Web app development
A studio service
React and Next.js. Fast by default.
Web applications built for the product use case — dashboards, portals, and full platform builds. Server-side rendering, Core Web Vitals by default, and a codebase the next engineer can read.
N° 01What web app development means here
Beyond the marketing site
A web app is software that runs in the browser and changes state: it reads data, writes data, responds to user actions, and behaves differently for different users. A marketing site is a document. We build the former.
Web apps are the natural choice for products that need to be accessible across devices without an App Store download, or where the complexity of the UI suits a large screen and a keyboard better than a mobile touch interface.
N° 02What we build
Web app categories
01
Dashboards & Analytics
Data-dense interfaces for operators, analysts, and power users. Real-time updates, filter-heavy query interfaces, and the chart library that doesn't collapse at scale.
02
Customer Portals
Self-service portals for your customers: account management, order history, document upload, support ticketing. Reduces support load, increases customer satisfaction.
03
Internal Tools
The admin panels, ops dashboards, and workflow tools that your team uses every day. Built properly rather than accumulated as a pile of Retool workarounds.
04
Product Platforms
Full web application products: authenticated, multi-tenant, subscription-billed, with the feature set your users are willing to pay for.
N° 03Technical approach
Fast by default. Maintainable forever
React and Next.js for the frontend: server-side rendering for public pages, client-side rendering for interactive application views. The choice of which to use where is a performance decision, not a religious one.
Data layer: Supabase (Postgres + real-time + auth) for most projects. Custom PostgreSQL with a Node.js or Python API for complex data models or regulated environments that can't use managed infrastructure.
We write code that the next engineer can read. No unnecessary abstraction, no framework maximalism, no dependency choices made for novelty. The codebase you receive should be maintainable without us.
N° 04Performance
Core Web Vitals by default
Every web app we ship is measured against Core Web Vitals before launch: Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, Interaction to Next Paint. We don't treat these as an afterthought — they are design constraints from the first architecture decision.
Caching strategy, image optimisation, bundle splitting, and edge deployment are all included in our standard build process. You don't need to ask for fast — it's the default.

- 30-day defect warranty
Questions
The answers we give most often.
- React vs Next.js — which do you use?
- Next.js for most projects — it gives us server-side rendering, edge functions, and image optimisation out of the box. Pure React for SPAs where the app is entirely client-side. We explain the recommendation in discovery.
- Can you build the backend as well?
- Yes. Full-stack delivery is our default: frontend, API, database, and infrastructure. We don't deliver a frontend and leave you to figure out the API.
- How long does a web app take?
- A focused dashboard or portal runs eight to twelve weeks. A full product platform with auth, billing, and admin runs twelve to twenty weeks.
- What does it cost?
- Dashboards and portals start at $18,000. Full product platforms start at $28,000. Fixed-scope proposals after discovery.
- Do you support real-time features?
- Yes — WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, and Supabase real-time are all in our toolkit. Real-time requirements are assessed in discovery.
- Can you add web app functionality to an existing site?
- Yes — extension engagements are common. We scope the integration boundaries in discovery and give you an honest view of what's additive and what requires a rewrite.
- How do we start?
- Use the contact form with a brief description of the app, your user types, and your timeline. We'll respond within two business days.
