Custom Web Apps
Production-Ready Apps. Not Templates.
What We Do
Most businesses outgrow their websites before they realize it. They need systems, not pages. A custom web application is a purpose-built tool that handles real business logic: managing workflows, automating repetitive tasks, integrating with third-party services, and scaling as your user base grows. Off-the-shelf software forces you to adapt your process to its limitations. A custom app adapts to yours.
We build production-grade web applications from the ground up using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. No templates, no page builders, no shortcuts. Every line of code is written for your specific problem. The result is a system that fits precisely, performs reliably, and gives you a competitive advantage that cannot be copied by installing a plugin.
How We Work
Discovery comes before development. We start by mapping your current workflows, identifying where time is lost, where errors happen, and where manual processes create bottlenecks. This phase produces a clear technical specification and a phased build plan with defined milestones. Development happens in two-week sprints. You see working software at the end of each sprint, not after months of silence.
Every sprint ends with a demo, feedback, and a clear plan for the next two weeks. You are never in the dark about what is being built or why. After development, we run a hardening phase covering security, performance testing, and accessibility review. We deploy to your infrastructure, set up monitoring, and hand off with documentation. Post-launch, we offer support retainers for ongoing feature development and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most MVPs ship in 8 to 12 weeks. Full-featured apps with complex integrations take 3 to 6 months. We scope precisely during discovery so there are no surprises.
Our primary stack is Next.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Node.js. We choose tools based on your requirements, not trends.
From scratch. Every architecture decision is made for your specific needs. Templates create technical debt. We build foundations that scale.
We offer ongoing support and maintenance plans. Your app doesn't stop needing attention after it ships. We handle updates, monitoring, and feature additions.
Simple internal tools start around $15,000. Mid-complexity apps with user authentication, dashboards, and integrations range from $30,000 to $80,000. We provide a fixed-price quote after discovery, so you know exactly what you're committing to.
Yes. We audit existing code first to understand quality and architecture. If the foundation is solid, we build on it. If it has serious problems, we explain why and recommend the path that saves you time and money in the long run.
Changes are expected in any real project. We handle them through a structured change request process. Scope changes are assessed, priced, and scheduled before work begins. No surprise invoices.
