FOUNDER / DEVELOPER
Ed has been building websites since 2003. Nine years running a design-development partnership in Bristol, then freelance from 2013 onward. Bonapps is what two decades of client work taught him to build next.
Custom apps for businesses that have outgrown their systems.
Bonapps builds the software that replaces them with applications for small and mid-sized businesses that actually fit how your operation works.
Custom software used to mean a 6-month project. It doesn't have to.
The assumption that bespoke development is out of reach doesn't hold anymore. We use AI-assisted development to compress timelines significantly, but we plan properly and test on real devices before anything ships. You get working software in weeks, not a prototype that falls apart six months later.
We plan first. We build fast. We test hard.
01 We get on a call
Not a sales pitch, a proper conversation about what you're building, who it's for, and whether the approach makes sense. We'll tell you honestly if something's the wrong call.
02 We plan before we build
Architecture, data model, user flows. All agreed on paper before any code gets written.
03 We build it fast
We use AI to move at a pace that wasn't possible a year ago. You'll see working software in weeks.
04 We test, test, test
Every feature gets put through its paces on real devices, real network conditions, and real edge cases before it reaches your users.
05 It's just the beginning
Launch isn't the finish line. It's where the real learning starts. We stick around to monitor performance, fix anything that surfaces, and ship the next round of improvements.
06 You own everything
The code is yours. The database is yours. The app store accounts are yours. We're available on retainer to keep building but you're never locked in.
Real systems, depended on daily.
