators and estimators

Customers price a job themselves from your products and measurements. Our working example is below.

Product visualisers

Customers see a product or finish in a photo of their own space before they buy. Our working example is below.

Booking and enquiry systems

Online bookings and enquiries that collect the details you need, so you can reply with a time or a price straight away.

Dashboards for your team

Jobs, leads and orders in one place, instead of spread across spreadsheets, inboxes and paper.

Workflow automation

The repeated steps between an enquiry and a finished job, handled by software instead of by hand.

Our own products

Examples of web apps we have built.

Quote Estimator

Customers pick a product, enter their measurements and get an itemised estimate from your pricing rules, at any hour. Our working example is for flooring. The same engine suits tiling, painting, cabinetry, blinds and other work quoted by measurement.

Product Visualiser

Customers upload a photo of their room, choose a product from your range and see it in place before they ask for a quote. Flooring is the first working example. The same engine can be tailored to paint, tiles, cabinetry, blinds and other products people choose by look.

How we build web apps.

We start from how you work now: what a customer asks, what your team checks, and where a job slows down.

Then we build the smallest tool that fixes that, test it with real jobs, and add to it as your business needs more.

  1. Set up from your own rules

    Your products, prices, margins and steps live in settings, so changing a price is a quick edit.

  2. Your branding

    Your logo, colours, catalogue and wording, so customers see your business, not ours.

  3. Nothing to download

    It opens in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. We build web apps, not iPhone or Android apps.

  4. Hosted and looked after

    A separate deployment for your business, hosted by us, with updates, backups and monitoring as part of the plan.

  5. Built to grow

    Written cleanly, so new steps, products or features can be added as the business changes.

How much does a web app cost?

Every web app is priced individually from a written scope. It costs more than a website, and the price depends on how many screens it has, the rules behind them, whether people log in, and what it connects to.

A focused tool is the cheapest place to start: one job done well, then more added when it has proved itself. Your itemised quote shows the timeline and the ongoing fees before work starts.

Your quote shows

  • The screens and steps, written out
  • The rules and calculations behind them
  • User accounts and logins, if you need them
  • Connections to the systems you already use
  • Testing, launch and a written timeline
  • Hosting, updates and support after launch

Our process is five clear steps

Every web app covers scope, structure, design, development, testing and launch.

Your most common questions, answered.

Still deciding what you need?

Ask us directly
What is the difference between a website and a web app?

Your website explains what you offer and brings in enquiries. A web app does a task with your customer or your team: a quote calculator works out a price from measurements, a booking system takes a time, a customer portal shows the progress of an order, and a dashboard keeps your jobs in one list. The two often work together, with the web app linked from your website or built into it.

How much does a web app cost?

It depends on the scope, and it costs more than a website. Logins and connections to other systems are what add most.

How long does a web app take to build?

Longer than a website, and it depends on the scope. A focused tool such as a quote calculator is quicker than a portal with user accounts and integrations.

Is a web app the same as a mobile app?

No. A web app runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so there is nothing to download from an app store. We build web apps, not native iPhone or Android apps.

Can it match our pricing rules?

Yes. Pricing, margins, and product options are configured to your exact logic, and you can update them yourself.

Can it go on our existing website?

Yes. It can be embedded into your current site or run as its own standalone page.

Who hosts and looks after the web app?

We do. Hosting, updates, backups and monitoring are part of the ongoing plan, and you have a direct line to the developer who built it when you want something changed.

Do you work with businesses outside Melbourne?

Yes. We are based in Melbourne and work with businesses across Australia. Most projects run over video calls and email, so being in another city makes no difference to the build.

We had an amazing experience working with Web App Launch. They were very professional, creative, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. They delivered a beautiful, modern, and user friendly website that exceeded our expectations.

Since launching our new website, we have seen a significant increase in website views and customer enquiries, which has had a very positive impact on our business.

We are extremely happy with the results and truly appreciate their hard work, attention to detail, and excellent service. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and talented web designer.

Thank you for your fantastic work!

Flooring HouseFlooring retailer, Melbourne · Google review, September 2026Read the case study

My experience with Web App Launch is unmatched. I have been thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Tailoring to all my needs including every little small detail, their developer, Shayan, did not disappoint when completing my website.

Firstly, we were able to discuss what I needed and Shayan’s attention to detail was second to none. He was able to provide me with 2-3 weekly updates when a certain section of the website was complete (making sure it’s perfect which I appreciate!)

There is a good reason why I chose Web App Launch to help me expand my career. I can assure you that if you need to grow your business and have a website, then they are your guy!
