Edinburgh web app development FAQ
How much does web app development cost in Edinburgh?
Web app development in Edinburgh starts from £10,000. Edinburgh's fintech and university spinout ecosystem often demands more sophisticated platforms — SaaS products and compliance-aware tools typically cost £25,000–£50,000. We work with Scottish businesses fully remotely with the same quality standard as our London work, at the same fixed price.
Do you build fintech or university spinout web platforms for Edinburgh clients?
Yes. Edinburgh is one of the UK's most active fintech hubs and a leading university city. We have experience building FCA-adjacent financial tools and taking research proof-of-concept into market-ready web products. Fixed-price, full source code ownership, no vendor lock-in.
Web app or mobile app — which should I build first?
For internal tools and B2B platforms: web app first — easier to update, no App Store approval, accessible from any browser. For consumer products where engagement and offline access matter: mobile app first. Many businesses start with a web app MVP, then add a mobile layer. We can advise based on your specific users and use case.
Can you integrate with our existing CRM, ERP or other systems?
Yes — integration work is a core part of most projects. We map your existing systems during the free discovery session and factor all integration complexity into the fixed-price scope. We've integrated with Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP, Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, Twilio and many bespoke internal APIs.
Do you handle hosting, domain and ongoing infrastructure?
Yes — we set up and configure cloud hosting as part of the project. Post-launch we can continue managing infrastructure or hand it over to your team with full documentation. Ongoing hosting costs (AWS/GCP/Azure) are separate to our development fee and typically £100–£500/month depending on scale.
Do I own the source code?
100% ownership of all source code, documentation and intellectual property transfers to you on project completion. Git repository access is provided from day one. You can take development to another team at any point — zero lock-in.
