You know what the web is, and you probably know what an application is. But if you draw a blank when you think about what a 'web application' is, you're certainly not alone.

So, we're going to address the question head-on: what exactly is a web application? We'll also explore the benefits of having a customized web application built for your business.

You have established policies and procedures that have been evolving with your business - you shouldn’t have to shove them into a one-size-fits-all piece of software. Bespoke software, like a good tailor, takes your measurements and customizes the results so they’re uniquely suited to meet your specific needs.  

Bespoke software development begins with a collaborative approach to define your needs and outline your requirements. Any reputable custom software company relies on open communication to keep those requirements top of mind throughout the development process. We’re on the same team - developer, customer, project manager, (really, any STEP employee) - and we solicit feedback throughout the process so a) there are very few surprises and b) your new software does exactly what you need it to do, for a mutually agreed upon reasonable price.

In recent years, there has been a dramatic growth in the use of 3D printing. It is forecast to become a $15.8 billion industry by 2020 (source: Wohlers Report 2019). This type of printing has changed the way individuals produce objects such as tools, toys, decorations, clothing, and even (although best left to medical professionals) 3D body parts. But what exactly is 3D printing?

Considered part of additive manufacturing, 3D printing is a process where something is created by adding layers. This allows people to make complex parts for cars, machines, and even airplanes more affordably. Prototypes are 3D printed in a fraction of the time and cost compared to standard methods such as molding, sculpting, and forging, which can dramatically reduce time-to-market.

Recent advances have resulted in smaller 3D printers which can be used in businesses and homes. To learn more about 3D printing and its implications, keep on reading.
