End-to-end web applications

What you get

The outcomes we hold ourselves to on this work. If we cannot commit to them for your project, we say so during scoping rather than after the invoice.

• A working product in production, not a prototype that stalls at 80%
• Type-safe contracts shared between the Next.js frontend and the API
• Documented architecture your in-house team can pick up without us
• Performance budgets enforced in CI — Core Web Vitals in the green

Deliverables

Everything on this list is handed over and documented. Anything outside it is quoted before it is built.

• Architecture document and data model
• Next.js App Router frontend with design system
• FastAPI or Node backend with OpenAPI schema
• Authentication, roles and permissions
• Automated tests and CI pipeline
• Production deployment plus staging environment

Typical timeline

Most engagements of this type run 4–12 weeks end to end. Step four absorbs the difference between the short and long end of that range.

1. Discovery call

   30 minutes, free

   We walk through what you are building, who it is for, and what has to be true for the project to count as a success. You leave with a rough scope, a rough number and an honest read on whether we are the right team.

   You receive: Written scope summary within 24 hours

2. Proposal & fixed scope

   2–3 days

   A written proposal: milestones, deliverables, timeline, price and explicit exclusions. No hourly surprises — you approve a scope, and changes to it are quoted before any work starts.

   You receive: Proposal, contract and milestone schedule

3. Architecture & design

   Week 1

   Data model, API contracts and infrastructure plan on paper before code. UI work starts in Figma so you approve screens rather than reviewing half-built pages.

   You receive: Architecture doc, ER diagram, approved designs

4. Build in weekly sprints

   Bulk of the project

   Working software every week on a staging URL you can click through. A short written update each Friday: what shipped, what is next, anything blocking. You are never guessing where the project stands.

   You receive: Staging environment, weekly demo and written update

5. Test, harden & launch

   Final 1–2 weeks

   Automated tests in CI, load and failure-path testing, security review, performance budgets, then a rehearsed deploy with a rollback plan. Launch day is uneventful by design.

   You receive: Test suite, CI pipeline, production deployment

6. Handover & support

   Ongoing

   Documentation, a recorded walkthrough and a 30-day warranty on everything we shipped. If you want us to keep operating it, a maintenance retainer picks up from there.

   You receive: Docs, walkthrough video, 30-day warranty

Questions we get asked

Can you take over an existing codebase?

Yes. We start with a paid audit week — we map the code, the data model and the deploy path, then give you a written risk list and a plan before writing a line of feature code.

Who owns the code?

You do, from the first commit. We work in your repository, or hand over a repo with full history at the end of the engagement.
