What is Blueberry Web Template?

Blueberry Web Template (BBWT) is our framework for building secure bespoke web and cloud applications to best practice standards in an accelerated timeframe. Blueberry’s solutions are of course bespoke for each customer, but it makes sense to share a foundation that is needed for every application, thus not re-inventing the wheel within each project.

The framework includes a collection of pre-built modules, best programming practices and proven design styles that make it easier to create powerful and easy-to-use web applications.

The BBWT framework includes:

• Standard stylesheets and flexible menu system
• Strong, secure user authentication (including 2FA options)
• A comprehensive user permission management system
• Built in language localisation
• Customer and supplier portals
• Dynamic field validation
• Data import and export
• Document management and PDF generation
• Email templates
• Alerts
• Built-in support for problem reporting during testing
• A comprehensive set of coding and design guidelines for developers

With BBWT, we also provide a large library of application features that can be slotted into your software, such as:

• Email harvester and synchronisation
• SMS integration
• Dashboards
• To Do lists and task management
• Calendars
• Sage and Xero accounts integration
• CRM functionality
• Audit logging
• Integration with Google, Bing, Amazon, eBay and many more APIs

…and much more!

Software development companies often put together their own platform or toolbox to save time when building new systems. However, if not handled correctly, these platforms can cause problems for customers for two main reasons:

1. Some developers make their platforms very complex or proprietary, making it much harder (or impossible) to move the project to a new developer.
2. In order to re-use the platform across multiple projects, the developer needs to retain copyright. But if the legal agreements are not structured in the right way, this can result in the customer not actually fully owning the completed system.

Blueberry’s platform avoids each of these problems; it’s written in a very straightforward way using open, widely available programming languages and components to avoid the risk of lock-in, and we provide complete source code for BBWT, plus a totally unlimited license to use it within your organisation (unlimited users, permanent, transferable, royalty free).
