Software and Progressive Web developers
Pepper Creative have a wide experience in Progressive Web App (PWA) development and programming. Web Apps look and behave like any mobile app you may download from an App or Play Store, but work within standard web browsers. This approach has two major benefits over native Mobile Apps - they are substantially cheaper to produce, and they can automatically adapt to work perfectly on all devices and mobile operating systems. Pepper Creative have developed Web Apps with a wide range of functions and end uses, from interactive historical trails and children's play experiences, to appointment booking and rating systems for spas and leisure clubs.
Rock Club
Pepper Creative were approached by High Sports to develop a Web App that could recreate a traditional student ‘Log Book’ on their smart phone. The App needed to allow multiple Rock Club participants to interact at the same time, allowing Instructors to mark climbing tasks as completed, and Climbers to review their training progress. The App utilised smart phone technology to its fullest, with climbers able to take written examinations, and parents and instructors to use an image upload function to post shots of children while climbing.
Newport Town Council
Newport Town Council commissioned Pepper Creative to develop a Web App that introduces residents and visitors to the town’s rich and varied history. The App allows mobile users to learn the stories of the people and places that have helped shape the character of the bustling town. This was achieved with the creation of ‘Historical Newport’, an interactive online trail around the Isle of Wight’s county town, with opportunities to view photos, watch videos and even listen to recordings of Newport residents and experts both past and present.
Island Wellness
Club & Spa
The Island Wellness Club & Spa, formally West Bay Club, is a fitness centre, spa and café offering three ‘happiness’ pillars - Health, Wellness & Beauty. The luxury leisure business commissioned Pepper Creative to build a Web App to allow members to book exercise sessions and treatments, as well as introduce them to new activities they may not have considered before. Pepper’s App also gives users the opportunity to Rate & Review activities in which they have taken part.
Web based software development
Pepper Creative develop custom web based software solutions that focus on enhancing the effectiveness of existing in-house operations, increasing employee efficiency and helping organisations to become more efficient, streamlined and profitable. Whether it’s managing customer relationships via a CRM or allowing your staff to share resources via an Intranet, we can help you evolve and transform nearly any business practice. There are several benefits to commissioning your own custom software solution, but one of the most important is the possibility of expansion. As an organisation changes over time, it’s vital to have a software solution that can be easily updated to meet your new needs or goals, and Pepper’s bespoke software solutions are built specifically to enable easy expansion.
Some examples of web-based software functionality we have developed are:
- Design your own shed for Lushington Garden Rooms
- Tracking yacht charters & maintenance for Island Charters
- Booking management & customer relationships for Skyros
- Online testing and examination for Drivex
- Secure document transfer system for Uni Pol
- Staff timesheet management and task scheduling for River Yar Boat Yard

Learn
Learn
The most important phase of development, where we meet with you to get to know your current business practices and what you want to achieve.
Plan
Plan
We plan how the software will work in detail. We will then meet you and go through exactly how the software will work, make sure we have met your expectations, make any amendments, and answer any questions you may have.
Model
Model
After the plan has been signed off, we begin making the software. We first make a working model to allow you to get to know the software and ensure that it works perfectly for you.
Execute
Execute
When you are happy with the software, we will make it go live. This is an intricate and carefully scheduled process to minimise any disruption to your company, staff and most importantly, your customers.
Monitor
Monitor
After the software has gone live we work with you to monitor it and ensure that your original requirements are being met.
Optimise
Optimise
We will tweak and tailor your software to meet your changing needs. This is one of the main advantages of using bespoke software rather than buying an off-the-shelf package.
