Web apps
Useful tools, built into your digital experience
Sometimes your website needs to do more than explain who you are. It needs to help people book, search, calculate, compare, manage, submit, track, learn or interact with your organisation in a more useful way.
How we can help your business
We design and build highly functional web apps that can sit within your website or operate as a more bespoke digital platform. From user portals and dashboards to calculators, directories, booking systems, resource hubs, data tools and custom workflows, we create digital tools that make your website work harder for your users and your team.
Our work
Functionality & Laravel. The perfect match.
For more advanced functionality, we often use Laravel frameworks to give the application stronger foundations, cleaner logic and more room to scale. But the technology is never the starting point. The starting point is what the tool needs to do, who needs to use it and how it can support your organisation.
Whether it is a small interactive feature or a fully bespoke web application, we can help turn a useful idea into something clear, functional and built to last.
Web app FAQ's
Can you build a more advanced platform for a tech business?
Yes. For more complex requirements, Laravel and Statamic can provide a strong foundation for digital platforms, resource hubs, dashboards, user portals, API integrations, advanced search and bespoke functionality. This is useful when your website needs to do more than present information.
Can you design an app without building it?
Yes. We can design apps, SaaS platforms, dashboards, portals and digital products even if another development team is building them. We can create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, UI systems and development-ready screens.
Can you design the interface for an app, dashboard or SaaS platform?
Yes. We can create user journeys, wireframes, prototypes, UI systems and development-ready screens for apps, dashboards, portals and SaaS products. If you already have developers, we can provide the design system and interface files they need to build from.
Do you offer AI features in websites or digital platforms?
Yes, where it makes sense.
For some websites and digital platforms, AI can be useful as a feature, such as improved site search, content discovery, chat-based support, internal tools, automation or smarter ways to navigate large amounts of information. If AI functionality is right for your project, we can explore how it should work, what data it needs, what risks need managing and how it can be built into the wider user experience.
Do you use AI in web development?
We may use AI to help troubleshoot technical problems, explore development approaches, improve efficiency or support internal problem-solving. However, our developers remain responsible for the code, structure, testing and final implementation. We do not blindly copy AI-generated code into client projects. Any technical work is reviewed, tested and integrated properly by our team.
How long does a Laravel project take?
Laravel projects vary depending on the scale and technical requirements. A smaller Laravel or Statamic website may take a few months, while a larger platform with bespoke functionality, portals, dashboards, integrations, complex content or advanced user journeys can take six to nine months or more.
Laravel projects benefit from proper planning because the platform is usually built around specific business requirements rather than a standard website structure.
How much does a Laravel website cost?
Laravel projects usually start from around £6,500. For larger digital platforms, costs can range much higher depending on the technical structure, functionality and scale of the project. A Laravel and Statamic platform with complex content, APIs, dashboards, user portals, advanced search, integrations or bespoke functionality could range from £20,000 to £100,000+ for more enterprise-level requirements.
Laravel is best suited to ambitious projects where the website needs to do more than behave like a standard brochure site.
What does Think Creative do?
Think Creative is a digital and creative agency that brings strategy, design, development and production together. We help organisations with branding, websites, Laravel platforms, WordPress websites, graphic design, animation, web apps, artwork and ongoing creative support.
What is a web app?
A web app is a digital tool that helps users do something, not just read something. It might help people search, book, calculate, compare, submit, manage, track or interact. Examples include dashboards, portals, directories, calculators, booking tools and resource hubs.
What is Laravel development?
Laravel development is used to build more bespoke websites, web apps and digital platforms. It is useful when a website needs to do more than publish pages, such as managing complex content, user portals, dashboards, integrations, APIs, advanced search or custom workflows.
When would a community or education organisation need Laravel?
Laravel may be a better fit when the site needs larger content structures, portals, directories, resource libraries, booking systems, gated content, integrations or more complex user journeys. It gives the organisation a stronger foundation while still allowing a familiar CMS experience through Statamic.
Why do Laravel websites cost more than WordPress websites?
Laravel websites usually involve more bespoke planning, development and technical structure. WordPress is often a strong fit for content-led websites, brochure sites and manageable CMS builds. Laravel is better suited to larger or more complex platforms where the site needs custom functionality, integrations, dashboards, portals, advanced content structures or more scalable architecture.
The additional cost usually reflects the extra thinking, design, development, testing and flexibility required to build something around the organisation’s specific needs.
