Web Development that ships production-grade platforms

We work across the full stack — React, Next.js, Vue, and Angular on the frontend; Node.js, Python/Django, PHP/Laravel, and Java/Spring Boot on the backend; WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow for platform builds; and PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB for databases. Stack selection is driven by your SEO, editorial, scaling, and integration requirements — not a default preference.

We start with a technical and SEO audit: current traffic, indexed pages, inbound links, redirect chain health, page speed, analytics coverage, and CMS complexity. This determines the migration strategy — phased replacement, strangler pattern, or lift-and-shift — and defines rollback criteria and SEO continuity requirements before build starts.

A marketing website with CMS typically takes 6–10 weeks from discovery to launch. A custom web application with backend, auth, integrations, and admin takes 12–20 weeks depending on scope and integration complexity. We scope per-project and publish milestones at kickoff so there are no surprises.

Performance is designed in — not retrofitted. We set Core Web Vitals budgets during architecture, enforce them via CI Lighthouse checks, use server-side rendering or static generation where it benefits SEO, and optimise images, fonts, and scripts by default. Mobile-first responsive design and crawl-accessible routes are part of every project.

Both. Platform-based builds (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow) make sense when editorial control, ecosystem, and speed-to-market matter more than full custom flexibility. Custom builds suit unique workflows, complex integrations, multi-tenant systems, or products that will be extended heavily after launch. We recommend based on your specific needs — not our preferred stack.

A full handover includes: the production repository with branch structure and CI/CD pipelines, deployment runbooks, environment variable documentation, API contract docs or OpenAPI specs, CMS training if applicable, monitoring configuration, and a knowledge-transfer session. The goal is that your internal team — or any future agency — can run and extend the codebase without us.

Security is embedded rather than audited at the end. We follow OWASP Top 10 guidelines, use parameterised queries, enforce least-privilege access, manage secrets via environment variables or secrets managers, scan dependencies for CVEs in CI, configure HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and document credential ownership. For regulated industries, we can produce a security-focused delivery checklist.

Yes — and this is a large share of our work. Internal tools, customer portals, admin dashboards, reporting systems, and SaaS backends follow the same architecture standards as public-facing products: typed APIs, role-based access, observability, CI/CD, and documentation.

All projects include a 2–4 week stabilisation window at no additional cost. After that, we offer Managed Services for ongoing maintenance, performance reviews, feature additions, and monitoring. Clients can also take full ownership — the handover documentation is designed to support that.

We offer project-based pricing for scoped deliverables and retainer models for ongoing build or managed services. Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and timeline requirements. We provide a detailed proposal after a discovery call. See our Pricing page for engagement model details.
