What is custom web application development?

Custom web application development is the process of building purpose-built software that runs in a web browser. Unlike a standard website, a web application handles user authentication, data processing, workflows and business logic — such as booking systems, dashboards, CRM portals and operational platforms built around your specific business process.

How much does custom web application development cost in Malaysia?

Custom web application development in Malaysia typically starts from RM 30,000 for a simple single-workflow system and ranges to RM 120,000 or more for complex enterprise platforms with multiple user roles, integrations and advanced reporting. Cost depends on scope, features, integrations and design complexity. UNO provides a detailed proposal after scoping.

How long does it take to build a custom web application?

A simple custom web application typically takes 3 to 4 months to build. A mid-complexity system with multiple modules takes 4 to 6 months. A complex enterprise platform with integrations and multiple user roles may take 6 to 12 months. Timeline depends on scope, feature complexity and the number of integrations required.

What types of web applications does UNO build?

UNO builds CRM systems, ERP platforms, customer portals, admin dashboards, booking and scheduling systems, workflow automation tools, membership platforms, fleet tracking systems, loyalty programmes, inventory management systems, HR and recruitment platforms, and other custom business systems for SMEs, MNCs and GLCs in Malaysia.

What is the difference between a website and a web application?

A website presents information — company profile, product pages, blog content. A web application handles user logic: logins, data entry, workflow processing, transactions and real-time updates. Most businesses need a website first; they need a web application when their process requires automation, data management or multi-user interaction.

Does UNO provide support after the web application is launched?

Yes. UNO provides post-launch support and maintenance including bug fixes, performance monitoring, security updates, feature enhancements and infrastructure management. Support plans are available on a monthly retainer or as-needed basis.
