Web applications

We understand the application we build for your organization is not just a website—it can be the critical infrastructure your customers or organization depend on. Its failure has real-world consequences, which is why performance, data integrity, and uncompromising security are the foundations of everything we build. This level of responsibility demands more than technical skill; it demands a partner with proven expertise in engineering for resilience and mitigating risk.

This is why we begin every engagement as strategists first and technologists second. We put more effort into understanding your organization, stakeholders, and documenting user needs than any firm you’ve worked with, ensuring the final application solves both stated and unstated goals. The result is a powerful, intuitive platform that your team can rely on. Our clients have absolute confidence in our work for two reasons: we deliver every project on time and on budget.

A mission-critical application is one that directly supports essential services. If it fails, operations are disrupted, compliance is at risk, or public trust is impacted. Our development practices integrate resilience, speed, security, and accessibility from discovery, ensuring the application performs reliably under pressure and scales with demand.

We follow a defense-in-depth approach that includes secure coding practices, penetration testing, role-based access control, data encryption, and regular security patching. Security is integrated into every stage of design, development, and deployment.

We have delivered applications for a range of sectors, including: environmental monitoring, regulatory compliance, workforce development, and public services. Examples range from flood management dashboards, NAICS-based skills assessments, e-commerce, claims management, and reporting systems for government agencies.

Accessibility is embedded into our design and development process. We create interfaces that meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards, ensure compatibility with assistive technologies, and test critical workflows with diverse user groups to confirm usability for all audiences.

Most likely. We regularly integrate applications with CRMs, ERPs, GIS mapping tools, analytics platforms, and custom internal databases. Each integration point is designed to be stable, secure, and maintainable, avoiding fragile connections that create technical debt. To respond with certainty, we’d need to hear more about your project.

We choose architecture and hosting strategies based on projected load, redundancy needs, and growth potential. This might include containerization, load balancing, and cloud-native deployments so the application scales without performance loss.

Testing is a continuous process managed by our proprietary project framework. Using user stories and their corresponding acceptance criteria as our checklist, we test every feature as it’s released, meaning the application is rigorously vetted multiple times before launch. Our final review is a comprehensive validation that includes functional, performance, load, and security testing, alongside full accessibility and cross-device compatibility checks.

We work with your compliance officers to align the application with relevant standards, whether that’s data privacy laws, sector-specific regulations, or accessibility mandates. Compliance is treated as a build requirement.

We provide structured maintenance plans that include performance monitoring, security patching, feature updates, and bug fixes. Each client is different and requires a unique service level agreement. During our preliminary consultation, we will discuss what your needs and expectations are and put together a plan that’s specific to your organization.

Timelines are affected by a number of factors, including: application complexity, whether we’re launching a minimum viable product (MVP) with structured user feedback loops, the extent of discovery and user research, and available resourcing from your team.

The absolute minimum is about 20 weeks from discovery to launch, for an MVP. This includes stakeholder research, design, development, integration, and thorough testing.

Yes. You retain full ownership of the code, architecture, and data once the project is complete. This ensures long-term flexibility and avoids vendor lock-in. We provide extensive documentation to your development or IT team and leadership.

Most likely. While we can refactor legacy code, migrate data, improve performance, and update the interface to meet current accessibility and usability standards, it may be a less costly long term investment to build using modern, well-supported frameworks.

It comes down to experience, reputation, and skill set. Blue Goose has two decades of experience building complex applications that are sustainable, long-term investments. Our DEER Project Methodology^TM is a proven framework that guides each project through specific protocols designed to ensure your application is thoroughly tested, vetted under pressure, and scales with organizational growth.

The discovery phase is comprehensive, producing a product road map for numerous phases into the future. We build with that road map in mind, reducing cost and complexity in future upgrades. We are a senior, in-house team. The people you meet during kick-off are the same people who will be hands-on with your project until launch, which ensures clear, consistent communication and full accountability.
