Application Development
Custom web and mobile application development. We build booking platforms, SaaS products and internal tools that handle real users, data and payments.
What we build
We do application development for web and mobile apps that handle something important: bookings, payments, scheduling, customer data. That means booking platforms, SaaS products, and internal tools that replace the spreadsheet three people are afraid to touch. We've built with Next.js, React, Laravel and React Native since 2021, and taken more than ten MVPs from idea to launch. For a first version, what an MVP costs in Europe compares our €4,000 to €25,000 range with market rates.
These apps record, calculate or charge for something, so mistakes cost money.
Get the data model right
The data model matters more than the framework.
Most apps that become painful to change got that way because someone decided the shape of the data in the first week, in a hurry, and everything since was built around it. We spend real time on it up front, with you, in plain language. You won't see it on screen, but you'll feel it for years.
How we work
A short discovery, in writing. What the app has to do, who uses it, what it connects to, and what the first usable version is. You get a document with the scope, stages and cost. It's a fixed price, and the document is yours whether or not we build the app. For a new product, this is the MVP Scoping Sprint: €900, about two weeks, credited against the build.
Stages that each end in something real. You use it, we adjust, then we carry on. Feedback on software you've clicked through is worth more than feedback on a spec.
Tests where they count. We test the paths that cost you money if they break: sign-up, payment, and the two or three actions your product exists for. A pipeline runs those tests on every change and blocks the deploy if they fail.
Already have something half built?
More and more people come to us with an app built in Lovable, v0, Bolt or Cursor that works in a demo but can't safely take real customers. That's a specific job, and it has its own page: prototype to production.
When we'll suggest something else
Sometimes you don't need custom software. If an off-the-shelf product covers eighty per cent of what you need, we'll tell you, even though setting it up is a much smaller job for us. And if rewriting what you have is the fastest route to something you can build on, we'll say so, with the reasoning and the cost, before you spend anything fixing the wrong foundation.
How it works
- Built in stages you can stop
- Apps go wrong by growing. We split the work into stages, and each one ends with something you can use. At every stage you decide whether to carry on, change direction or stop. If you'd have to wait six months to see anything work, that's a gamble.
- Security from day one
- We check permissions on the server, write and test the database rules, and keep secrets out of anything the browser can read. This is cheap while we build the app and expensive once it has real users, so we do it now.
- Built for real traffic
- We write queries that work at ten thousand rows, add indexes where they're needed, paginate every list and move slow work out of the request. Then we measure it, so the numbers we give you come from a test.
- Migrations, backups and staging
- Your database schema goes under version control. We set up backups and restore from one at least once with you watching. Staging is kept separate from production. None of this looks impressive in a demo, and all of it is what makes a product dependable.
- Ready to hand over
- We document the app so your own developers can take it over, or we run it for you each month. We'll tell you which we think fits. Either way, you won't depend on us because nobody wrote anything down.
