Web apps built around the way you work.
Custom web apps, client portals, dashboards and internal tools, designed around the people who use them daily and built on code you own.
Who it’s forFor the tools your business runs on.
A good fit if
- Your team runs on spreadsheets and email threads that are getting out of hand
- Your clients need a place to log in, check progress or download files
- You have a product idea and want a first version people can use
- An off-the-shelf tool almost fits, and your team keeps working around it
What’s includedProduct design · Custom development · Integrations & workflows
From the first call
to well after launch.
The exact scope goes in your proposal. Here’s what a typical project covers.
01 · Plan
How the work happens today
Workshops with the people who’ll use it
What they do each day, where it slows down and what matters most.
A first-version plan
The smallest useful version, written down with a price and timeline.
02 · Design
Screens designed around real tasks
Clickable prototypes
Try the key flows before anything is built, and tell us what feels wrong.
A small design system
Buttons, forms and tables that stay consistent as the app grows.
03 · Build
Built in steps you can try
Logins and roles
Who can see what, set up for your team and your clients.
Integrations

Regular demos
A working version to click through as each part lands.

ProcessFive steps
How a project runs,
start to finish.
At every stage you know what’s happening, what you’ll receive and what we need from you.
- 01Talk.
Brief and scope
It starts with a call about your business, your customers and what the site has to do. You then receive a written scope, a fixed price and a timeline.
- 02Design.
Structure, then design
Page plans and wireframes settle the structure. Full designs follow, and you review each stage before the next one starts.
- 03Build.
Build and test
The site is built and tested on phones, tablets and desktops. A live link lets you click through the real thing while it comes together.
- 04Launch.
Launch and handover
It goes live on your domain with old links redirected. Your team gets a walkthrough, and any ongoing support is agreed before launch.
- 05Support.
Support after launch
Need a fix, an update or a new page? It goes to the same people who built the site.
Web apps FAQ
Straight answers,
before you ask.
Something else on your mind? Email us and you’ll hear from the people who’d do the work.
hello@ortha.studioDo you build phone apps too?
We build web apps that work well on phones, and companion apps when a project needs one. We’ll tell you early if a web app will do the job.
Who owns the code?
You do. The code lives in a repository you own and the app runs on accounts in your name, so you’re never locked in.
Can you take over an app someone else built?
Often, yes. We’ll start with a short review of the code and tell you what we’d keep, fix or rebuild before you commit to anything.
