Bespoke Application Development
Custom software solutions designed specifically for your business needs, from concept to deployment and beyond.
At Porter Phillips, we specialise in building bespoke software applications that solve real business problems. Based in Selby, North Yorkshire, we work closely with organisations across Yorkshire and the UK to design, develop, and deploy custom solutions that drive efficiency, reduce costs, and create competitive advantage. Every application we build is tailored to your specific workflows, integrations, and growth plans — because off-the-shelf software rarely fits the way your business actually works.
Full-Stack Development Expertise
Our development team works across the entire technology stack, from front-end user interfaces to back-end services and database architecture. We build with modern frameworks including React, Next.js, and Blazor on the front end, powered by robust .NET Core and ASP.NET back-end services. Our applications are designed for performance, security, and maintainability from day one. Whether you need a customer-facing web application, an internal operations platform, or a complex multi-tenant SaaS product, we have the expertise to deliver.
Cloud-Native Architecture
Every application we build is designed with cloud-native principles at its core. We leverage Microsoft Azure to deliver scalable, resilient infrastructure that grows with your business. From Azure App Service for web hosting to Azure SQL for data management, Azure Functions for serverless computing, and Azure Service Bus for message-driven architectures — we architect solutions that perform reliably under load and minimise operational overhead. Our Azure-first approach means your application benefits from enterprise-grade security, global availability, and cost-effective scaling.
Agile Development Process
We follow an agile methodology that keeps you involved at every stage. Fortnightly sprints deliver working software you can test and provide feedback on, ensuring the final product matches your vision. Our process begins with a thorough discovery phase where we map your business processes, identify pain points, and define measurable outcomes. From there, we produce detailed technical specifications, wireframes, and architecture diagrams before writing a single line of code. This upfront investment saves time and money throughout the project.
Integration and Data Migration
Most businesses don't operate in isolation, and neither should your software. We specialise in integrating bespoke applications with your existing systems — whether that's connecting to third-party APIs, synchronising data with legacy databases, or building middleware that bridges old and new platforms. We handle complex data migration projects with care, ensuring data integrity throughout the transition. Our experience with enterprise integrations means we understand the challenges of working with established systems and can navigate them efficiently.
Ongoing Support and Evolution
Launching your application is just the beginning. We provide ongoing support, monitoring, and iterative improvements to ensure your software continues to deliver value as your business evolves. Our support packages include proactive monitoring via Azure Application Insights, regular security updates, performance optimisation, and feature development. We build long-term partnerships with our clients because we believe great software is never truly finished — it grows and adapts alongside your business.
