Custom Web Application
Development
A Tailor-Built Solution
At Pixel, we specialize in custom web applications. We believe that as all companies and brands are different, so too are their digital needs. Although the commercial software solutions out there are normally very convenient, they can often stunt the growth of your business by holding back true potential.
Rather than trying to make a prebuilt template fit your needs, we design and develop custom tailored solutions that match your businesses needs from the ground up.
Benefits of a custom solution
When you choose to work with our team here at Pixel to design and create a custom web solution, you gain a variety of great benefits, including:
Secure Return on Investment
Although software and websites that are made using templates can meet some of your more immediate needs, as your needs and requirements grow and expand, a very rigid solution is unlikely to help your business grow. With our custom solutions, however, you can get a site or software that will grow and can be adjusted as and when is necessary at a less painful cost.
Security
One of the biggest problems with templates and off-the-shelf solutions is that accomplished hackers easily find weaknesses and can exploit them. With custom solutions, this is less of a worry, as it is harder for hackers to find a way in with software and websites that are custom built and designed with your business in mind.
Scability
We don't create solutions that hold back growth. We only create hand-crafted software that help our clients scale. That's just one of the many unique benefits to custom web applications made by us.

Web Application FAQs
We get quite a lot of questions about our Brisbane Web Application development, so we've compiled a list to answer those burning questions.
You can think of a custom web application as a website tailor-built for you and your business.
It's no secret that some off-the-shelf products or platforms just don't quite fit some businesses and their needs, and this is where we step in to create dynamic scalable custom solutions that are tailored to these businesses.
We use cutting egde frameworks to ensure there is no tech debt holding back our custom solutions from scaling to a businesses needs.
It's also true that custom applications regularly cost more than off-the-shelf products, but a good comparison is this:
You wouldn't reuse someone elses tooth bridge would you? It won't fit properly and cause you discomfort. You'd tell your dentist to have a custom one built for your teeth to ensure that proper fit. A custom solution is exactly that. A platform built to fit.
Laravel is an open-source PHP framework that is utilised by some of the worlds biggest companies; like Disney, The New York Times, and Twitch.
It boasts an incredible amount of in-built features which let's our talented developers deliver projects quicker, helping us to achieve reliable results and projects at a high quality quickly.
Here are just a few of the biggest reasons why we utilise this amazing Framework for our bespoke web applications:
- Open-source: Any developer can contribute to adding new features or fixing bugs, so confidence in numbers is a real winner here.
- Stable and popular: Laravel is used by thousands of developers around the world. This means Pixel can always find more developers to work on our applications.
- Enterprise scale without complexity: A vast library of packages maintained by the Laravel team means confidence when we develop new features.
This is one of the best things about going with a custom solution: there is no real limit to what is achievable as we're not being held back by another company.
This has let Pixel achieve some great things with some of our clients like:
- Dynamically creating and sending shipping labels to sellers, with zero interaction from staff manging the platform
- Integrating with any desired payment partner, letting you decide which payment partner works best based on their fees.
- Supporting great custom functionality like:
- The ability to manage and edit all data within the platform with no constraints
- Seamlessly logging in as customers
- Entirely custom checkout flows with partner integrations like Klaviyo and Yotpo at every step of the way
Absolutely. This is something Pixel has done for a few clients in the past and a challenging project that we love to take on.
We've integrated ERP platforms with Shopify and Magento, allowing businesses to manage products, stock and inventory within their ERP, and have all of that data synced directly to their eCommerce store.
Boasting a two-way sync, seeing sales on Shopify sent directly to the ERP to let our clients execute the rest of their warehouse flow.
We'd love to hear more about your specific requirements, so get in touch with us and let's organise a coffee.
There is no set price for how much a custom web applicaiton costs as it depends on the needs of the business.
Custom solutions with more advanced features like direct integrations with shipping providers will always cost more than those without.
We've found the best way to keep costs low is to work out activites that you or your staff have to do on a daily basis, and look at how much it costs to automate that. This would mean you'll eventually recoup the initial investment and start turning a profit in time saved.
