You need a web app built, and you want to hire full stack developers to build it without adding a person to your payroll. We build the whole product, from the screens your users see to the database and the servers behind them.
What full stack covers
A web app has several layers. Full stack means one studio takes care of all of them.
- The frontend is the screens people click, type into and read. We build them in React, or in Next.js when some pages need to show up in search.
- The backend is the logic of your business, such as who can see which records and what happens when an order is placed. We build it in Node.js and TypeScript.
- The database holds your data, in PostgreSQL or in Supabase, which is PostgreSQL with logins and file storage included.
- Accounts let people sign in with email, Google or single sign-on. For payments, Stripe handles one-time payments, subscriptions and invoices.
- Hosting runs your app on Vercel, Cloudflare or your own cloud account. Each approved change goes live automatically, with backups and error alerts in place.
We write every layer in TypeScript. The frontend and backend share the same definitions for the data they pass to each other. If a field changes on one side, the build fails before a customer ever sees the mismatch.
Why one studio should own the whole build
Many web apps are built by two or three contractors. One builds the screens, another builds the API, and someone else sets up the servers. Each part can work on its own and still fail as a whole.
A typical example is tax on an order. The checkout screen calculates it one way, the backend calculates it another way, and the invoice does not match what the customer saw. Each contractor can point to the other, and you pay for the meetings.
When one studio owns the whole stack:
- There is one repository and one set of documents for the whole product.
- You have one contact for every question, whether it is about a button or a database table.
- A change to a feature happens on every layer at once, with no hand-off between contractors.
- Nobody can say the problem is in someone else’s code.
From scoping call to launch
Our custom web app page lists the steps of a project. Here is what you receive and what you decide at each point.
Before any code
The scoping call covers who your users are and what they must be able to do on day one. Afterwards you get a written plan. It lists the screens, the data the app stores and the services it connects to, such as Stripe or your accounting software. Each phase has a fixed price. You approve the plan before we start.
During the build
You get a private test link that updates as each feature is finished. You can click through real screens with test data, long before launch. When something is unclear, we ask. When a new idea comes up, we price it as a change, so the budget never grows without your approval.
At launch
We move the app to live hosting, connect your domain, switch Stripe to live mode and check that backups and alerts work. We then watch errors and speed closely in the first days after launch.
After launch
You get the code in your own repository, access to every hosting account and a handover call. From there you can keep working with us, or pass the work to your own developers.
When you need full stack work and when a website is enough
Plenty of businesses need a good website and nothing more. A website is enough when visitors read about you, look at your work and contact you. A booking tool or an online store can often be added without custom code. See web design and e-commerce websites for those.
You need full stack development when:
- Customers or staff log in and see their own data.
- People create, edit and save records, such as orders, projects or reports.
- You charge subscriptions or usage fees through Stripe.
- Your systems need to talk to each other, such as a CRM and an accounting tool.
- You are launching a product, such as an MVP or a SaaS app.
Ways to hire us
People who want to hire a full stack developer usually compare three options. An employee makes sense when you have years of steady work, but you also pay for recruiting, benefits and the time it takes to hire. A freelance full stack developer from a marketplace can start fast, but check who owns the code and how the work is documented.
Our full stack development services work in two ways.
- A fixed-price project suits a new app or a large feature.
- Hourly work suits fixes, small features or extra help on an existing app.
Prices are on our pricing page. To talk about your app, contact us.
