We are Vancouver’s Web App Developers
We are Canadian web app developers headquartered in Vancouver, BC. Our team of 32 experienced developers, alongside our technical director, UI/UX designer, project managers, and sales staff are here to help you build incredible cross-device compatible, responsive web applications. From simple apps to complex, data-driven projects, we are highly experienced at delivering excellent results. We build apps for a variety of uses – from consumers to business back ends – if you can dream it, we can build it.
Web Application Design
Our team of programmers and developers are well-versed in a variety of languages, giving our clients more options when building an application from scratch with specific functions and requirements. We are not fans of traditional app developing packages, as these often lead to bugs and limits the ability to implement truly unique features into our clients’ projects.
Instead, we enjoy working one on one with each of our individual clients to determine their needs while also developing a solution and project scope that works best without eliminating the overall ability of the final web app itself. At Essential Designs, we work only with the best senior programmers and developers around, allowing our clients to get the most out of any app they envision from scratch.

Business Web Applications
We also specialize in building business-specific web applications, making it much easier to communicate with team members while managing your day-to-day tasks with less hassle. Developing a business application for your company is a way to potentially automate billing, send tickets to working employees (even if they are working remotely), or simply manage time and schedules within any department or your company as a whole. Ultimately, building a custom business web application is a way to reduce overall costs by increasing productivity, efficiency, and overall communication with all of your employees and customers simultaneously.
Our Latest Projects

Customized Systems
Our experience covers all kinds of customized systems from office management and order tracking to stock trading applications. We’ve even architected systems to manage Canadian resource companies and mines. We do not focus on only one industry or sector, we build systems for any industry that requires our expertise.
We build a fully customized system for each of our clients. What this means is that we are not taking a pre-made software package and refitting it to your business, but building a system from the ground up tailored to your needs. You will never be stuck at some point in the future with a packaged limit to changes that you can make or features that cannot be adjusted – the system is 100% yours and allows for customization at any time. This also means that you will not have hundreds of features and fields in your application that are not of benefit or use to you, every item will be added specifically based on your need for it, making the system very streamlined. We do not get to use your code and product to sell to the next customer as well, you own all rights and licenses to the end code.
Responsive Design
Responsive design is an exciting breakthrough in web design technology. Finally, your online presence can automatically adapt to any screen size, on any device. With responsive design, you only need one version of your app or website to serve the different preferences of the entire market. Often, with a responsive web application, you don’t even need to build a native mobile version of your app.
Responsive design works for a wide range of web-based software applications; from admin panels to portals, to SaaS projects. Buy stocks, review sales reports, order more pallets of wood – whatever you need, view and easily accomplish your tasks on any device. Remember, no matter how large or complicated your project may be, we have the skills to create an intuitive experience for your users and a headache-free experience for you. Contact us today to learn how smooth the process can be.

Applications Of Every Kind
Our team of software developers has created applications for almost every sector, not to mention every type of application: from CRM services like Salesforce (cloud computing), online Banking platforms and Point of Sale Systems to Insurance claim filing applications.
Whether you are located in Metro Vancouver, Greater Toronto Area or elsewhere in Canada, our team can help you build a custom application that meets all of your requirements.
Our Process
We follow a 5 step process for all Essential Designs projects.
Each step in the app development process is managed by our team, with final approval by the client before proceeding to the next step. The steps are sequential, meaning prior to the start of any code by our app developers in step 4, a fully approved wireframe and design will be locked and ready for the coding and app development team.
