Custom Web Development

Both. We frequently take over existing Next.js, React, or Node.js codebases — adding features, refactoring problem areas, or extending the architecture. We'll review the codebase before scoping so there are no surprises about what we're inheriting.

Yes. Every web project we deliver includes a content management system (Payload CMS by default) that lets your team update pages, add blog posts, manage products, and edit site content without touching code. We configure it for your specific needs and document it during handoff.

Yes. We set up staging and production environments, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring as part of every project. We can deploy to your preferred cloud provider (AWS, Vercel, DigitalOcean, or a self-hosted VPS) or set up new infrastructure if you don't have any. Hosting costs are separate from our build fee.

Yes — multi-tenant architecture is part of our standard web app toolkit. We handle team workspaces, per-tenant data isolation, role-based permissions, and tenant-level billing with Stripe. We'll scope the architecture to your specific requirements during discovery.

An MVP with core functionality runs $20,000–$60,000. A production SaaS with multi-tenancy, billing, admin panel, and integrations typically costs $60,000–$150,000+. The biggest cost drivers are authentication complexity, third-party integrations, and the number of distinct user roles.

A focused MVP with defined scope takes 10–16 weeks. A full SaaS product with payments, onboarding, and admin tooling typically takes 4–7 months. The most common delay is undefined scope at the start — every week of ambiguity at the beginning costs two weeks at the end.

Build an MVP when you haven't validated the core idea with paying users yet. Build the full product when you have validated demand and understand exactly what you're building. The mistake is spending full-product budget on pre-validation assumptions. A well-scoped MVP typically includes the core user flow, authentication, basic data persistence, and enough UI to be usable — nothing more.

The most common causes: scope changes after development starts, unclear requirements for edge cases, third-party API delays or documentation gaps, and underestimated QA time. A well-run discovery phase eliminates most of these before they happen. Projects with a signed-off scope document before development starts run on time significantly more often than those without.

The highest-leverage options: reduce scope ruthlessly (cut features from v1 to v2), use an existing auth provider (Auth.js, Clerk) instead of custom auth, use Stripe's hosted checkout instead of a custom payment UI, choose a tech stack your development team already knows well, and start with a component library like shadcn/ui rather than custom pixel-perfect design.
