A successful software project of any kind must be carefully planned or it stands a large chance of failure. We at BeansBox can steer you through the risky early stages and help you work out how feasible your ideas are. We can talk you through potential pitfalls before sketching out wireframes to help you - and your investors - see an approximation of what the finished product will look like.
We can also assist with development of a formal specification document, an analysis of your competition, and a 'proof-of-concept' or working prototype of your system. All of this will enable you to formalise your ideas and evaluate their chances of success before investing in the next stages of the project.

To the users of a system, the interface is everything. The success of a software system such as a web application depends on users being able to instinctively get the hang of it in a very short time. With web apps, you are not given the luxury of training your users or relying on a user manual, they have to be able to work it out for themselves.
With our experience in interface design and our designers actively involved throughout the whole development process, we can make sure this happens.
Alternatively you can commission us to build your entire application from the ground up. Some of the applications we have built:
We are specialists in building applications using the LAMP stack:
Our prefered PHP framework is CodeIgniter, this enables us to build application faster and with greater flexibility.
A web application (or web app) is a piece of software which can be used through a browser.
Web applications are gaining popularity over desktop applications because they are easy to update, distribute and scale. They typically require nothing to be installed on the users' computer and can be used by thousands of users simultaneously.
Common web applications which you may have used:
Good question. Obviously we wouldn't get anywhere if we developed a reputation for stealing people's ideas, but to be absolutely certain you might like to speak to your lawyers and draw up a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This is something we do all the time. You can either use our NDA template, or bring in your own.
Check out web applications that we have built, and please contact us for more information.
