The business behind bespoke software development

Bespoke software development - whether it is for the web or for an application - is all about you: your vision, your ideas or your needs.

The first thing to do is ask yourself the question – What do you want to be able to do?  

Once you've answered this by listing your needs and requirements then you need to find a suitable software developer.

Coming up with bespoke solutions to your problems is just as much about understanding your business requirements as well as your technological needs.


The best application and web development companies will help you with both the technological and business sides of your ideas.

You need this dual input because there's no point someone creating a wonderful piece of technology which automates your workflow or back-end systems unless it's actually going to improve the way you operate.


Too many companies will approach your specific problem from a purely technical point of view.

What you really need is someone who looks at your business first and then moulds the technology to meet your needs second rather than the other way around. 

You also need to make sure that the application you end up with is easy to use as too many systems don't take the user into account.

What's the point of having a brand new system if it takes a doorstep-sized instruction manual to work out how to use it.

Good bespoke development should produce a system which not only solves an existing problem - or set or problems - but it should also do it in an intuitive way which you and your business can understand.
