See pricing ranges arrow_downwardDo you need a web app or just a website?
If your users only read information, you need a website. If they log in, submit data, track something or complete a task, you need a web application. That is the practical dividing line, and it is the first thing we establish on a call.
The distinction matters because the budgets are nowhere near each other. A corporate website typically runs USD 400 to USD 3,000. A custom web application starts around USD 1,500 and climbs from there depending on how many user roles, integrations and workflows it carries. Plenty of businesses get quoted for one and end up needing the other.
We will tell you honestly which one your situation calls for. If a WordPress site and a good form plugin solves your problem, we will say so rather than sell you a build you do not need.

Web Applications We Build
These are the project types we see most often. If yours is not listed, it probably still fits.
Customer Portals
Let clients log in to view their orders, invoices, documents and job status without calling your office. Cuts the volume of repetitive enquiries your team handles every day.
Booking & Scheduling Systems
Appointment engines for clinics, salons, consultancies and service businesses. Handles staff calendars, capacity limits, deposits through Stripe or PayTabs, and automated WhatsApp reminders.
Operations Dashboards
One screen showing what is actually happening across your business, pulling live data from the systems you already run. Built for owners who are tired of asking three people for one number.
Internal Tools
The system your team currently runs on a shared spreadsheet, rebuilt properly with permissions, an audit trail and validation. Usually the fastest project to pay for itself.
Marketplaces & Multi-Vendor Platforms
Two-sided platforms with vendor onboarding, commission logic, split payouts and separate dashboards for buyers, sellers and admins.
SaaS Products & MVPs
Subscription platforms with tenant separation, billing and usage limits. For founders who need something real in front of users before raising or committing further budget.
What We Build With
No mystery stack. These are proven, widely supported technologies, which means you can hire another developer later without being stuck with us.
Front End
Next.js & React
Server-side rendering for pages that need to rank in Google, full RTL support where needed, and fast load times on mobile networks. Tailwind for styling so the UI stays consistent as the app grows.
Back End
FastAPI & Node
Typed APIs with auto-generated documentation, so integrations do not turn into guesswork. Handles authentication, roles and permissions, background jobs and third-party connections.
Data & Hosting
PostgreSQL & Docker
A relational database that will not buckle as your data grows, containerised so it runs the same on your servers as it does on ours. Deployed via Coolify if you want full data ownership.
Built for Your Market, Not Retrofitted
The details that separate an app built for your customers from a generic build with a translation layer bolted on afterwards.
Real Multilingual Support
Right-to-left layouts designed properly for Arabic, alongside Urdu and English where your customers need it, not text dropped into a design that was never built for it. Navigation, forms, tables and date pickers all mirror correctly. One bilingual app with language switching costs less and is far easier to maintain than two separate builds.
Local Payment Gateways
Easypaisa and JazzCash for Pakistan, MyFatoorah, QPay and PayTabs for the Gulf, plus Stripe and PayPal for international customers. Tested with locally issued cards, not just a currency setting changed on a generic integration.
Data Protection Built In
Encrypted storage, explicit consent flows and defined data retention from the start, mapped to whichever data protection framework applies in your market. Self-hosting is available if customer data needs to stay on infrastructure you control.
Compliance-Ready Architecture
If your app touches invoicing or payroll, we structure it so region-specific requirements, such as wage protection files, gratuity calculations or e-invoicing formats, can be added cleanly later without a rebuild.
Web App Development Packages
Every project is scoped individually and quoted as a fixed price in writing, so there are no hourly surprises.
| Build Type | What It Covers | Timeline | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Build | A focused single-purpose app with one or two user roles, a clean admin panel and one integration. Suits internal tools, booking systems and simple client portals. | 4 to 7 weeks | $1,500 – $3,500 Get Quote |
| Most Requested Business Build |
Multiple user roles, payment gateway, bilingual support, reporting dashboards and integrations with your existing systems. Where most customer portals land. | 8 to 14 weeks | $4,500 – $12,000 Get Quote |
| Platform Build | Marketplaces, multi-tenant SaaS, or systems replacing several tools at once with complex permissions and workflows. Delivered in phases so value lands early. | 4 to 8 months | $18,000+ Get Quote |
| Takeover & Rescue | A technical audit of an app another team built, followed by a clear recommendation on whether to continue, refactor or rebuild. | 1 to 2 weeks | $400 – $1,200 Get Quote |

Website vs Web Application
A quick check before you brief an agency or approve a budget.
| Consideration | Website | Web Application |
|---|---|---|
| What users do | Read pages, fill a contact form | Log in, submit data, complete tasks |

Weekly releases to a staging link you can open any time. Feedback goes in continuously rather than piling up at the end.
Launch
Deployment, team training and full documentation, plus 30 days of support included. The code repository is transferred to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What businesses ask before commissioning a web application.
It depends on scope, so we quote each project individually rather than publishing a fixed rate. The main cost drivers are how many user roles the app needs, whether it takes payments, whether it runs bilingually, and how many existing systems it has to connect to. Send us your requirements and you will have a fixed written quote within 48 hours, with no hourly billing afterwards.
Four to seven weeks for a starter build, 8 to 14 weeks for most business applications, and 4 to 8 months for large platforms. In our experience the timeline depends more on how quickly you can review and approve work than on development speed. Projects where one person owns decisions move noticeably faster than those needing committee sign-off.
Yes, completely. The repository transfers to you at launch along with documentation. You can hire any competent developer to continue the work, which is exactly why we build on mainstream technologies instead of a proprietary framework only we understand.
Yes, with genuine right-to-left layouts rather than translated text in a left-to-right design. Navigation, forms, tables, icons and date pickers all mirror correctly. We build a single multilingual application with language switching, which costs less and is easier to maintain than running two separate versions.
Easypaisa and JazzCash for Pakistan, MyFatoorah, QPay and PayTabs for the Gulf, plus Stripe and PayPal for international customers. We test with locally issued cards during development, because a gateway that works in a sandbox does not always behave the same in production.
Yes. We deliver Dockerized applications deployed through Coolify, so you can run everything on infrastructure you control with no per-seat SaaS billing. If you prefer managed cloud hosting we handle that too, on a region you nominate.
Usually yes. We start with a paid technical audit of the codebase, which tells you honestly whether the app is worth continuing or whether a rebuild would cost less over two years. Some inherited codebases are fine and just need maintenance. Others cost more to patch than to replace, and you deserve to know which one you have.
We build progressive web apps, which install to the home screen and work offline without requiring App Store or Play Store approval. For most business tools that is the better route. If you genuinely need native features like push notifications at scale or device hardware access, we will tell you and scope accordingly.
You get 30 days of support included for bugs and small adjustments. After that you can take a monthly retainer for ongoing development, pay per change request, or run it in-house with the documentation and training we provide. There is no lock-in either way.
