Websites & software in San Ġwann

San Ġwann

Growth at a food plant, a pharmaceutical laboratory or a software firm in San Ġwann usually starts with a vacancy rather than a new machine. Candidates in quality assurance, production, regulatory affairs or software research employers online before applying, and a careers page with three outdated adverts does an employer no favours. MDEPARTMENT, a digital studio of KRUPKA Concept GmbH in Germany, builds better ones. Our web design in San Ġwann delivers fast, accessible, GDPR-compliant websites whose careers section explains roles, shift patterns and the route to an interview, with an application form that works on a phone. Where recruitment, onboarding or export orders still run through spreadsheets, custom software development adds applicant tracking, onboarding checklists or a B2B ordering portal for distributors abroad. We work remotely in English or German and come to Malta for workshops on request.

San Ġwann's economy centres on the San Ġwann Industrial Estate, a government-owned zone of roughly 270,000 m² between San Ġwann and Birkirkara, administered by INDIS Malta. According to INDIS, firms there work in fields ranging from food and beverages to clothing and ICT. Foster Clark Products has its base on the estate and distributes its products in more than 70 countries, and the bakery producer Golden Harvest operates its production facility there too. Inside the estate, the Malta Life Sciences Park, an initiative of Malta Enterprise made up of the Malta Life Sciences Centre and the Malta Digital Hub, houses the Malta Medicines Authority alongside pharmaceutical, medical-technology, software and laboratory-services companies. According to INDIS, Mater Dei Hospital, the Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Hospital and the University of Malta in neighbouring Msida are within walking distance. San Ġwann also borders St Julian's, home to Portomaso Business Tower, and Birkirkara, close to the Mrieħel commercial and financial area.

Frequently asked questions — San Ġwann

How soon could a new website with a careers section be ready for our next hiring round?

For a company website with a careers section, plan on four to eight weeks from the kick-off workshop to launch. If a role is urgent, we can publish a careers page with the open positions and a mobile application form first, then complete the rest of the site. Software takes longer: a clearly defined tool such as an applicant-tracking dashboard or an onboarding app typically needs eight to twelve weeks, while larger platforms are delivered in several stages. What stretches a schedule most often is not development but input, such as job descriptions, sign-offs from HR or quality management and access to existing systems. You can review every interim version in a test environment before anything goes live.

We are a pharma, food or software company. What would a project with you involve?

That depends on whom you need to convince. Pharmaceutical, medtech and laboratory-services firms in the Malta Life Sciences Park typically need a website that explains complex services clearly to international partners, a client area with controlled access to documents, or an internal tool that keeps track of requests, approvals and deadlines. Food and beverage producers selling abroad benefit from a multilingual product website and a B2B ordering portal for distributors. Software companies at the Malta Digital Hub usually need a focused product site, a careers page and a customer dashboard. Whatever the sector, we begin by identifying the process that costs your team the most time, then decide with you whether a website, a portal or an internal tool will solve it.

Where do prices start for web design in San Ġwann and for custom software development?

A company website starts at €3,000; custom software and web applications start at €15,000. A careers section with job listings and an application form usually fits within a website project, whereas a full applicant-tracking system with interfaces to your HR software counts as custom software. The final figure depends on the number of languages, the integrations required and how much content we produce together. Before we quote, we hold a free initial consultation to pin down the scope. You then receive a fixed price that holds as long as the scope stays the same, invoiced in euros, so no currency conversion is involved. Larger projects can be split into phases, each with its own fixed price.

Is a B2B website with a careers page subject to the European Accessibility Act?

Not necessarily. Since 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act has applied across the EU to many consumer-facing digital services, for example online shops and other e-commerce functions. A purely informational B2B website or a careers page often falls outside its scope, and micro-enterprises providing services are exempt. Accessibility still pays off: some applicants rely on screen readers, magnification or a keyboard alone, and an application form they cannot complete quietly costs you candidates. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA as standard, with a clear heading structure, sufficient contrast, keyboard operation and forms that explain errors. If you sell directly to consumers, we review the relevant parts of your site with you. The legal assessment itself remains with your advisers.

With the University of Malta within walking distance of the industrial estate, your next lab analyst or developer may well find your vacancy on a phone between lectures. Make sure the page they land on does you justice. Tell us which roles are hard to fill or which process slows your team down; we reply with an initial assessment and, after a call, a fixed-price quote in euros.
