Bespoke web applications and web design for UK businesses.
What bespoke actually means at Exline Labs.
A lot of agencies customise a theme or use a page builder and call it bespoke. We build from a blank canvas every time!
Most agencies build what you ask for. We spend the first two weeks figuring out what you actually need, who your users are, how they move, and where the real business value is. That is the difference between a web app that looks right and one that performs.

How our extended development team services work.
Discovery
We identify your business goals, the needs of your website audience, and their pain point in our initial conversations. Then, we develop user personas and the buyer’s journey for your users.
We’ll also do a content audit if you have an existing website to identify where to improve. As the last step of the stage, we develop a logical site structure based on the previous steps.
UX Research & Architecture
During the UX phase, we do a UX audit - if you have an existing site. We organise the site content using Information Architecture.
And we wireframe the early frame to plan functionality and user flow.
UI Design
At this stage, our visual designers create on-brand visual UI layers for easy website usage. We’ll share a high-fidelity version with you - desktop and mobile - before we start the development phase. You’ll know exactly how your site will look before we go ahead.
Development
Web development is only taken up once we do UX and UI - but that’s for a reason. Our UX-approach makes sure there’s less to tweak down the road, making everyone happy - you, your users, and devs.
We hand-code everything, using the best tech stack for the front-end and back-end. Nothing is from a template.
QA + Performance + SEO setup
We’ll do a quality check to make sure everything is in order and see if the site meets the required performance benchmarks.
We do the on-page SEO for all websites we do. We can also do keyword analysis and competitor analysis for you if you’d like.
Launch + Support or iteration
Your tailor-made website is good to go. We support you throughout the launch and help you with any iteration that is required post-launch.

Germany
Communication was always followed up and deliveries were on time. They were always available for additional help and support. This is not what I experienced with the agency I used before — with Exline I always knew exactly where the project stood.
