Custom web application development for UK businesses
Foundry builds custom web apps and software for UK businesses: customer portals, internal dashboards, booking and quoting tools, and MVPs for start-ups. A web app is something people log into and use, unlike a marketing website. Senior developers write and review the code with AI tools doing the repetitive work.

Web app development questions

It depends on scope.
Yes. We focus on the smallest version that proves the idea, so you can test it with users and investors quickly.
Yes. The code, accounts and data are yours.
Yes. Most apps need to talk to a CRM, payments, accounting or a shop. See API integrations.
We use AI tools to speed up routine work. A senior developer designs the structure and reviews every change before it goes live.
