Responsive, bespoke and secure applications for your business.
Orchid designs and develops bespoke web applications and software solutions that support business processes, products and services. Our work goes beyond simple websites, delivering functional, secure and scalable applications tailored to how your organisation operates.
We specialise in projects where a clear understanding of systems, workflows and users is essential – combining technical authorship, UX thinking and software development to produce solutions that are practical, intuitive and robust.
Bespoke Web Applications
Web applications can range from simple internal tools to complex, data-driven platforms used by customers, partners or distributed teams. Orchid develops custom web applications to support tasks such as:
- Data capture, reporting and dashboards.
- Secure client or partner portals.
- Document libraries and controlled access systems.
- Workflow and process management tools.
- Training, assessment and content delivery platforms.
Applications are designed to be responsive, accessible and secure, working reliably across modern browsers and devices.
Software and Application Development
In addition to web-based systems, Orchid develops bespoke software solutions where off-the-shelf products are not suitable. These may include browser-based applications, cloud-hosted systems or integrations with third-party platforms.
We work with modern development frameworks and technologies, including Microsoft-based platforms, and collaborate with experienced developers to deliver reliable, maintainable solutions.
Where required, we can integrate applications with:
- Databases and APIs.
- Content management systems (CMS).
- Learning Management Systems (LMS).
- Existing enterprise or cloud platforms.
- Designed around users and processes.
A key strength of Orchid is our ability to understand complex products, systems and audiences. As technical authors and documentation specialists, we focus on clarity, usability and accuracy – ensuring applications support real-world use rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
Each project begins with requirements analysis, user understanding and workflow definition before moving into design and development.

Web applications can be hosted on OrchidServe, providing secure UK-based hosting with ongoing support. We can also provide:
