App Development
For founders and teams who need a real web application — not a website with some features bolted on.
What It Is
A web app is a different problem than a marketing site. It needs a database, authentication, user roles, API integrations — the kind of infrastructure a website doesn't require and a template can't handle.
Builds are scoped around the problem, not a pre-packaged tier. Next.js on the frontend, Node or serverless on the backend, PostgreSQL or whichever database fits the data model. Clean architecture from day one — not something you'll need to rewrite when you scale.
What's Included
- Full-stack architecture scoped to your project
- Database design and setup
- Authentication and user management
- API design and third-party integrations
- Admin dashboard or internal tooling as needed
- Deployment to Vercel, Railway, or your preferred host
- Architecture and API documentation
- Post-launch support window
Who It's For
- Founders building an MVP who need real infrastructure, not a prototype
- Teams with an existing codebase that needs a dedicated developer
- Businesses that have outgrown their website and need a product
- Anyone who's been quoted $50k+ by an agency for something a solo developer can build
Every project is scoped individually. The starting price reflects a typical engagement — final cost depends on scope, complexity, and timeline.
Common Questions
Web development is for marketing sites and content-driven builds. App development is for products that have users, data, and real business logic behind them.
Yes. If you've already started and need someone to take it further, I can review the codebase and work from there.
Same scope-build-launch structure, just longer cycles. You'll see working builds throughout — not one big reveal at the end of 12 weeks.
Scope changes happen. We'll re-evaluate together and adjust the timeline and cost before anything gets built.
Projects
Zero Gravity Marketing
Full migration of a 150+ page WordPress site to a headless Next.js architecture. Decoupled the CMS from the front end for full control over performance and the rendering pipeline.
Maintenance Dashboard
Internal tool managing automated maintenance for 50+ WordPress sites. Updates plugins and core via WP CLI, then runs Sucuri malware scans and Ghost Inspector UI tests post-update. Failures route to Slack for alerts and Asana for follow-up task creation.
