Website Development

Website development has become quite a broad term. So, when we say website development, what do we mean? We primarily concentrate on computer programming.  The logic that happens in the cloud (the back-end), as well as the functionality in your browser (the front-end). We do website design too - but aimed at designing for web application and the user experience surrounding the software (UI / UX design).

Software has evolved dramatically since its inception, and, in the last decade, we have seen a drastic shift from desktop-based applications to cloud-based web applications. The browser is now the number one tool required to access your software, from word processing, to accounting, to photo, and now even video editing.

Do you need website development for your application? Let's talk.

We use the following languages.

Javascript

We use Javascript to run both front-end and back-end, including jQuery, Vue JS and NodeJS.

PHP

PHP is a popular server-side language.  We primarily use the Laravel framework.

MySQL

MySql is a relational database management system based on SQL.

How we make superb Web Apps

Taking your idea, and making it into a reality.

From Idea, All The Way To release

We take your idea right from concept all the way to delivery and beyond.

From even just a sketch on a napkin, together, we can flesh out your concept into a full-fledge project plan and then onto reality.

We not only follow through to delivery - but beyond, so you can concentrate on running your business while we continue to work the engineering.

Responsive, Fast and Scalable

Nobody likes a slow app! If not well designed at an architectural level, many applications become slow and sluggish as more data is stored, and more users come to use it.

We focus on the long term. This includes planning from an architectural design to make not only efficient software on the infrastructure it is run from, but also scalable cloud-based infrastructure so your application is always snappy, and ultimately leading to higher user engagement.

Beautiful And Functional

We love a user interface that not only looks beautiful but is functional. We believe good user experience is essential in every application, whether it's an internal enterprise-based solution or a commercial software product.

We endeavour to design a highly engaging, functional user interfaces that lead to the very best user experience for your application.

Optimise and Maintain

Once released, your product still requires regular maintenance and ongoing support. Rest assured that Urban Lightbulb will be right there providing both of these.

From both your provided user feedback and our monitoring of your application, we'll recommend areas that can be further improved and features that can also enhance your user's experience.

We are your partners for success, in for the long haul.

Developed in Cycles

We work in an agile manner - breaking software development into multiple bite-sized features that can be worked into a single development iteration.

The iteration cycle includes everything from planning, designing, coding and testing.  

Depending on the nature of the project, iterations may be released individually, or collectively with several other iterations for a single release.  

This allows for rapid, continuous development and release.

Our Process

Concept

From even just a sketch on a napkin, together, we can flesh out your ideas into a well thought out and researched concept.

Roadmap & Quote

We'll work with you to work out what the minimum requirements are for your app to launch, costs and timeline. Then map out how features may fit in.

Plan & Design

We'll start the first development iteration - each iteration is planned out, challenges identified and user interface designed with wireframes.

Develop & Test

Where reality happens, as each iteration cycle is completed, you will be able to preview and see your application come to life.

Release & Maintain

As each release is completed, we deploy your application into production.  We then enter maintenance, monitoring and support.  Next development phase starts.
