Web development in Edinburgh
Financial services firms, asset managers and fintechs in Edinburgh need web applications that work under pressure, integrate with legacy systems, and pass compliance review. We build them to last.
Web development for Edinburgh 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 through uptime logs, load-test results, and compliance review sign-off. You track performance metrics — response times under load, error rates, integration success rates — from go-live onwards. Maintenance tickets and change logs show how easily your team can modify the system after handover.
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.

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.
Applications built for regulated environments
Edinburgh's financial centre runs on systems that cannot fail. Your web application sits alongside banking platforms, pension administration tools and trading infrastructure. It needs to perform reliably when markets move, handle regulatory audits, and integrate cleanly with what you already have. We build custom applications with that reality in mind — not templated solutions bolted on top.
Compliance teams review your code paths, data handling and access controls before go-live. That review is easier when the application is built with maintainability first. We document the architecture, log decision points, and hand over code that your team can modify and defend under scrutiny. Your legal and compliance functions get confidence, not headaches.
Integration that actually works
Your organisation already runs multiple systems — some cloud-based, some older and on-premise. A web application that ignores that reality creates friction and manual workarounds. We map your existing infrastructure, build APIs that sit between systems cleanly, and test handoff points thoroughly. The result is a single application your users trust, not a fragile chain of poorly connected tools.
When we hand over the application, your development team can modify it. We document the integration points, the data flows, and the failure scenarios. You are not locked into a vendor or a single contractor — you own the system and can maintain it with your own staff.
Performance when it counts
Festival season brings millions of visitors to Edinburgh. If you run a portal or ticketing system, traffic spikes are not theoretical — they happen every August. We build applications that handle load without degenerating. Database queries are tuned, code is optimised, and infrastructure scales when demand peaks. Your users experience consistent performance, not timeouts and errors.
Load testing happens before you go live. We measure response times under realistic traffic volumes, identify bottlenecks, and fix them. You do not discover performance problems when your peak day arrives.
Handover and long-term ownership
The application we build is yours to run and evolve. We provide comprehensive documentation of the codebase, the deployment process, and the architectural decisions. Your team receives a walkthrough of the systems and the rationale behind them. You can add features, fix bugs, and upgrade dependencies without calling us back.
We work with your procurement and legal teams on contract terms that reflect Scottish law and regulated-sector requirements. Support arrangements, data location, code ownership and liability are agreed upfront. No surprises when go-live approaches.
Web development in Edinburgh — common questions
How do you handle Scottish law and procurement requirements?
We work with your legal and procurement teams from the start. Contracts, data processing terms, and liability are drafted to reflect Scottish law and regulated-sector standards. We clarify support arrangements and data location early so compliance review moves faster.
What happens if we need to modify the application after launch?
You own the code and the documentation. Your development team can make changes independently. We hand over clear guidance on the codebase structure, deployment process, and key architectural decisions so modifications are straightforward.
How do you ensure the application integrates with our existing systems?
We audit your current infrastructure early, identify integration points, and build APIs that connect cleanly. We test handoffs between systems thoroughly and document data flows. You avoid manual workarounds and fragile chains of disconnected tools.
Can the application handle peaks in traffic?
Yes. We load-test before go-live to measure performance under realistic volumes. Database queries are optimised, infrastructure scales on demand, and we identify bottlenecks before you go live. Consistent performance, not degradation under load.
Does the application need to pass compliance review?
Yes, and that shapes how we build it. We document code paths, data handling and access controls clearly so your compliance team can review them quickly. The application is built for audit, not just for speed.
What support do you provide after launch?
That depends on your contract. We clarify support options — response times, availability windows, and scope — upfront during procurement. Your team owns the system; support arrangements are negotiated to match your needs.
