Web Design
Custom software when the business actually needs custom.
Bright Bridge designs and builds websites, web applications, and mobile applications from Provo, Utah. When an off-the-shelf system or normal website plan can’t do what the business needs, we scope and engineer the custom solution.

Not every advanced website needs custom software.
Connecting an existing booking platform, payment processor, CRM, ecommerce tool, form system, or other established service may still fit normal website work. Custom development begins when we have to invent new functionality or business logic specifically for the organization.
Usually not custom software
- Integrating an existing scheduling platform
- Connecting Stripe or another established payment system
- Connecting forms to an existing CRM
- Embedding established ecommerce functionality
- Configuring an existing membership tool
Genuinely custom
- Proprietary calculators
- Unique pricing engines
- Business-specific workflows
- Custom portals
- Custom dashboards
- Complex data-processing logic
- Custom applications
- Mobile applications
- Software that doesn't already exist in an appropriate off-the-shelf form

Custom projects
Quoted by scope
$140/hour published engineering rate outside packages
Significant custom projects receive a written scope and quote before work begins. Work outside a defined package has a published engineering rate of $140/hour and is estimated before we start.
Custom web work is built to Bright Bridge's WCAG accessibility engineering standard from the beginning. That is a technical quality bar, not a legal guarantee.
From first conversation to ongoing care.
01
Free consultation
Understand what the business actually needs.
02
Written scope and quote
Define deliverables, pricing, ownership, timeline, and ongoing-support requirements before significant engineering begins.
03
Design & engineering
Build visibly, with staging/review points appropriate to the project.
04
Launch
Verify the production system and handoff.
05
Ongoing care
Every custom project launches with an ongoing care/support arrangement defined in the proposal.
A custom project can sit on top of a website plan.
A business can be on a Managed Website plan and later need something custom. We do not force the entire website into a new pricing model just because one custom feature is needed. The monthly website service can continue while the custom engineering is separately scoped.
If custom functionality requires ongoing engineering support after launch, that recurring requirement is disclosed and agreed to before the custom build begins.
Ownership
Custom-project ownership, accounts, source code, deliverables, and ongoing-support responsibilities are defined in the written project agreement before work begins. Where appropriate, client-controlled core accounts are preferred.
Technical accessibility findings and services, not legal advice.
Web Design Questions
How do I know whether I need custom development?
If an established platform can already do the job — scheduling, payments, CRM, ordinary ecommerce — it is usually normal website work. Custom development begins when we have to invent functionality or business logic specifically for your organization.
What does a custom project cost?
Custom projects are quoted by scope. Significant projects receive a written scope and quote before work begins, and work outside a defined package uses the published $140/hour engineering rate with an estimate first.
Can I keep my website plan while you build something custom?
Yes. The monthly website service can continue while the custom engineering is scoped and billed separately.
Who owns the custom work?
Ownership, accounts, source code, deliverables, and ongoing-support responsibilities are defined in the written project agreement before work begins. Where appropriate, we prefer client-controlled core accounts.
