Sometimes the tool you need does not exist yet. Off the shelf software almost fits but not quite. Spreadsheets are holding together a process that has outgrown them. Your team needs something built specifically for how your business works.
Solve Studio builds full stack web applications for startups and SMEs in Brighton, London and across the UK. From internal tools that streamline operations to customer facing platforms that generate revenue, we build software that fits your business and scales with it.
What We Build
We build the kinds of applications that growing businesses actually need. Customer portals where clients can manage their accounts, track orders and access documents. Internal dashboards that give your team a single view of the data that matters. SaaS products that turn your domain expertise into a scalable business. Booking and scheduling systems tailored to your workflow. Data collection and reporting tools that replace fragile spreadsheet processes.
Every application we build is responsive, fast and designed for real users. We focus on clear interfaces that people can use without training because software that sits unused is software that was wasted.
Our Technology
We build with Next.js and React for the frontend because they deliver fast, responsive user experiences. Supabase and PostgreSQL handle data storage with built in authentication and real time capabilities. Node.js powers backend services and API integrations. We deploy to modern hosting platforms that handle scaling automatically.
This stack is deliberately chosen for startups and SMEs. It is fast to develop with, cost effective to host, and has a large community of developers so you are never locked into us as your only option for future development.
Who This Is For
Founders building a product for the first time. Established businesses replacing spreadsheet processes with proper software. SMEs that need an internal tool no vendor sells. Companies launching customer facing platforms. If you need a web application built properly with code you own and can extend, we are the team for that.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a website and a web application?
A website displays information. A web application lets users do things. If people need to log in, submit data, manage records, process transactions or interact with a system, that is a web application. Think of it as software that runs in a browser rather than being installed on a computer.
How long does it take to build a web application?
A straightforward web application typically takes 6 to 16 weeks. Complex applications with multiple user roles, integrations and advanced features can take 3 to 6 months. We work in short development cycles so you see progress every week and can give feedback throughout.
What technology do you build web applications with?
We build primarily with Next.js and React for the frontend, Supabase or PostgreSQL for the database, and Node.js for backend services. This stack is fast to develop with, performs well at scale and has excellent community support. We also integrate with APIs from services like Stripe, GoCardless, OpenAI, Anthropic and others as needed.
How much does web application development cost in the UK?
Web application development in the UK typically ranges from 10,000 to 80,000 pounds depending on complexity. A focused internal tool might cost 10,000 to 25,000 pounds. A customer facing SaaS application with authentication, payments and integrations could range from 30,000 to 80,000 pounds. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific requirements.
