Creating software for web and mobile devices. Speak to us about creating and developing an applicatio client
Our methodologies always start with “your” idea.

Just Applications provides custom built software built to your specification. We understand that different businesses need different requirements and that off the shelf software is not suited to everyone. We are experts in database modelling and several key software programming languages offering you the client value for money in terms of quality and experience. Applying cutting edge technologies:

Modeling Tools: Design and development of the Software framework using UML (Unified Modeling Language tool)
Mapping Tools: Allowing for the connection from relationship databases to object and applications using object relational mapping technology. Migration Work: Customised routines to enable the migration of data between relational databases. Industry Standard ProtocolsApproach

With a team of 80 strong software developers and 12 designers we can turn your ideas into visual reality. We develop projects for other design or software companies offering a “shadow-service” team with expertise within your client’s budget. Any NDA agreements are honoured and as such examples do not get shown on our portfolio page. We can work from a simple one-page story board right through to the coding, design and final testing. We pride ourselves on delivering projects in the time frame specified when the work has been agreed. We have built stand-alone applications of which funds the Just Applications team enabling us to take on many projects. Whether it be visually or written from there we can build a project road map around the design and development to turn your idea into reality. design
Once the questions have been answered we can put together a specification which we refer to as the “work statement” which assures you the client what will be delivered. We will identify the programming resources required and the level of skill. A team will be put together with an accompanying project manager providing you with weekly updates. project_management
Using a combination of project management techniques coupled with “sprints” you will get weekly feedback to your project and a test environment to ensure the “work statement” is meeting the objectives and priorities in order to meet the next sprint. This methodology ensures the application does what it’s supposed to do and bugs are eliminated along the way. LOVE OUR WORK? Award Winning, 10 years in business, UK Based, Custom App Development. Building Mobile Applications for iPhone, iPad, Android devices, the web and desktop. With over 80 experienced developers we provide Initial Specification, Costings, Proof of Concept, Planning & Design through to Project Management and Deliverables along with Testing and Validation.

When Paul and I kicked off the Ctrl Alt Dev podcast over a pint at the Old Joint Stock, we made one promise:

🎯 Just get a little better each time. No fluff. No buzzwords. Just the real stuff we’ve learned building software (and companies) the hard way.

🎙️ Episode 2 is live!
“Would You Build a House Without Plans? Then Don’t Build Software Without This.”

This one’s all about the before — what needs to happen before a single line of code is written:

🚨 Why “free quotes” often end up costing you more
📐 The moment we changed how we price and scope projects
🧠 How discovery saves time, money, and sanity
🔥 And how founders (like us) can finally stop firefighting every week

Honestly — recording Ctrl Alt Dev with Paul has been a blast. It’s just two tech founders talking shop, sharing behind-the-scenes stories about software, AI, and running a digital business without the usual waffle.

If you’re running a business, working with developers, or thinking of building an app — this episode could save you a lot of stress.

Thanks to everyone who’s listened so far — your feedback means a lot 🙌
Episode 8 is already in the works… we’re just getting warmed up!

🎙️ When Paul and I started Ctrl Alt Dev, our goal was simple — to share the highs, lows, and lessons from building software businesses for over 10 years.

We're not natural storytellers (we’ll admit that!), and while we’re no strangers to networking or public speaking, creating engaging weekly podcast episodes is definitely new territory for us.

But we’re embracing the journey — nerves and all 😉 — aiming to be just 1% better each time. No chasing perfection. Just consistent progress and a lot of laughs along the way.

🚨 Episode 2 is live:
“Would You Build a House Without Plans? Then Don’t Build Software Without This.”

In this one, we dig into:

Why free quotes often cost you more in the long run

The moment that completely changed how we scope projects

How proper discovery saves time, money, and everyone's sanity

Honestly? Recording Ctrl Alt Dev has been one of the most fun things I’ve done in ages. It’s just two founders having the kinds of chats we wish we’d had when we started.

A massive thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, or messaged us — your support means everything 🙏

📈 Episode 50 feels a long way off… but we’re on our way (only 48 to go!).

Another successful night at the data centre! 💪

Our team carried out a major server update, and we’re happy to report that it didn’t impact any of our software applications—JustShipIT, Ad-Lister, and NVENTREE—at all. 🙌 No redundancy needed, no downtime, and not a single hiccup! ✅

That means our systems stayed fully operational, continuing to support eCommerce operations on platforms like eBay, Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok, while keeping order updates flowing smoothly to couriers like DHL, Parcelforce, and Royal Mail. 📦💨

A massive thank you to our on-site crew for their dedication and expertise in keeping everything running seamlessly—making sure our clients experienced zero disruptions. 💻👏 Now, it’s time to head home and get some well-earned rest!

According to a recent report, over 46% of companies have had at least one employee download a mobile application with some security issues.
