Web development in Bath
You run software, publishing, hospitality or higher education in Bath. Your systems need to work under pressure, integrate with what you already use, and stay maintainable when we step back. We build applications designed for exactly that.
Web development for Bath businesses
Hubb Group is a digital agency and software company. Our studio is in Dubai and we work with UK clients remotely, on UK hours, with a named lead on every project. Contracts and invoices are issued by our UAE company, in pounds.
We measure success by: systems staying up under load, integration tests passing consistently, handover documentation being actually usable by your team, and your developers deploying updates independently within three months. We track uptime, response times, and error rates post-launch. No vague promises—real numbers your ops team can verify.
Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.
Sectors we work with in Bath

Applications built to integrate, not replace
Your team knows your workflows. You don't need us to reinvent them. We build custom portals, internal tools and integrations that sit alongside your existing setup—connecting the systems you already rely on, automating the manual steps that slow you down, and handing over to your in-house capability with complete documentation.
That means no rip-and-replace. No forcing your process into software that doesn't fit. Your operations keep running while we build the pieces you can't handle in-house, and the transition to full ownership is clean.
Reliability matters more than launch day
In Bath's hospitality and tourism sector, a down booking system costs revenue within minutes. Educational institutions need applications that handle semester peaks. Publishing workflows can't stall mid-cycle. We design for real load: tested performance, proper error handling, and architecture that doesn't degrade when traffic spikes.
You get transparent measurement. Uptime. Response times under load. We monitor what matters and fix it before it becomes a problem. When handover happens, your team inherits systems they can actually support, not a black box.
UK data, UK support, procurement-ready
UK buyers—especially in higher education and regulated sectors—need clarity on where data lives, who can access it, and what happens if something goes wrong. We keep data in the UK, document our security approach plainly, and support the compliance questions your procurement team will ask.
We don't make promises about audit trails or certifications we haven't actually earned. We tell you what we do, where the gaps are, and what you need to handle on your side. That honesty makes the procurement process faster.
Handover that leaves you independent
When we finish, you own the code, the documentation, and the ability to maintain it. No licensing surprises. No vendor lock-in disguised as 'support'. We write for your team's skill level and leave runbooks that actually work in practice, not theoretical guides.
Bath's software community is tight and skilled. We build applications your developers can read, modify and deploy themselves. You stay in control. If you need us again, that's a choice, not a necessity.
Web development in Bath — common questions
How do you handle applications that need to work during peak booking seasons?
We load-test against your actual traffic patterns and build for headroom. Database queries are optimised, caching strategies are deliberate, and infrastructure scales on demand. We measure response time and uptime continuously.
Will this replace systems we already use?
No. We build integrations and new tools that work alongside what you have. Your existing software stays in place. We automate the connections between systems and fill gaps your current tools can't cover.
What if your team leaves and we need to maintain this ourselves?
That's the whole point. We document code thoroughly, write for readability, and hand over runbooks for common tasks. Your developers should be able to fix bugs and deploy updates without calling us.
How do you approach data security in the UK procurement process?
We keep data in the UK, document exactly how access is controlled, and explain security trade-offs plainly. We don't claim certifications we haven't earned. Your procurement team gets straightforward answers, not marketing.
How long does a typical custom application take to build?
It depends entirely on scope. We start with a proper requirements conversation, give you a realistic timeline, and work in stages so you see progress. Rushing custom software creates debt. We build to your schedule, not a generic one.
What happens if we need changes after handover?
Your team can make small changes themselves using the documentation we leave. For larger work, you can hire developers locally or call us back. You're not trapped into a support contract with us.
