Ordering a web application isn't the same as ordering a website — an application runs specific business processes, and its code stays with you for years. If it's built in a way only its author understands, you've bought yourself a problem with a delay, not a tool.
A web application your team takes over, instead of inheriting it as a puzzle
Web Application
Ordering a web application isn't the same as ordering a website — an application runs specific business processes, and its code stays with you for years. If it's built in a way only its author understands, you've bought yourself a problem with a delay, not a tool.
Someone in charge of IT at a mid-sized company knows exactly what they're most afraid of: inheriting code with no documentation, written in a technology nobody on the team knows and nobody wants to learn for a single project. It's happened before — the vendor disappears, and the company is left with an application no one can extend, or even safely update.
This isn't a theoretical scenario. It's the most common reason companies with an in-house IT team approach ordering software more cautiously than they approach ordering a website — and rightly so.
We build web applications on a standard technology stack, with documentation and code structure your team can actually take over after handover — not a bespoke solution understood only by its author.
We work on established, widely used technologies — if in a specific case we propose something non-standard, you get a written justification for why that particular solution is better. We set up the code repository under your account from day one of work, so your team sees progress as it happens, not only at the end of the project.
What we don't do: we don't start writing code before you've approved a functional wireframe of the application. Skipping that step is the most common reason an application ends up doing something different from what was assumed at the start, months into the work.
What you get
- A team that can maintain the application on its ownThe code is documented and written in standard technology, so your IT department can extend it without having to reverse-engineer how it works.
- Fewer costly fixes after the factYou approve the wireframe before a single line of code is written — assumption problems surface before they get expensive.
- Full rights to the codeThe application is your asset, not a license you rent from us — full rights to the code and source files go to you.
- Payment for progress you can seeWe bill in stages, after each is accepted — you see a working piece of the application before paying for the next one.
On a call we show live applications from our portfolio and the documentation structure we hand over at delivery — you can judge the quality of the code and documentation yourself instead of relying on claims.
Scope and pricing
The service covers requirements analysis and a functional wireframe, an architecture design matched to your company's scale, implementation on a standard technology stack, functional testing, and technical documentation with training for your team.
- A workshop to define requirements and application features.
- A functional wireframe for approval.
- Architecture design and staged implementation.
- Functional testing.
- Handover with documentation and team training.
You get a price after the requirements workshop — it depends on the number and complexity of features, the number of integrations with other systems, and the expected number of concurrent users. You pay for each stage after it's accepted, not the whole project upfront.
Our guarantees
Wireframe before code. You approve the functional wireframe before a single line of code is written — this removes the risk of a gap between what was assumed and what gets delivered.
Repository from day one. We set up the code under your account from day one, so it's never held hostage to continued cooperation with us.
Documentation as a condition of handover. Technical documentation and team training are a condition of delivery, not an add-on option.
Standard stack or a written justification. We work on widely known technologies — any departure from that standard comes with a written justification from us.
Availability
Building a web application takes anywhere from a few to several dozen weeks depending on the complexity of the features — we set the exact schedule after the requirements workshop and split it into stages with a fixed scope. We plan our development team's availability for new projects ahead of time, so reaching out earlier gives you more flexibility on the start date.
Book a requirements workshop
Write to us describing the process the application should streamline or replace. We'll book a requirements workshop, after which you'll get a concrete feature scope and a quote.
What waiting costs you
The later you start, the later your team gets a tool that actually takes work off its plate — that's a simple consequence of the schedule, not a push toward a fast decision.
In short
Application built on a standard technology stack, not a bespoke solution only one person understands · functional wireframe approved before a single line of code · code repository under your account from day one · full technical documentation and team training included · payment after each stage of work is accepted.
Frequently asked questions
Will my IT department be able to maintain the application on its own after handover?
Yes, that's one of our core commitments — we work on a standard stack and hand over full technical documentation, so your team doesn't need to guess how something works.
How does a web application differ from a regular website?
A website presents information; a web application runs specific processes and business logic — bookings, calculations, customer data management. It's a different level of complexity and a different type of project.
Can new features be added to the application after launch?
Yes, we design the architecture with future growth in mind — new features get added as further stages of work, without rebuilding the whole thing.
What happens if we want to switch maintenance providers after handover?
The repository has been under your account from day one, and the documentation is written for handover to a different team, not just to us.
How is the application tested before acceptance?
Functional testing happens at the stage before acceptance — we verify the application delivers the features agreed in the approved wireframe before considering a stage complete.
