Software Development
Off-the-shelf software forces your business to work the way the software wants. Custom software works the way you want. Bigcrea designs and builds web applications, internal business systems, customer portals, APIs and SaaS products for companies across Bournemouth, Poole and the UK.
We are product people as well as programmers - we build and run our own SaaS website platforms, so we understand reliability, security and support from the operator's side, not just the developer's side.
What we build
Customer & client portals
Booking, ordering & payment systems
Business process automation
REST APIs & third-party integrations
Database design & reporting dashboards
Legacy system modernisation
Technology you can maintain
We build on proven, widely-supported technology - PHP/Laravel, JavaScript, MySQL and modern cloud hosting - so you are never locked in to a single developer. Code is documented, version-controlled and handed over properly.
Fixed-price or agile: smaller projects are quoted at a fixed price with clear milestones; larger products can run as agile sprints with a monthly budget you control.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much does custom software cost?
Small tools and integrations start from around £1,500. Typical business applications range from £5,000 to £25,000 depending on scope. We always start with a free scoping call and a fixed written quote.

Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. Every project includes a warranty period, and we offer ongoing support and maintenance plans with agreed response times.

You do. On final payment, the full source code and intellectual property are transferred to your business.

Can you take over an existing project from another developer?
Yes - we regularly rescue and modernise systems built by others. We start with a code audit and give you an honest assessment before any commitment.
