SpanGuild develops custom web applications for businesses and founders who need more than a standard website, such as a customer portal, an internal dashboard or a new software product.
Software shaped to your work
Build an application around your requirements, not the other way around. We start with the task you want someone to complete and define the first version from there.

What does your application need to do?
A useful starting point is a single task. Perhaps a customer needs to access account information. A team member needs to update a record. Or a manager needs an organised view of ongoing work. We define those tasks before deciding how the application should fit together.
Which kinds of application can we discuss?
- Customer portals: a dedicated place for customers to access agreed information, submit requests or interact with your service
- Internal business tools: a focused interface for work that currently depends on spreadsheets, email threads or disconnected processes
- Dashboards: relevant information in an organised view, with data sources and reporting requirements defined during planning
- Product applications: a first version of a software idea with a clear audience and a focused set of features
- Point-of-sale and operations software: stock, orders and records handled in one place instead of several
- Connected applications: integration with other systems through available APIs and agreed access
What belongs in the first version?
A first version does not need every possible feature. It needs to support the core tasks well enough to serve its intended purpose. We help identify essential functionality, dependencies and ideas that can be considered later.
Existing software that needs a new feature?
We can discuss improvements and integrations for an existing application. Access to the codebase, documentation and relevant services may be needed before confirming feasibility.
Questions about custom web applications
Can you build software around our existing process?
Yes. We begin by identifying the essential tasks and the people who need to complete them, then define what belongs in the first version so the application fits the way you already work.
Can you connect to software we already use?
We can assess the available integration options. Feasibility depends on the tools, APIs, permissions and subscription access involved.
Can you improve an application another developer built?
Possibly. We would need to review the application, available code and relevant documentation before confirming what work can be undertaken.
