Got Web Application Questions?

  • How much do you charge for a web application?

    Every web application is different — some are super simple and others are incredibly complex. Others look simple AND are also incredibly complex.

    I’m interested in delivering a web application that will make a real difference to your business, so if you’re interested in that too, get in touch and let me know what problems your new web application needs to address. I’ll email you some possible solutions and let you know a guide price so that you can see if it fits your budget.

    If you know what you want your application to do, and you have a set budget to get it all done with, let me know and I’ll tell you if it’s possible or not.

  • Do you work for free?

    No — but I’m up for collaborations and trades. Got a service you think I’d benefit from? Or a project you think I could add value to that has some future upside?

  • What do you use to build web applications?

    I develop web applications using Laravel — it’s a fantastic open-source PHP Framework for building web applications. I code in VS Code and I use GitHub to store my repos. For local development, I use Herd.

  • What’s the difference between a website and a web application?

    A website communicates a message to its users. A web application is a special kind of website that provides a service to its users, sometimes for a fee.

    Websites and web applications have a lot in common. They are built with much of the same technologies, but their purposes are often different.

    Web applications generally provides a Customer with a digital service of some kind, and more often than not, Customers must register for an account in order to use the web application. Sometimes, they pay a fee/subscription for the service — you might recognise the acronym SaaS which stands for Software as a Service.

    Mailchimp is an example of a web application. You need to register for an account in order to use it and you can use an extended set of features if you pay a fee.

    Of course, much of the Mailchimp.com is accessible to everyone — those are the bits that market the services provided in its web application.

  • Do you code in ASP, .NET or C#?

    No, just PHP.

  • Do you code in PHP?

    Yes — I’ve been coding in PHP for over 20 years.

  • Do you know Javascript?

    Yes — I’ve been coding Javascript for over 25 years.

  • Can you help me add a DNS record?

    Yes. I can help with DNS. Though it’s rare for a client to start their relationship with this service alone.
