About
A web development company in Auckland you can actually reach.
Applicable is an Auckland web development company, founded and led by John Halvorsen-Jones, building websites, custom web apps and customer portals for New Zealand small and mid-sized businesses since 2008.
Who we are: small and senior on purpose. The people who scope your project are the people who build it, and the people who answer the phone.
John Halvorsen-Jones
John founded Applicable and still leads every project. Thirty years in technology, from large-scale systems to the Virtual Product Owner role he has run for clients since 2014. Clients describe the same thing in different words: "he listens to what you want", "ahead of timeline, under budget and transparent", "easy for us laypeople to understand".
