Web Development
Performance by Design
Enterprise-grade web platforms, self-service portals, and progressive web applications built for the performance standards your users demand and the maintainability your engineering teams deserve.
Web Platforms That Scale With Your Business
Enterprise web development is not the same discipline as agency web design. The challenges are different: integrations with multiple back-end systems, authentication and authorisation at scale, accessibility compliance across jurisdictions, and the maintenance burden of codebases that will be extended by multiple engineering teams for years.
SWA's web development practice leads with architecture. Before committing to a framework or technology stack, we scope the integrations, define the performance budget, and establish the testing strategy. The result is web applications that pass Core Web Vitals audits, meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements, and integrate cleanly with your existing authentication and data infrastructure.
- Full-stack web development (React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Node.js, .NET)
- Enterprise portals, intranets, and self-service platforms
- Progressive web apps (PWA) with offline capability
- Headless CMS architectures for content-intensive platforms
- WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility and Core Web Vitals optimisation
What We Deliver
Modern Frontend Development
Component-driven frontend architectures using React, Vue.js, or Angular — with a design system foundation that keeps visual consistency as the application grows.
Backend & API Development
Node.js, .NET Core, Python, and Java backends — RESTful and GraphQL APIs, with database design and ORM integration aligned to your data architecture.
Enterprise Portals
Customer-facing and employee-facing portals with role-based access, SSO integration, workflow engines, and document management at enterprise scale.
Performance Engineering
Lighthouse audits, bundle analysis, image optimisation, CDN strategy, and server-side rendering to achieve and maintain passing Core Web Vitals scores in production.
Accessibility Engineering
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance built into the component library — automated axe-core testing in CI, manual screen-reader testing, and keyboard navigation audits before every release.
Legacy Web Modernisation
Migration of jQuery/Backbone/AngularJS applications to modern frameworks — phased approaches that let teams deliver new features while gradually retiring technical debt.
Why Choose SWA for Web Development
Architecture Before Frameworks
We choose the technology stack after understanding your requirements — not before. That means you're not fitted into a preferred vendor's preferred tools when a different stack would serve you better.
Performance as a Deliverable
Core Web Vitals scores are part of our definition of done — not an optional audit after handoff. Every web engagement includes a defined performance budget enforced in the CI pipeline.
Security-Integrated Development
OWASP Top 10 controls, dependency vulnerability scanning, CSP headers, and SAST tooling are wired into the build process from the first sprint — not reviewed once before launch.
Building a Web Platform That Has to Perform?
Share your requirements and we'll return with a stack recommendation, architecture approach, and timeline — no commitment, no sales deck, just a direct technical response.
