Custom Web Applications Built Around Your Business, Not the Other Way Around

Off-the-shelf software forces you to adapt your workflows to its limitations. We build applications that match your exact business logic, scale with your growth, and remain fully under your control.

Custom Web Applications

Bespoke web applications engineered from the ground up to solve your specific business challenges, automate your workflows, and give you a competitive advantage no template can replicate.

What's Included

Everything you get with our Custom Web Applications

Technical Architecture Document

Complete system design including data models, API contracts, infrastructure topology, and deployment strategy before any code is written

Full Source Code Ownership

You own 100% of the codebase, hosted in your repository, with no vendor lock-in or proprietary dependencies

Automated Test Suite

Unit, integration, and end-to-end tests that run on every commit, catching the bugs that IBM says cost 6x more to fix in production

How We Build Custom Web Applications

1

Discovery and Requirements

We map your business processes, data flows, and user journeys in detail. This phase produces a technical requirements document, wireframes, and a system architecture diagram that becomes the blueprint for development.

2

Architecture and Design

We define database schemas, API contracts, authentication flows, and deployment infrastructure before writing application code. IBM research shows catching design issues here costs 6x less than fixing them in production.

3

Iterative Development

We build in 2-week sprints, delivering working features at the end of each cycle. You review real software, not slide decks, and provide feedback that shapes the next iteration.

4

Testing and Deployment

Automated test suites, staging environment validation, and zero-downtime deployment pipelines ensure your application launches reliably and stays stable as your team pushes updates.

Key Benefits

Exact-fit business logic

Your application mirrors your actual workflows, approval chains, and data structures instead of forcing your team into a generic tool's assumptions. This eliminates the spreadsheet workarounds and manual processes that plague off-the-shelf deployments.

Scalable from day one

We design stateless architectures with horizontal scaling, database indexing strategies, and caching layers built into the initial design, not bolted on when things start breaking under load.

Full code ownership and portability

You own every line of code, stored in your own repository. No vendor lock-in, no licensing fees, no risk of a SaaS provider changing terms or shutting down. Your application is yours to run, modify, or hand off to any team.

Research & Evidence

The Developer Coefficient

Developers spend 42% of their time dealing with technical debt and maintenance of bad code, costing the global economy $85 billion annually

Relative Cost of Fixing Defects

The cost to fix a bug found during production is 6x that of one found during the design phase

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a custom web application make more sense than off-the-shelf software?

When your business processes are your competitive advantage, when you need to integrate deeply with proprietary systems, when existing tools require expensive workarounds, or when you need full control over your data and hosting. If you are paying for SaaS features you do not use while building spreadsheet workarounds for the ones you need, a custom application will likely cost less over 3 years.

How much does a custom web application cost?

Most custom web applications range from $40,000 to $150,000 depending on complexity, integrations, and user scale. We provide fixed-price proposals after a paid discovery phase that fully scopes your requirements. This approach eliminates budget surprises and ensures both sides are aligned before major development begins.

How long does development take?

A focused application with core features typically takes 10 to 16 weeks from kickoff to production launch. We deliver in 2-week sprints, so you see working software within the first month and can begin user testing well before the final release.

What happens after launch?

We offer ongoing maintenance and feature development retainers, but you are never locked in. Because you own the full codebase and we document everything thoroughly, you can bring development in-house or transfer to another team at any time with zero friction.
