Custom web apps and portals built around how your business runs.
When a template cannot do what your business does: customer portals, staff panels, booking and enquiry systems, dashboards and integrations. Built on Next.js and Node.js with a CMS your team can use, and APIs that can power a mobile app later.

Version 1 first, then upgrades.
We launch a complete, working version on a fixed date, then add to it based on how real customers use it. A smaller thing finished, not a bigger thing half done.

Live in about 6 weeks
- The one workflow that matters most, working end to end

Questions about custom web apps and portals
Yes. The code lives in your repository, the hosting is in your account, and the documentation is written so another developer could take over.
Yes. We deploy to your VPS or cloud account and set up backups and monitoring. We have done this for our own platforms.
Small changes are absorbed. Larger ones get a written change note with the effect on timeline and cost before we proceed, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.
We can move an upgrade into version 1 and set a later date; your quote can show both options side by side. Most clients launch first, because real customers using the site show which upgrades are worth paying for.
Content or photos arriving late, more rounds of changes than agreed, or features added after the scope is signed. Your quote lists what we need from you and by when, so the date holds.
