FAQ
How much does a custom web app cost?
Smaller web apps and portals typically cost £4,000–£7,500. Larger platforms with several integrations, complex permissions, or mobile apps usually cost £7,500–£10,000 or more. Changes to an existing app are usually billed at £50–£120 per hour.
What technology do you use?
Next.js and React for the interface, Node.js for APIs, and PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB for data, deployed with automated CI/CD. It's a mainstream stack, so it's easy to hire for later.
Can you work on our existing application?
Usually, yes. We review the codebase on a call and tell you honestly what state it's in and what it needs.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We're happy to sign a mutual NDA before you share details of your product.
