WEB APPS
DEVELOPMENT

What are web applications? They are advanced business software solutions that function like a program run in a browser, without requiring installation on a hard drive. In recent years, web applications have gained significant popularity, becoming the market standard and effectively displacing traditional systems installed on user computers (desktop type). Thanks to their flexible architecture, dedicated web solutions eliminate distribution issues, offering secure data access from anywhere in the world.

As an experienced Software House, we have focused on web application development since the very beginning of our operations. We design systems running on high-performance servers with user interfaces accessible via the web. Web applications utilize technologies (e.g., Java, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS) that we select on an individual basis. Our experience encompasses both dedicated applications for small businesses and simple websites, as well as advanced enterprise-class applications (e.g., those integrating with CRM systems). This ensures that our applications are perfectly tailored to your needs.

AND BUSINESS SOLUTIONS DESIGN

Business Analysis
and Strategy

If you do not have a specific concept, we analyze your business processes and individual needs. Together, we define what functionalities your future web application should possess. If you already have a specification, we proceed to requirements analysis to ensure the application development runs smoothly.

 

Development of advanced applications

We create an architecture adapted for implementation in your company. We design the user interface (UI) and take care of UX to ensure the application is interactive. We base the entire development process (utilizing technologies such as Java, PHP, or JavaScript) on the Agile methodology. Web applications created this way are regularly tested. The finished web application is launched on a server.

 

Maintenance
and Development

We offer support and updates for web applications. Web applications can be easily expanded with new functionalities and integrated with other systems. We constantly monitor performance, ensuring that the application can process data quickly.

Advantages and types
of web applications
for the user

The question of the difference between a web application and a website often arises. A standard website is usually a static business card. A website is a collection of documents, whereas a modern web application serves to execute business tasks. Web applications offer advanced interactivity. In turn, web applications function like computer programs. Therefore, the main difference between a web application and a website lies in their purpose.

A web application allows users to work from anywhere. The user interface accessible via a web browser ensures immediate availability. A web application enabling remote work is a necessity today.

Unlike desktop applications, you do not need to install anything on the end device. The software runs on the server side. Updates take place centrally, which drastically reduces costs. Dedicated web applications save IT time.

In the case of web applications, a computer failure does not mean data loss, as it is secure on the server. A web application will increase the security of your business through central backups.

The web application is available regardless of the operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS). The web application also functions as a mobile application (thanks to RWD) or in the form of solutions such as Progressive Web Apps (PWA), which can operate offline. All you need is internet access and a browser.

Types of web applications vary, but all advanced web applications utilize a modern tech stack. Web applications provide speed and scalability. The advantages of web applications also include easy API integration.

Case study

Polityka Publishing House

Our long-term partnership with Wydawnictwo Polityka is based on continuous technological development. As an IT partner, we are responsible for the digital transformation of one of the largest opinion publishers in Poland. We have created and continue to develop key digital products: the Polityka.pl portal and the Polityka Insight analytical center. Our goal was to deliver stable, scalable web solutions capable of handling massive traffic and ensuring intuitive content management.

Challenge and business goals

  • Polityka.pl: The Client needed a comprehensive CMS system for the entire editorial staff that would handle payment systems, subscriptions, and the publication of digital editions for a mass audience.

  • Polityka Insight: The goal was to create the technological backend for a new analytical center from scratch. The service had to reach a specific target group (politicians, diplomats, managers) and enable precise client database management as well as the presentation of advanced analyses.

Solution and Web Platforms

  • Comprehensive CMS for Polityka.pl: The system handles the collection, analysis, and management of user data as well as content publishing. We integrated it with advanced payment modules and a paywall.
  • Polityka Insight Platform: We created a tool that is not only an information service but also a CRM system for easy management of individual client needs.

Technologies and Integrations

In both projects, we relied on a dependable technology stack designed to guarantee server-side performance. We utilized technologies such as: Java (including Java 8), Spring, Hibernate, MySQL, Apache Tomcat, as well as advanced search and templating engines (Lucene, Velocity).

Application Testing and Optimization

  • Tests: We conducted a series of functional and performance tests to ensure that the web application operates stably and meets business requirements.
  • Optimization: We optimized the code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) as well as database queries, which ensured the smooth operation of the website even under heavy load.

Updates and Development

  • Monitoring and Support: We provide continuous technical support. We monitor the web application’s performance, reacting quickly to reports from the editorial team and users.
  • Updates and Development: We are continuously working on system updates and the development of new functionalities to ensure the platform meets market demands. A few years ago, we also created native mobile applications (Android/iOS) integrated with the service, which you can read about here.

Implementation Results

  • Increased efficiency: The new CMS significantly streamlined the content creation and publication process, reducing the time the editorial team spends working on the website.
  • Improved reader engagement: Thanks to new features (recommendation system, newsletters, social media interaction), the publisher recorded an increase in user engagement.
  • Scalability and security: The modernized server-side architecture ensured data security and scalability, enabling stable growth in the web environment.
