Web & Application Development
Built to launch. Built to last.
We design and engineer websites, web applications, mobile apps, and learning platforms end to end. Strategy, design, development, QA, and launch from one accountable team.
What it is
What we build
Web and application development at New Block covers the full range: marketing websites that need to rank and convert, portals and web applications with logins and data, native and cross-platform mobile apps, and custom learning management systems. We built full learning platforms for Suntory Global Spirits and REALM Global from concept through launch.
We choose the stack for the job. Modern static and server-rendered frameworks for speed and security on content sites, and proven application frameworks with well-defined APIs for software. Every build ships with accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA, performance budgets, structured data for search, and a content workflow your team can run without us.
For public agencies, we build to ADA Title II and Section 508 requirements from the first wireframe, which is far cheaper than remediating after launch.

Frequently asked about Web & Application Development
What platforms and technologies do you build with?
For content and marketing sites we favor modern frameworks such as Astro and Next.js deployed on edge infrastructure, often paired with a headless CMS. For applications we use proven frameworks with clear APIs, and for mobile we build natively or cross-platform depending on the product. We recommend the stack after discovery, not before.
Will the site meet ADA and Section 508 requirements?
Yes. Every build is developed and tested to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard referenced by ADA Title II and Section 508. We test with keyboard navigation and screen readers, not automated scanners alone, and we can provide conformance documentation for procurement.
Can you redesign our existing site without losing search rankings?
Yes. We map every existing URL, set redirects, preserve or improve metadata and structured data, and monitor Search Console through and after launch. Protecting organic traffic is part of the launch checklist.
Do you build custom learning management systems?
Yes. We designed and built custom LMS platforms for Suntory Global Spirits and REALM Global, including interactive modules, assessments, and certification tracking. We build custom when off-the-shelf tools cannot deliver the experience or the data model you need.
What happens after launch?
We offer support and maintenance plans covering hosting, security updates, monitoring, content changes, and feature development. You own the code and the accounts either way.
