How much does custom web application development cost?
Custom web application development typically ranges from $30k–$80k for an MVP to $250k–$600k+ for a full-scale enterprise platform, depending on integrations, team size, and complexity. We share transparent pricing ranges during discovery so you can budget before committing to a full engagement.
How long does it take to build a web application?
Most web applications reach an initial production release in 3–6 months, assuming a clear scope and a dedicated team. Apps with complex data pipelines or regulatory requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS) run longer. A discovery workshop in week one cuts the ambiguity that would otherwise add months downstream.
What engagement model fits a mid-stage product team?
Time and Materials fits best for mid-stage product teams — you control scope sprint-by-sprint as priorities shift, and billing tracks actual delivery rather than a fixed contract written before edge cases surfaced. Fixed-price works only when requirements are fully locked, which is rare in a growing product.
Who owns the IP and source code?
You own 100% of the IP and source code from day one — no licensing back, no lock-in clauses. Every contract assigns work-for-hire rights to your company, covering all frontend, backend, and infrastructure configuration, regardless of the stack used.
Do you offer post-launch engineering support?
Yes. We offer a post-launch product engineering retainer covering maintenance, performance tuning, feature development, and incident response. The same engineers who built the application stay on — context transfer to a new team is the single most common source of regression bugs after handoff.
How do you handle security, SOC 2, and GDPR compliance?
OWASP Top 10 compliance is our baseline on every web app we ship — input validation, dependency scanning, secrets management, and secure CI/CD are non-negotiable. For SOC 2 and GDPR, we work with your compliance lead to map data flows and build the required technical controls into the application architecture from discovery, not retrofitted post-launch.
