Custom Web Application Development
We build customer portals, internal tools, and SaaS MVPs. We help define the first release, develop the interface and backend, connect the required services, and launch the application for users.
Internal tools start at $5,400. Applications and SaaS MVPs are $10,800–$18,000 for an agreed initial scope. After scoping, we provide a fixed-price estimate for the project or phase. Improvements to an existing application are estimated separately. All prices are in USD.
No technical specification needed to get started. We reply within one business day. Tell us who will use the application and what they need to do.
What Should Your Application Help People Do?
Bring an Internal Workflow into One Application
Give your team a place to process requests, review records, assign tasks, and track statuses. We examine how the work happens now, where people repeat the same actions, and which systems need to stay connected.
Let Customers Take Action Independently
A portal where customers can submit information, upload documents, track a request, or manage an account. We define customer actions and the tools your team will need to handle their requests.
Launch a SaaS MVP
Build an initial release for a specific user and a useful task. Accounts, payments, permissions, and administration are included where that release needs them; each component is defined in the scope.
Develop an Existing Application
Add a workflow, improve a slow operation, or resume stalled development. Before recommending the next phase, we review the code, data, deployment, and known issues.
For a task focused on connecting existing systems, see API development. For a public business website, see website development.
UnveilYou: An Education Platform with a Member Dashboard
We developed a platform where users access learning materials and track their progress. The project combines a Next.js and React interface, a Symfony backend API, authentication, payments, video, and a community. Keycloak, Stripe, Mux, and Discourse support these functions.
The project shows how a user interface, data, and external services work within one product.
Web Application Development Costs
Our estimating rate is $90/hour for architecture, design, frontend, backend, testing, and documentation. We fix the estimate for a defined project or phase. Exceeding our internal estimate does not, by itself, increase your bill; new requirements are estimated before work begins. The following are budget guides, with all prices in USD.
The range for a limited-scope application corresponds to approximately 120–200 hours at the published rate. Hours represent estimated effort; the calendar schedule accounts for the sequence of phases, checks, and reviews. This is a guide for a limited scope: several complex workflows, numerous integrations, or a large data migration may require a larger budget.
The estimate specifies screens, roles, integrations, data work, checks, and launch responsibilities. If a paid assessment is needed to resolve technical uncertainty, we agree on it before starting.
A small internal tool may take a few weeks; an application with a limited set of workflows may take around two months. We agree on the schedule after assessing scope, dependencies, access, and your team's availability to review the work. Larger platforms are planned in phases.
Hosting, external APIs, email delivery, payment processing, and other third-party expenses are charged separately. During estimation, we identify likely services and expected usage. Additional ongoing work starts at $1,000/month; responsibilities and expected response times are agreed separately.
What Goes into the First Release?
Together, we describe who uses the application, which task they need to complete, and how to check the result. You do not need to prepare a technical specification in advance: the decisions below become the basis of the proposal.
For example, a first customer portal release might let a customer submit a request with documents, a staff member review it and change its status, and the system notify the customer. That scope also needs rules for file access, incomplete information, and undelivered notifications.
This illustrates how we describe a release. Your estimate is based on your processes and requirements.
An MVP for Your First Users
We choose the main task and the users the MVP will serve. For acceptance, we verify that the application performs the agreed workflow. After launch, you can assess its usefulness with real users: for example, whether they start using a feature, return, or pay for the service, depending on your hypothesis.
We discuss events and measurement methods while defining the first release. The scope of product analytics setup is specified in the proposal.
Advanced reporting, additional roles, multiple subscription tiers, and secondary integrations can wait if the first workflow does not need them. We explicitly identify manual work your team will handle during the pilot and account for that work when choosing the scope.
You receive the project code and a documented foundation for development. New requirements and increasing load may require refactoring or architectural changes; the first estimate covers the agreed release and workload.
How Development and Launch Work
- 01
Understand the process
We review the brief, users, existing tools, sample data, and constraints.
- 02
Define the release
We agree on screens, data exchange, permissions, acceptance criteria, exclusions, and the estimate.
- 03
Develop in stages
We show working scenarios as they become available. Two rounds of revisions per stage are included before launch, within the chosen direction. Changes to the approved scope are estimated before implementation.
- 04
Check the agreed behavior
We test the main workflows, access boundaries, significant failures, and performance under a defined load.
- 05
Deploy and verify
We launch the application, connect the domain, configure the agreed monitoring, and check key actions in production. Operational arrangements define who watches notifications and responds to incidents after handover. If you manage the infrastructure, we establish release responsibilities in advance.
- 06
Hand over the project and plan development
You receive access, the repository, operating documentation, and instructions for agreed administrative tasks. A 30-day defect-fix warranty starts after acceptance of the launched project. For phases launched and accepted separately, warranty boundaries are defined separately; see the acceptance and warranty terms.
Development After the First Release
After launching an MVP or initial release, we can continue developing the application. New features, additional integrations, and work to support increased load are estimated separately at $90/hour (USD). Before each phase, we agree on priorities, estimated hours, budget, and acceptance criteria.
The first-release price covers the agreed initial scope. Further product development and ongoing support are planned separately; defects covered by the warranty are addressed under its terms.
Access, Failures, and Data Recovery
Different users need different access.
We implement and test the agreed permissions for records and actions, including separation of customer organizations' data where required.
An external service can fail.
We define what users see when a payment, file upload, or external service fails, and how the system and your team can recover the workflow. Handling repeated actions, retries, and data reconciliation is included where the workflow requires it.
Data needs an operational plan.
For backups, recovery, retention, and exports, we define the data covered, procedures, and responsible parties. Project handover records the agreed procedures and the results of planned checks.
Performance is tested under a defined load.
Before testing, we establish data volumes, concurrent actions, and acceptable response times. Future growth may require additional resources or development.
Requirements for sensitive data and regulated processes need to be identified during discovery so that necessary measures, providers, and responsibilities can be included in the scope.
The Team's Engineering Experience
Anton Byvshev leads iQyra's engineering work and has more than 20 years of software experience.
His work at previous employers includes APIs and internal tools for a national bank's online mortgage platform, as well as backend systems for large catalogs and inventory management.
That experience informs decisions about data, permissions, integrations, and failure handling. Anton participates in engineering and implementation review. We use AI tools for development and checking; the team remains responsible for the result.
MedSpaCopy
We are developing MedSpaCopy, a product with a React interface and a custom API for content diagnostics and reporting. Registration and payment workflows are part of its development scope.
Working on our own product lets us consider the interface, backend, and operations as connected parts of one project.
Meet the Team and Explore Our ProjectsQuestions Before You Get in Touch
Can You Add AI Features?+
Yes. We can assess document search, data search, or assistance with content creation. We first define the task, examples for evaluating quality, data access, human involvement, and usage costs, then decide how to integrate the feature into the application.
Can Our Team Manage the Application?+
We agree on the tools needed, such as user management, record editing, and exports. The project includes the administrative functions specified in its scope. A CMS can be added for editorial content where needed; application administration requires separately defined screens and permissions.
Is a Public Marketing Website Included?+
If it is specified in the estimate. A SaaS website, pricing pages, and a blog have their own content and design scope, separate from the product. For public pages included in the project, we plan a search-informed structure and check that the main content is accessible to search engines and AI search.
Which Technologies Do You Use?+
We use React and Next.js for interfaces, and Go, Python, TypeScript/Node.js, or PHP for the backend, depending on the project. Data storage, hosting, and integrations are selected around application requirements. For work with a specific framework, see Next.js development.
Will We Own the Code and Accounts?+
You own the code created for your project and receive repository access and documentation at handover. Account ownership and access are agreed from the start. Pre-existing tools and third-party licenses are identified in the scope; see the ownership terms.
Can You Support the Application After Launch?+
Yes. Monitoring, updates, incident handling, and further development can be part of a paid support agreement. We define coverage and expected response times. The defect warranty and ongoing operations have separate scopes.
When Is Custom Development Needed?+
We first check whether an existing product or connections between systems can solve the task. Look beyond launch costs to how well the solution fits your process, access to data, and ongoing maintenance.
The first release should test the required workflow rather than reproduce every feature of a large platform.
Let's Discuss Your Application
A short description is enough: “Users need to be able to ___, and our team needs to ___.” For an existing application, add a link and explain what needs to change. Include a prototype, integrations, budget, and preferred date if you already know them.
We reply within one business day. We'll clarify the questions and determine whether there is enough information for an estimate or whether an assessment is needed first. If the assessment is paid, we agree on its deliverable and cost in advance.
