About WinterWeb
What is WinterWeb?
A small, senior team that plans, designs and builds web applications and websites. A core team of three leads every project, with a network of specialists we bring in as the work needs them.
How are you different from a freelancer or a large agency?
A freelancer is one person, which is a risk. A large agency adds overhead and often hands the work to juniors. With us, one senior person leads your project and answers for it, and you only pay for the specialists your project needs.
Where are you based?
North London. We work remote-first, so most of our work with clients happens by video call and shared documents.
Who will I be dealing with?
The person leading your project, from the first call to launch. You will not be passed to an account manager.
What we do
What do you build?
Web applications, websites and online shops. We also provide fractional CTO support and help companies put AI to work in their processes.
What technology do you use?
Laravel and Filament for web applications, and WordPress or Laravel for websites. We choose them because they are proven, well supported and quick to extend.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes. We have shipped apps to iOS and Android, including Doctors Club, a network for doctors and medical students.
What is a fractional CTO?
A senior technical leader who works with your company part-time. They set technical direction, guide your developers and take responsibility for the decisions that are expensive to get wrong. Ours comes with a team behind them.
Can you help us use AI?
Yes. Our Chief Human Agent service helps companies set up AI in their everyday processes, with a person accountable for every result.
Working together
How do I start?
Send a short project brief. It takes about a minute. We read every one and reply with questions, not a sales pitch.
Do I need a finished specification?
No. A rough description of what you want to build, your budget and your timing is enough. Shaping the scope is part of what we do.
How long will my project take?
It depends on what you are building. You get a realistic timeline with our proposal, and we tell you early if anything threatens it.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Yes. We set up content management so your team can change text, images and pages without a developer.
What happens after launch?
We can keep your site or application hosted, secure and up to date, and stay on hand for changes and new features.
Who owns the code?
You do. Once the project is paid for, the code and content are yours.
Cost
How much will it cost?
It depends on the scope. Tell us your budget in the brief and we will say plainly what is possible within it.
How do you charge?
In one of two ways. A defined project gets an estimate before work starts. Ongoing work runs on a monthly retainer.
