Web and mobile development
Your digital platforms are often the first point of contact between your business and its customers. Whether it’s a corporate website, an e-commerce store, a mobile app, or a bespoke web application, the way it’s built determines not only how it looks, but how well it performs.
At Bluebrick Studios, we design and develop digital products that are robust, scalable, and crafted to your exact requirements. Our work combines technical expertise, industry best practice, and a deep understanding of user experience to ensure your platform is both functional and enjoyable to use.
We’ve been building digital products for over 25 years – long enough to see countless trends come and go. What hasn’t changed is our belief that every project should be built on a foundation of solid engineering, considered design, and the flexibility to evolve as your needs grow.
Summary
We build robust, scalable websites, web applications and mobile apps designed around your objectives. From CMS and e-commerce to native and cross-platform mobile, we engineer for performance, security and future growth.
Here you’ll find the core strands of our development work: website design and development, iOS and Android app development, bespoke web applications, and CMS/platform integration. We explain how we choose the right stack – WordPress or Drupal, Shopify or Magento, React/Angular/Gatsby, Laravel, APIs and middleware – to match your requirements.
Website design and development
We design and build websites that are more than just a pretty front-end – they’re engineered to meet your business goals and deliver measurable results.
Our approach begins by understanding what success looks like for you. Is it generating leads, selling products, improving accessibility, or enhancing brand credibility? Once we know your objectives, we select the tools, platforms, and frameworks that will best serve those needs.
We work across a range of established content management systems (CMS) including Drupal and WordPress, giving you a user-friendly way to manage your content and keep your site up to date. For e-commerce, we specialise in Shopify and Magento, creating online stores that are optimised for performance, conversion and scalability.
For more complex or highly customised builds, we use modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, and Gatsby – often incorporating headless CMS functionality where it makes sense. This approach decouples the back-end from the front-end, offering faster load times, greater flexibility, and a more future-proof platform.
Every site we build is responsive by default, ensuring it works beautifully across desktop, tablet and mobile devices. And because security and stability are as important as design, we build with clean, maintainable code that’s easy to update and scale.
Mobile app design and development (iOS and Android)
Mobile is now the primary way many users engage with digital products. We’ve been designing and building mobile applications for over a decade, helping clients turn ideas into polished, high-performance apps for iOS and Android.
We can take your project from concept to launch, starting with discovery and UX design, through to build, testing, and deployment to the App Store or Google Play. Depending on your needs, we can develop:
- Native apps – Built specifically for iOS (using Swift/Objective-C) or Android (using Kotlin/Java) to take full advantage of platform-specific capabilities and performance.
- Cross-platform apps – Built using frameworks like React Native, enabling you to deploy to both iOS and Android from a single codebase while still delivering near-native performance.
We can also design and build the back-end services, APIs, and middleware needed to connect your app to your data and other services – whether that’s integrating with existing systems, syncing with e-commerce platforms, or providing real-time updates to users.
Our mobile development process is collaborative and iterative, with frequent testing to ensure a smooth user experience. We also provide ongoing support after launch, helping you maintain and improve your app over time.
Web application development
For many businesses, a standard website isn’t enough. You may need a web application – a browser-based tool that allows users to perform complex tasks, access secure data, or interact with your services in real time.
With over 25 years of experience building customer web applications, we can help you create a system that streamlines operations, enhances customer engagement, and delivers real business value.
We work with frameworks such as Laravel to build robust, secure, and maintainable applications from scratch. Alternatively, we can extend your existing platforms and services, building new layers of functionality on top of the systems you already use.
Our experience covers a wide range of industries and use cases, from internal business dashboards to client-facing booking platforms, data visualisation tools, and workflow automation systems. By leveraging your existing business systems, we can bring your data and services online in a way that’s accessible, intuitive, and efficient.
CMS and platform integration
Many businesses already have powerful tools and platforms in place – but those systems don’t always communicate effectively with one another. That’s where our CMS and platform integration expertise comes in.
We have extensive experience connecting existing content management systems with other platforms, tools, and legacy business systems. Using APIs and custom middleware, we ensure your platforms can share data seamlessly, reduce duplication of effort, and work together as a cohesive ecosystem.
This might mean integrating your CMS with your CRM, linking your e-commerce store to your inventory management system, or connecting a web portal to internal databases. Whatever the requirement, our focus is on making your systems talk to each other in a way that’s secure, reliable, and built to last.
