# Custom Software Development

We build web applications, customer portals, backends and integrations tailored exactly to your requirements. From architecture through development to deployment – everything from one source.

We develop custom software solutions with enterprise-grade engineering practices: CI/CD pipelines, comprehensive test coverage, observability, and security by design. We build web frontends with Next.js 16 and React Server Components (edge caching, SSR/SSG); Core Web Vitals and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility are checked continuously. From requirements analysis through UI/UX design to implementation with defined SLOs – we guide you through the entire development process with agile methods and modern tech stack.

## Perfect For



Ideal for companies that need a web application, portal or backend that off-the-shelf software cannot cover. For CTOs and founders who want scalable software that grows with the business – without compromising on security and operations.

## How we work on it

- Sprint — 4 weeks · fixed price after scoping: Four weeks on one goal, with something that runs at the end.
- Build & Support — after scoping, ongoing · fixed price after scoping; support billed monthly: We build the project out and stay alongside you once it is live.

### How it runs

- **W1 — Sprint: Discovery & Architecture**: Clarify requirements and goals, define architecture and data model, select the core slice for the beta
- **W2-3 — Sprint: Build the core slice**: Implement the most important workflow with database, authentication and first integrations; demo at the end of every week
- **W4 — Sprint: Runnable beta**: Testing, security review and deployment to a production-like environment; you receive a runnable beta with documentation
- **Build — Build & Support: Expansion in stages**: Further features, integrations and scaling in stages after scoping, with a demo after each stage; plus operations, updates and monitoring

### FAQ

**How long does a custom development project typically take?**

We start with a Sprint of about four weeks: the goal is a runnable beta of the most important workflow in production-like quality, tested and documented. Everything else we build in stages in the Build & Support format, with a demo after each stage. How many stages your project needs is defined after scoping. The Sprint is offered at a fixed price after scoping, with a quote within 48 hours.

**How do you handle feedback and iterations?**

During the Sprint you see the current state in a demo every week. In the Build & Support format, every stage ends with a demo and a feedback session. Changes are prioritized in the backlog and taken into the next stage based on business value.

**What does the development team look like?**

Typically 3-5 dedicated specialists: frontend developer, backend developer, UI/UX designer, QA engineer, and a project manager. Team size scales with project needs.

**Do you provide maintenance after launch?**

Yes. In the Build & Support format we handle bug fixes, security updates, performance monitoring and feature enhancements. Ongoing support is billed monthly; scope and term are agreed in the contract.

**Can the application scale as my business grows?**

Absolutely. We architect for scalability from day one using cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), microservices patterns, and database optimization strategies.
