Question 1

What is a web application and how is it different from a website?

Accepted Answer

A website is mostly static content (pages, articles, products). A web application is interactive software that runs in the browser — dashboards, portals, SaaS platforms, collaboration tools, or customer-facing apps with real-time data and user accounts.

Question 2

How much does a custom web application cost?

Accepted Answer

Web applications typically range from $5,999 to $50,000+ depending on scope and complexity. Simple dashboards and portals start at $5,999; multi-tenant SaaS platforms are quoted per project based on features and scale.

Question 3

How long does it take to build a web application?

Accepted Answer

Most web apps take 8–20 weeks: discovery and architecture (2 weeks), design (2–3 weeks), build with weekly demos (4–14 weeks), and launch with QA (1 week). Complex SaaS platforms can take 4–9 months.

Question 4

Which tech stack do you build web applications on?

Accepted Answer

We build on Next.js, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and TypeScript as defaults. For real-time features we use WebSockets or Supabase Realtime. For AI features we integrate Claude, GPT, or open-source models.

Question 5

Do you handle hosting, scaling, and monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deploy on Vercel, AWS, or your cloud of choice. Auto-scaling, SSL, CDN, error monitoring (Sentry), and uptime monitoring are all configured at launch. Care plans cover ongoing maintenance.

Question 6

Can the web app integrate with our existing tools and APIs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We integrate with Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Zapier, Stripe, Mada, Apple Pay, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and any REST/GraphQL API. Custom integrations and middleware are part of our standard work.
