St. Petersburg web development for firms whose clients would rather log in than chase an email.

An advice business runs on documents and on waiting. A client sends something, wonders if it arrived, and emails to ask. A login that shows what's been received and what's still needed can end a lot of that. We built a law practice a custom intake application, so a prospective client can start their matter at midnight and the firm wakes up to an organized file. We built a finance leadership firm a site that sends each visitor to the right seat before anyone picks up the phone. Those are the kinds of jobs we mean by a custom web application, and they apply to financial and legal firms alike. Security and record-keeping rules are for your own adviser to set.

A homepage test can't see inside a portal, and we have no St. Petersburg sample. Here's what it saw across 1274 homepages in our 31-city sample. Blocking time, when a phone can't respond to a tap, had a median of 277 ms. Browser errors turned up in the logs of 38%. 573 ran WordPress and 355 ran on other or custom platforms, with median speed scores of 62 and 62. We build custom, so we'd love to report a clear win. We can't. 12 of the 343 professional services sites had online booking on the homepage. Choose a platform for what it has to do, and not for the score.

A restaurant or venue has a simpler need: reservations and event dates that hold up on the weekend of the Grand Prix. Web apps begin at $575, depending on complexity, with a fixed price after scoping. API integration ties in the billing or calendar you already use. We also build native iOS and Android apps, from $3,750. The St. Petersburg report has the wider picture. Tell us which question your staff answers most by email, and we'll say whether a tool would answer it better.
