Web development in City of London
Your web application handles client data, integrates with existing systems, and has to pass compliance review before launch. We build applications designed for how the Square Mile actually works.
Web development for City of London 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 application performance: page load time, uptime under specified load, integration sync reliability, deployment frequency. For compliance-driven buyers, we track sign-off time and documentation completeness. Handover success means your team can maintain and update the system without us.
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.

Built for regulated environments from the start
Financial services, insurance brokers, legal firms—anything client-facing gets a compliance sign-off before it goes live. We build applications knowing that review cycle is part of your timeline, not an obstacle added at the end. The structure of the code, the audit trail, the data handling—we design it so your compliance team can verify what they need to verify, quickly.
We've worked with regulated businesses long enough to know that 'we'll sort compliance later' becomes a project delay. Documentation is clear. Access controls are logged. Data location and retention are baked in from the start. Your sign-off happens on schedule because the application was built to meet that requirement.
Integration with systems you rely on, not replacement of them
You already use core systems—portfolio management platforms, CRM software, reporting tools. Your new application needs to sit alongside them, pull data cleanly, and stay in sync. We build the connectors and APIs that let your stack work as one system. No rip-and-replace. No legacy data trapped in silos.
Integration work is where poor planning shows. We map your existing flows, agree data formats with your teams, and test edge cases before handover. The application talks to what you've already built. It handles the load when your team grows. It stays maintainable when we're not in the room.
Reliability under the loads that matter to you
Day-end reconciliation. Month-end closing. Quarterly reporting. Peak times in your business create peak loads on your systems. An application that works fine at three people suddenly creaks at thirty. We design for the real load your application will carry, then build monitoring so you know when something needs attention.
When it does need attention, we hand over complete documentation. Architecture diagrams. Deployment procedures. Troubleshooting guides. Your team or another agency can pick it up and maintain it. That's what handover actually means to us—you own a system you can run.
Procurement and data governance in the specification
UK procurement asks about data location, support cover, and continuity. These are not add-ons or afterthoughts. Where your data lives, how it moves, who can access it—these shape the application design. We specify them upfront so your procurement team has concrete answers before the formal process starts.
Support cover depends on what you need. Some teams maintain the application in-house after handover. Others need a support retainer. We clarify that early and cost it accordingly. No surprise escalations. No undefined responsibilities. Your application is clear to operate from the moment you take ownership.
Everything we deliver includes
Fixed prices
A clear quote and timeline up front — no open-ended retainers, no surprises.

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 City of London — common questions
How does compliance review fit into your timeline?
We build with compliance requirements visible in the code, not hidden. Documentation is audit-ready. Your review process is part of the schedule we agree upfront, not bolted on at the end. Sign-off happens faster because we've designed for it.
What happens if we need to switch hosting provider later?
The application is not locked into a single provider. We document infrastructure requirements clearly. Your data and code remain portable. If you need to move, the application can move with you.
Can this integrate with our existing CRM and reporting systems?
Yes. We map your current systems, build the necessary APIs and data connectors, and test integrations thoroughly. The new application sits alongside what you already use, not instead of it.
What support cover do you offer after handover?
That depends on your needs and risk profile. Some teams maintain it internally. Others prefer a retainer for ongoing support and updates. We agree this with you upfront and cost it transparently.
Do you guarantee search rankings or specific traffic volumes?
No. We build applications that are fast, reliable, and compliant. We measure performance by how your users experience the system and whether it meets the load you specified.
Where is my data stored and can I choose?
Yes. Data location is part of your specification, not our choice. We work with your procurement and compliance requirements. If you need data in the UK, on a specific provider, or under certain governance rules, we make that explicit in the build.
