At 4BIS Innovations, we don't start with technology — we start with your business. We take a close look at your processes, your users and what is truly needed. Only then do we build: from an SEO-optimised business website to a custom web application that fits seamlessly with how your organisation works. Using Symfony and React, our team in Maastricht builds solutions that are scalable and grow alongside your business.
No generic templates or unnecessary features — only what moves your organisation forward. Technical SEO is built into every delivery as standard, so your website ranks well in Google and offers an excellent user experience on every device. Trusted by organisations including Volvo Trucks, Gazelle Bikes, VolkerWessels and the Municipality of Haarlem.
We always start with a conversation about your business and your processes — not about technology. What are the bottlenecks? Who are the users? What truly needs to be solved? From that understanding, we determine the best approach together. Sometimes that means a new website, sometimes a custom web application, and sometimes a smart integration with an existing system turns out to be sufficient. We think alongside you, not ahead of you.
A website is primarily informational: visitors read content, get in touch or browse products. A web application is interactive and executes business logic — think of a customer portal, a planning system or an internal dashboard. 4BIS Innovations specialises in custom web applications built with Symfony (PHP) and React for businesses that need more than a standard website.
That depends on what your situation requires — and we determine that together. For some businesses, a well-configured WordPress website is exactly what is needed. For others, a fully custom web application is the only logical choice because standard platforms don't support their processes well enough. We always choose the approach that fits your organisation best, not the one that is easiest for us.
An informational business website is typically delivered within 3 to 5 weeks. Custom web applications take between 6 and 16 weeks depending on scope. We work Agile/Scrum: you see working software at regular intervals and can steer where needed. No surprises at delivery — clear communication throughout the entire project.
Our standard stack is Symfony (PHP 8+) for the back end and React.js / TypeScript for the front end, with MySQL or PostgreSQL as the database and Redis for caching. We choose technology based on what your project actually needs — not based on what happens to be trending. For business websites we also work with WordPress and WooCommerce.
Front-end is everything the user sees and interacts with: the interface, buttons, forms and layout — built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React. Back-end is the invisible engine: the server, database and business logic that processes and stores data — at 4BIS built with Symfony and PHP 8+. Good web applications require both layers working in close alignment.
Yes, technical SEO is built into every website we deliver as standard: optimised load speed (Core Web Vitals), correct heading hierarchy, structured data / rich snippets, mobile friendliness and semantic HTML. Additional on-page SEO and content optimisation are available through our digital marketing services.
Absolutely. We first look at what is already in place within your organisation and how systems currently communicate with each other. From that picture we build integrations that truly align with your data flows — whether that involves an ERP, CRM, payment provider or an internal system. We have extensive experience with complex integrations for organisations such as Volvo Trucks, Pon Bike and VolkerWessels.
All websites and web applications we build are fully responsive — optimised for smartphone, tablet and desktop. For government institutions and public organisations we build in line with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidelines, ensuring your website is accessible to all users and compliant with relevant legislation.
Yes. Delivery is not the end point for us — it is the start of a long-term partnership. We offer maintenance contracts covering security updates, performance monitoring and further development as your business grows. Hosting is provided through TheHostMasters on European bare-metal servers with NGINX/OpenResty — secure, fast and fully under our own management.
