Web development in Cardiff
You run broadcast, public bodies, events or services across Cardiff. Your web application needs to integrate with systems already in place, perform when demand peaks, and come with documentation your team can actually use.
Web development for Cardiff 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 against what you agreed at the start: response times under specified load, integration test coverage, uptime during operation, and whether your team can maintain the application after handover. You get monitoring dashboards, incident logs and performance reports. The work is judged by whether it stays reliable when your users depend on it, not by marketing claims.
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.

Applications built for how Cardiff's sectors work
Cardiff's media production teams, public bodies and events operators run complex workflows. Off-the-shelf software doesn't fit how you work. We build custom web applications that slot into your existing systems—whether that's broadcast scheduling, citizen services, ticketing infrastructure or internal tools. Your application works the way your business does, not the other way round.
We've built applications for regulated environments where compliance is non-negotiable and for event-driven demand that spikes without warning. The work has to be right. Your buyers—commissioners, cabinet members, event stakeholders—judge the quality before they commit. We build applications that hold up to that scrutiny.
Built to stay reliable when it matters
A broadcast portal that goes down mid-transmission. A public-sector service that fails during peak usage. An events system that can't handle ticket sales. These aren't acceptable. We design and test applications under real conditions—real traffic, real data, real workflows. The code is clean. The architecture is sound. It handles what you'll actually throw at it.
We don't cut corners on performance or stability. That means proper load testing before handover, caching where it counts, and monitoring that catches problems before your users do. When your application matters to your reputation, it can't be fragile.
Integration with systems you already run
You've got databases, legacy systems, third-party platforms and internal tools already in place. A new web application should work alongside them, not replace them all at once. We integrate with what you've got—APIs, databases, authentication systems, reporting tools. Your data stays where it needs to be. You keep using the systems your team knows.
Integration isn't an add-on we rush through. It's part of the design from the start. We map your existing architecture, identify the handshake points, and build applications that talk to your systems reliably. This is how you avoid costly rework and reduce training burden on your team.
Handover documentation and UK support
When we finish, your team owns the application. That means proper documentation—architecture guides, deployment instructions, code comments, runbooks for common problems. Not a folder of half-finished notes. Not a knowledge dump only the original developer can interpret. Documentation your team can actually use to run, maintain and extend the application themselves.
UK-based support is standard. Your data stays in the UK. Your contracts are straightforward. If you need to understand compliance, support cover, or data residency—the things procurement teams ask about—we give you clear answers. Public bodies expect this. We deliver it.
Everything we deliver includes
Fixed prices
A clear quote and timeline up front — no open-ended retainers, no surprises.
A named lead
One person who knows the project, on UK hours, not a ticket queue.
Documented handover
Source, environment notes and runbook, so another developer can pick it up cold.
Integrations that hold
Built against the systems you already run, with sensible behaviour when they fail.
Tested under load
Performance budgets agreed up front and checked before launch, not after.
Your repository
Code in your organisation from the first commit, not transferred at the end.
Web development in Cardiff — common questions
Do you handle Welsh-language requirements for public-sector applications?
Yes. We build applications that meet Welsh Language Standards for public bodies. That includes interface localisation, content management that supports both languages, and testing with Welsh-language workflows from the start, not as an afterthought.
How do you handle integration with legacy systems we can't replace?
We map your existing stack first. Integration points get defined before any code is written. We use APIs, database connections, or middleware as appropriate. Your legacy system stays in place and works alongside the new application.
Can you work to UK procurement timelines and contract terms?
Yes. We work to Cabinet Office standards, produce proper SOWs, and comply with UK public procurement requirements. We understand what public bodies need on specification, timeline and compliance documentation.
What happens when demand spikes—like a ticket release or service surge?
We design and test for real peak load before handover. That means load testing with realistic scenarios, caching strategy, database optimisation and monitoring. The application stays responsive when your users are heaviest.
How do you measure whether the application works?
We agree on metrics upfront: response times under load, integration test coverage, uptime targets during operation, and documentation completeness. We test against these before handover and provide monitoring tools so you can measure ongoing performance.
Can you hand over the application so our team can maintain it?
That's the aim. We provide architecture documentation, deployment guides, code walkthroughs and support during transition. Your team should be able to deploy updates, troubleshoot issues and extend features without needing us for every change.
