Web development
We take pride in being able to offer technically advanced solutions with a focus on quality and a strong security mindset.
What we do
Systems development
The core of our technical work is advanced system development in .NET Core/C#, React and Vue. Around that we use a broad palette of technical platforms, tools and cloud services to build advanced digital solutions for our customers.
These can include web applications, apps, APIs, websites, administrative systems, scalable cloud solutions, e-commerce solutions and much more. We have solid expertise in this and clear proof of that is that we are ranked number one in Sweden for digital competence when customers have had their say in the major agency survey Agency of the Year 2023.

Our technology portfolio
We aim to maintain a high technical standard in what we deliver and have therefore developed a balanced technology portfolio that contains the tools we need to be able to build what we want — and need — to build for our customers.
We work with
- .NET Core and C#
- Microsoft technologies and Microsoft environments e.g. Azure Cloud, DevOps, Cognitive Search, SQL Server, Visual Studio, VS Code, among others
- React and Vue in TypeScript
- React Native
- Optimizely (Episerver) and Umbraco
We do not/rarely work with
- Java (Spring), PHP (Laravel, Symfony), Python (Django, Flask) and Ruby (Ruby on Rails)
- Linux and Apache
- Angular
- Drupal, Joomla
Here there are of course exceptions and we operate in a grey area. One example is Node. At the time of writing we have no client projects running on Node, but we of course use Node in our work anyway to handle build jobs or set up mock servers. The same goes for Python. We almost never code in Python but we have incorporated Python code as part of other systems because it was the optimal solution in those projects. We see ourselves as selective without being narrow-minded.
Various types of projects
A typical example of projects is web-based applications with a JavaScript-driven client built in React or Vue with an API to a middleware layer. We use this to gather and integrate a wide range of subsystems that the application depends on, e.g. business systems, order and inventory systems, PIMs, Bank ID, headless CMSs and so on
It varies from project to project and we choose the technology we like and trust. Looking more closely at our projects, they involve technologies such as React, Vue, TypeScript, .NET Core/C#, Umbraco, Vite, Redis, YARP, OpenAPI, SQL Server, Node, Azure DevOps, Azure Cognitive Search and so on - the list can be long
It is not uncommon that we build solutions with a CMS as the base. However, the CMS is only part of the solution and integrations with a number of other systems are usually required to create the whole. The CMS’s role is to manage content because it is built for that, but a typical website for our customers also consists of features and data. We retrieve data from other systems and integrate it with the CMS, and we build the features around the CMS
Working at an agency
Working as a systems developer at a digital agency is different from working at a product company or as a contracted consultant. We do work on similar things, but in a different way.
At a product company you work continuously on the same product within the same industry. At an agency we constantly take on new assignments that involve building different kinds of products across widely varying sectors. That makes the workweeks more varied and with each new assignment we gain invaluable experience from a new industry with new, exciting problems to solve and become very quick on our feet internally.
The consulting industry is based on being hired out to someone else, sitting at the client and working according to their processes. At Limetta we do not hire out our employees — we focus on building strong teams internally. We have the great luxury of, within reasonable limits, being able to choose which clients and projects we want to work with and of making our own decisions about how we want to work and organize ourselves
Working as a software developer at Limetta
Limetta has a joint development team
We have chosen not to split our technical expertise into a frontend and a backend team. Our developers have different roles and areas of expertise, but the point of having a joint development team is that our projects require very close technical collaboration to be able to deliver at the high level we do, and it’s therefore good that we don’t divide ourselves into silos.
Limetta is neither a tech agency nor a UX and design agency - we are a full-service agency
The development team is admittedly the largest team at Limetta, but that doesn't mean Limetta only focuses on technology. Technology needs a purpose, usability and design to have an impact, and here the technical team works closely with the UX and design team.
Limetta has employees across Sweden
Our office is located in central Stockholm, but many of our developers work from other locations around the country, from Malmö in the south to Luleå in the north. Even those who live in Stockholm often choose to alternate between working from home and from the office.
Projects at Limetta
Most of our new development takes place in project form and a project team typically consists of a project manager, a strategist, one or more software developers (both backend and frontend), a UX designer and a graphic designer. The constellations can vary depending partly on which project phase you are in and partly on the project's focus.
At the start of a project there is a lot that needs to be mapped out, sorted and planned. Here the creative team outlines a clear strategy, metrics, the different needs, user experience and design language while the tech team inventories data sources, plans APIs and establishes a technical architecture. A little later in the project the focus often shifts from exploration and planning to production. That work takes place in sprints with Jira as the planning tool.
In technology-focused projects we often spend a lot of time on a technical feasibility study. Where needed we build a prototype as a "proof-of-concept" to ensure that our ideas will work in practice. In a technical project the majority of the time also tends to be spent on system development itself since that is the core of the delivery.
Many projects are also run together with external consultants who work on site at our clients. It is not uncommon for clients themselves to be responsible for adapting their own systems for a service that Limetta then builds on top of them. Our clients often have a high degree of digital maturity and their digital services are often the heart of their business. Therefore they have their own teams working on these services, but they need us for specialist expertise and an outside-in perspective. As software developers at Limetta we build strong ties both with our colleagues internally and with developers on site at our clients.
Sweden's best agency
We've been awarded "Agency of the Year" on four occasions in the category of large digital agencies. Here it's our customers who have rated us — not a jury. For those of us working at Limetta, it's concrete proof that our clients like what we build, that we can compete successfully, and that our consistent focus on recruiting only the best software developers in Sweden pays off.
For anyone considering applying for a job with us, it's a promise that you won't be left behind but will become part of an experienced team working with advanced software development, modern technologies and exciting projects.
