Introduction to Web Applications

Web applications are powerful, modern software packages used to perform, operate and manage essential business functions. Web based applications are universally accessible through web browsers from any and all modern Internet enabled devices. They do not require local installation or storage and can be accessed as instantly and easily as a website.

At Xanda we use the latest and most sophisticated technologies available to develop bespoke web applications that materially and measurably improve the way our clients conduct their daily operations. Almost any desktop software can be modernised and redeveloped as a web-based application. Web applications help to automate processes, removing the need for time consuming data entry and reliance on complicated and insecure excel spreadsheets. They can manage, process, organise and report data efficiently and quickly saving money on expensive and slow manual interventions.

We’re here to help!

Cost effective development

Whilst projects need to be thoroughly tested on different web browsers, the applications themselves need only be developed for a single platform, the web browser. There’s no need to develop and test it on all possible operating system versions and configurations. This makes development and troubleshooting much easier, quicker and cost effective.
null

Anywhere, anytime, anyhow

Unlike legacy desktop applications, web applications are accessible anytime, anywhere you are and via any Internet enabled device. The program available anywhere and so is the data which is stored securely and safely in the cloud.
null

Easily updated

User interfaces are as easy to update as websites. No time consuming reinstallation or update processes are required and often updates are automatically pushed. This makes web-applications flexible, dynamic, highly customisable and future proof

Easier installation and maintenance

Installation and maintenance becomes less complicated. Once a new version or upgrade is installed on the host server, all users can access it straight away. There is no need to upgrade each client PC. Rolling out new software can be accomplished more easily, requiring only that users have up-to-date browsers. And as the upgrades are only performed by an experienced professional to a single server, the results are more predictable and reliable.
null

Responsiveness

Web applications use intelligent user interface designs to adjust to the size of the users’ screen. This functionality delivers an optimised user experience whether access is from a smart phone, tablet or large desktop monitor.
null

Improved interoperability

Using internet technologies based on industry-wide standards, it’s possible to achieve a far greater level of interoperability between applications than with isolated proprietary desktop solutions. As an example, it is far easier to integrate a web-based ecommerce solution with a web-based accounting package than it is to get two desktop software packages to connect with each other. Web-based architecture makes it possible to rapidly integrate enterprise systems, improving work-flow and other business processes.

Scalability

Dealing with increasing scale and increasing demands on processor capacity becomes a far simpler operation. If an application requires more power only the server hardware needs to be upgraded. Cloud based infrastructures allow relatively seamless capacity upgrades.
null

Security

Our web-based applications are deployed on servers that are monitored and maintained by experienced server administrators 24/7/365. Applications are secured with multiple layers of firewalls and backup solutions.
null

Commercial opportunities

Web applications that provide commercially desirable functionality can be packaged as purchasable online products. Customers would create an account, buy a licence and be able to use their own private version of the software until their licence expires.

Testimonials

    Netflix

    “Netflix, which adopted ReactJS in 2015, is now using it together with Gibbon, a rendering layer. Back then, Netflix chose React due to its one-way-ticket model of data flow and declarative approach to programming.”

  • null

    Instagram

    “The Instagram team wanted to build a website, a one-page app, to let web visitors also access the social platform. And ReactJS seemed the best fit for this purpose. The web app was optimized and appeared to be quick and comfortable for users. Now, both mobile and web Instagram apps are built with React.”

  • null

    Airbnb

    ”The company decided to switch to ReactJS due to its component reusability, very simple code refactoring, and iterating. Now it’s used in internal structures of the company’s mobile app and webpage.”

  • null

    Bloomberg

    The online magazine chose React Native when developing its mobile app. Their post on the Tech at Bloomberg blog says that it is “the first tool that truly delivers on the promise of cross-platform native app development.”

Power on the Back End

GoLang

Go is a relatively new programming language, developed by Google, with a thriving and growing community. It is well suited for writing server-side programs that are fast. Go is rapidly gaining popularity as a web development language. Many companies, including infrastructure companies like Dropbox and SendGrid, technology-oriented companies such as Square and Hailo, as well as the BBC and The New York Times, have already started using Go.

Laravel

Laravel is a fast, powerful, flexible, open-source and modern PHP framework that designs customized web applications quickly and easily. Laravel is accessible, providing tools needed for large, robust, demanding applications.
