Web development in King's Cross
You're building something that has to work inside strict approval chains and integrate with systems already running. We build custom web applications designed for how King's Cross actually operates—reliable, documented, ready to hand over.
Web development for King's Cross 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 the way you do: application uptime, integration reliability, error rates under real load, and deployment safety. Before launch, load testing validates the application against volumes you actually process. Post-launch monitoring tracks performance against the same metrics. All reporting is transparent so you know exactly what you're running.
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 your approval process
King's Cross houses some of the country's most technically rigorous organisations. Google, the Francis Crick Institute, central Saint Martins—they all run procurement that demands transparency. Your web application needs to pass that scrutiny. We build with compliance checkpoints built in from specification, not bolted on afterwards. Data governance, security review, architectural decisions—all documented so your approval chain can see how it works.
We've worked with teams where the buyer knows the difference between solid engineering and surface shine. They ask the right questions about load testing, fallback paths, and what happens when a third-party system goes offline. We answer clearly because the work stands up to that kind of inspection.
Integration without starting from scratch
You already run Salesforce, bespoke financial systems, research databases, HR platforms—sometimes all of them in concert. A new web application has to talk to what you've got without forcing a rebuild. We write the connectors, map the data flows, and test handshake points under realistic load so you know it works before it goes live.
The application we deliver isn't a replacement for your existing stack. It's the piece that sits between them, orchestrating data flow and reducing manual work. Handover documentation describes exactly how those connections work, so your team can maintain or extend it.
Staffing that moves across London
King's Cross pulls technical talent from everywhere in London. Your team might live in Islington or Croydon or Bethnal Green, but they work here because the projects demand depth. That geography matters for how we work. We build applications your team can understand, maintain, or hand to another contractor without a knowledge gap. Code is commented. Architecture is mapped. Dependencies are listed.
You might also need support beyond launch. We offer ongoing cover: monitoring the application for runtime issues, managing updates to third-party integrations, and responding when something needs attention. We're clear about what's included and what sits outside the boundary so procurement knows what they're paying for.
Measurement that matches your world
You don't measure success by vanity metrics. You measure whether the application processes transactions without failure, whether integrations stay in sync, whether your team can deploy updates without breaking something downstream. We monitor the same things: error rates, response time under load, integration health, uptime.
Before launch, we load-test against the volumes you actually run. Not theoretical maximums—the real numbers. You get a report that tells you how the application performed, where the bottlenecks were, and what happens if load doubles. That report goes into your sign-off pack so everyone involved knows what they're approving.
Web development in King's Cross — common questions
Do you support applications after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing support packages that cover monitoring, bug fixes, and managing integrations with third-party systems. We're clear about response times and what's included so procurement can plan. Support sits outside the platform—we discuss coverage and pricing separately.
Where is the application hosted and where does data live?
That's specified in your requirements, not ours. We build for cloud, on-premise, or hybrid setups depending on your data governance rules. Hosting location and data residency are part of the contract negotiation, not an afterthought.
Will it integrate with our existing systems?
That depends on what you're running and what those systems expose. We audit your stack early, map the data flows, and identify integration points. If direct connection isn't possible, we design workarounds. Everything is documented in the specification so you know what's feasible.
What happens if you need to hand over to another agency?
The documentation is yours. Code comments, architecture diagrams, deployment procedures, integration maps—everything an incoming team would need to pick up and maintain or extend. Handover clarity matters because you control the contract, not us.
How do you handle load testing before launch?
We test against the transaction volumes you actually run, not theoretical peaks. You get a detailed report showing how the application performed, where bottlenecks appeared, and how it behaves under stress. That report feeds into your approval chain.
Is this quicker or cheaper than building in-house?
That's not a comparison we make. You commission custom work when you need capability you don't have in-house or capacity you can't dial up quickly. We're efficient because that's how we work, but the real value is getting it right and documented so it integrates cleanly with what you already run.
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.
