Platforms we build, host and still run
Every system below is one we designed, built and still operate, on the same stack we use for client work.
A custom web development project ends with four things in your hands: the running system, the repository, the documentation and a walkthrough. We can also host and monitor it.
Prefer a ready-made system? See RIVER ERP for operations or RAIN Store for online shops.
Custom platforms
Systems built around your operation
Staff, clients and admins see different screens and data. Roles, history and audit trails are designed in from the first cycle.
- Roles, permissions and an audit trail
- Connects to the tools you already use
- You own the code and the documentation
APIs and integrations
Clean, documented, secured APIs
An API links your mobile app, partners and automation. We build it to be operated, with versions, tokens and logs.
- REST APIs with authentication and rate limits
- Webhooks and background queues
- Versioned and documented
Process
How a build runs
From first call to production, in short and visible cycles.
01
Discover
We map goals, constraints and the current system, then agree what goes live first.
02
Design
Architecture and screens are agreed before code is written.
03
Build
Short cycles end with working software on a preview link you can open.
04
Harden
Security checks, performance work, backups and monitoring before launch.
05
Operate
Hosting, support and steady improvement, by us or by your own team.
FAQ
Custom web development questions, answered.
What technical buyers ask before committing to a build.
Scope decides. Custom web development projects start at $10,000, scoped up front with a fixed price and milestones. We scope it, quote it and start within 3 to 5 business days.
2
Which stack do you use, and why?
Next.js and React on the front end, Laravel and Node on the back end, MySQL, SQLite and Redis for data, Linux and Docker for hosting. It is reliable and well supported, so your system stays easy to operate and hire for.
3
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We start with a short technical audit that maps risk and debt. Many projects begin by stabilising and modernising what exists instead of rewriting it from zero.
4
How do you handle security?
Authentication, role-based access, input validation, security headers and hardened servers are standard on every build, not a paid add-on.
5
Will we own the code?
Yes. You receive the repository, the documentation and a walkthrough. There is no lock-in, so you can extend the system, host it elsewhere or hand it to another team.
