PROJECT TYPE · WEB APPLICATIONS

Web apps built to outlive the launch.

Real software in the browser: auth, data, dashboards, and workflows. We build web applications that a team can run and extend long after we hand them over.

[THE SHORT VERSION]

A web app is software, not a website.

The line that matters: a marketing site presents content, a web application does work. Auth, roles, data models, integrations, and stateful workflows. That distinction drives the whole build. We treat a web app like the long-lived system it is: typed, tested, observable, and yours at handoff.

When it fits
  • Internal or customer-facing tools with real workflows
  • Dashboards, portals, and data-heavy products
  • Anything past the reach of a CMS or no-code tool
When it does not
  • A content site, which is a marketing website build
  • A native-feature-heavy product, which leans mobile
[HOW WE BUILD IT]

How we build with Web application development.

01

Model the domain

We start with the data and the workflows, not the screens. The schema and the API contract come first.

02

Build on Next.js + Postgres

Typed end to end, server-first rendering, and a database designed for the real queries. Boring foundation, modern surface.

03

Eval and test the seams

Automated tests on auth, data, and the workflows that break. We measure before we ship.

04

Ship and hand over

Deployed with monitoring, documented, and handed over with full source ownership and a 90-day warranty.

[COMMON QUESTIONS]

Questions we get asked.

How is this different from a marketing website?
A marketing site presents content and optimizes for SEO and conversion. A web application does work: it has accounts, permissions, data, and workflows. The engineering, testing, and architecture are a different order of effort.
What stack do you use?
Usually Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend and API, PostgreSQL for data, and Cloudflare or a Node runtime for hosting. We choose per project, but we default to typed, boring, well-supported tools.
