Web development in Wigan
Wigan's distributors and manufacturers move fast and can't afford downtime. We build custom web applications that integrate with your existing systems, handle peak order volume, and come with documentation your team can actually use.
Web development for Wigan 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.
Success is measured by uptime in production, integration completeness, and whether your team can support the application afterward. We track load testing results, deployment success rate, and post-handover independence. You should see zero surprises after day one. Handover quality is proven when your team successfully maintains the application without calling 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.

Applications built for distribution and production
Your operation runs on tight margins and tighter schedules. You need web tools that sit inside your existing kit—ERP, warehouse management, inventory tracking—without creating new problems. We build custom applications and internal portals that work alongside what you've already got, handle the load when orders spike, and don't require constant hand-holding.
Peak season shouldn't mean crossing your fingers. Our applications are built for the real environment they'll run in: multiple concurrent users, high transaction volumes, integrations that actually sync. Testing happens under load, not after launch. Your customers elsewhere in the country see reliability. Your team sees systems that work.
Integration that works with what you run
You've invested in systems that do their job. A new web application shouldn't mean ripping that out or bolting on workarounds. We build integrations that connect your existing platforms—accounting software, stock control, order management—into a single workflow. Data moves between systems cleanly. Your team doesn't have to manually push information between tools.
The applications we build interact with what you've already bought. They respect your data location requirements (important for UK procurement). They use APIs that are stable and documented. When we hand over, your technical team can see exactly how the integration works, modify it if business needs change, and support it without us.
Handover that your team can action
When the project finishes, we don't disappear. You get documentation: architecture guides, deployment procedures, how the application connects to your other systems, common issues and how to fix them. Not a 400-page manual. Clear, structured guidance that a developer or technical lead in your business can actually read and use.
Support for your live application sits outside this project. But you'll know how it works, why it was built that way, and what to do if something breaks. Your team owns the code. We've simply made sure they can maintain it.
What UK procurement needs to verify
Procurement teams in Wigan and across Greater Manchester know what questions to ask. Where does data sit? (Usually UK-based for compliance). What's the support arrangement? (Typically a retainer or as-needed, your choice). Is the application tested for the load you'll actually put it under? (Yes, and we show you the results.) Can your internal team support it? (Yes, the documentation is built so they can.)
We answer those questions straight. No marketing noise. Your procurement team gets the assurance they need because the application is genuinely built that way—not because we've said it is.
Web development in Wigan — common questions
Will this application work if we're processing peak order volume from three different customer portals at the same time?
Yes. We test under realistic load before handover. You'll have test results showing how many concurrent users and transactions the application handles. We also document what happens if load exceeds that, so your team knows when to plan scaling.
Can you integrate this with our existing ERP and warehouse management system?
Usually, yes. We'll assess your current systems and how the new application needs to talk to them. If your ERP uses a standard API or database connector, integration is straightforward. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that upfront rather than promise something we can't deliver.
What happens after you hand over the application? Do we need ongoing support from you?
That's your choice. Some teams want a retainer for support and updates. Others maintain it internally with occasional input from us. Handover documentation is written so your team can do basic troubleshooting and updates themselves. We'll agree the arrangement before the project ends.
Where will our data be stored? Procurement is asking.
Typically UK-based. We'll confirm the exact location and compliance framework (GDPR, etc.) before development starts. Your procurement team gets a data location statement to pass to their compliance checklist. This is standard for UK-regulated suppliers.
How do we know the application actually works under the conditions we run it in?
We test it under realistic load before handover. You see the results: how many users, transaction volumes, response times. We also document what the maximum safe load is, so you know when you need to plan upgrades or scaling. That's your proof it works.
Will we understand the code when you hand it over, or is this a black box?
You'll understand it. Documentation covers the architecture, how different parts connect, and why decisions were made. Code is written to be readable. Your technical team reviews it during handover and confirms they can maintain it. We don't handover anything your team can't support.
