About OCWebApps

Senior-level engineering, built around your business

OCWebApps builds custom web apps, mobile apps, and websites for businesses that need software done right — not just done fast.

What we're about

We love building software that makes a real difference

Great software starts with genuine care — for the craft, for the client, and for the problem being solved. We bring that energy to every project we take on, from the first discovery call through launch and beyond.

We partner closely with businesses to understand their goals, then build modern, scalable applications that help them get there. Senior-level engineering, direct collaboration, and a commitment to quality that shows in everything we ship.

Founder & Principal Engineer

James Baxter

James has spent 25+ years building production software, including contributions to Apple's ResearchKit — the open-source framework powering medical research apps used by millions worldwide. He founded OCWebApps to bring that same standard of engineering to businesses that deserve better than what most agencies deliver.

Apple • ResearchKit

Contributed to software used by millions

ResearchKit is Apple's open-source framework that enables medical researchers to build iPhone apps for large-scale health studies. Contributing to it meant writing code that had to be correct — running on millions of devices, powering real clinical research. That experience shapes how every OCWebApps project is built: with the same rigor, the same attention to edge cases, and the same commitment to getting it right.

How we work

Good software is an investment, not an expense

You talk to the engineer

No project managers, no account reps. The person on your calls is the person writing your code — which means faster decisions and fewer misunderstandings.

Built to scale with you

The code we ship is clean, documented, and architected to grow with your business. Not a quick fix that needs replacing in a year.

Honest from the start

We scope projects thoroughly before work begins — so you know what you're getting, what it costs, and when it ships. No scope creep, no surprise invoices.

We're in it for the long run

Most of our clients come back for the next project. That only happens when the first one goes well. Your success is how we grow.

Our process

A straightforward process, start to finish

01

Discovery

We start by understanding your goals, users, and constraints — then map out a clear scope and timeline before writing a single line of code.

02

Design & Architecture

UI/UX design and technical architecture happen in parallel. You see what you're getting before we build it.

03

Build & Iterate

We build in focused sprints with regular check-ins. You have visibility into progress at every stage — no black boxes.

04

Launch & Support

We handle deployment, QA, and go-live. Post-launch support and ongoing development available as needed.

Who we work with

A good fit for the right kind of client

  • Businesses that need a custom web app or internal tool built properly
  • Startups that want senior engineering without the agency overhead
  • Companies that have been burned by a previous dev shop and need it done right this time
  • Teams that want a long-term engineering partner, not a one-off vendor
