Web app development / Tampa, Florida
Browser software your customers and team can use anywhere.
Fintlock builds web apps for businesses: customer portals, internal tools, and the integrations that move data between systems without anyone copying and pasting.
The problem
When the browser is the right place
Some software has to run everywhere: on the office desktop, on a phone at a job site, and on a customer's laptop at home. A web app needs no installation, is always the current version, and works on whatever device the person happens to have.
The catch is that a web app is only as good as the plumbing behind it. A portal that shows stale order status, or an internal tool that needs a spreadsheet export every morning, has not solved the problem. We build the connections first and the screens second.
What we build
What we build
Browser software with a proper backend, hosted on infrastructure in your name. Typical projects:
- Customer portals: order status, documents, invoices, and requests in one place
- Internal tools that replace the shared spreadsheet and let several people work at once
- Integrations between accounting, CRM, inventory, and field systems
- Dashboards that show the numbers people actually check, drawn from live data
- Workflow automation: approvals, notifications, and hand-offs that used to travel by email
- The web companion to an iPhone app, sharing the same accounts and data
Project example / Fintley
A data-heavy product, backed by a real service.
Fintley, our real estate appraisal app, is an iPhone product on the surface, but everything it shows comes from a service we built and run: property data, valuation, market figures, and the accounts and subscriptions behind them.
It is a useful picture of how we approach web work: the backend is designed to serve more than one front end, so a browser version can share the same data and logins as the phone app.

How a project runs
Three stages, each with something to show for it.
A written scope and a price before work starts, working builds while we build, and a proper handover when it ships. More on how we work.
Scope
We start with a conversation about what happens today and what needs to change. From that you get a written scope and a price before any code is written.
Build
Design and development run in short cycles. You review working software as it comes together, on your own phone or desk, rather than a slide deck about it.
Launch
App Store submission, deployment, documentation, and a proper handover. When it ships, your team can run it, and we are still reachable when something needs attention.
Questions
Things people ask about web apps.
Where does the web app run?
On hosting set up in your name, sized to what the app needs. You pay the provider directly and hold the keys; we do the setup and keep it healthy.
Can it connect to our existing systems?
Almost always. Accounting packages, CRMs, inventory systems, and supplier portals expose data through APIs or exports, and connecting to them is a core part of the work.
Will it work on phones?
Yes. Everything we build for the browser is designed for phones and tablets as well as desktops. If the phone experience needs the camera, offline use, or notifications, we may suggest a native iPhone app alongside it.
Who owns the code and the data?
You do. Source code, hosting accounts, and data are all yours from the start.
