How to choose a developer for your app
What to check when choosing a developer for an app: references, communication, code ownership, the quote and warning signs. A practical list of questions.
Custom software development
Custom software is a program built exactly for your business, instead of bending your business around an off-the-shelf tool: an order and stock system, automated reporting, connecting programs that do not talk to each other, an internal tool for a team, or a completely new product.
Development is led by one senior engineer with more than ten years of experience. From the first conversation to launch you talk to the person who designs and builds, and AI tools speed up the build, so you get the finished solution faster.
If it can be imagined, it can be built. There is no requirement that cannot be solved, and for the more complex things we look for the best way together.
What you get
- Process analysis
- First we understand how the work runs today and where time is lost, so we build only what brings benefit.
- Business systems
- Orders, stock, clients, quotes, invoices and reports in one system adapted to your rules.
- Automation
- Repetitive jobs (data entry, reports, email, documents) run by themselves, with review and logging.
- Integrations and APIs
- Connections to banks, CRM, accounting, payments and other programs you already use.
- AI solutions
- Document processing, chatbots, text and voice analysis, built in where they genuinely save time.
- Modernising the existing
- We take over and modernise outdated applications, step by step, without stopping work.
Who it is for
- Companies that run their work on spreadsheets, email and manual data entry.
- Teams whose programs do not connect, so data gets retyped.
- Startups that need a product that differs from off-the-shelf tools.
- Owners of an outdated system who want to modernise it without risk.

How we work
A clear process with short cycles and continuous visibility. One person leads the project from the first call to launch, and AI speeds up development under the review of an experienced engineer.
Discovery
We define goals, scope and priorities. Before work begins, you get a timeline and a price range.
Prototype
We build a clickable prototype to confirm the direction early, while changes are still easy.
Development
We develop in short cycles, with regular releases you can test and review.
Delivery
We launch, hand over the code and documentation, and continue with maintenance and upgrades.
Technologies we use
- Languages
- TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java
- Backend and API
- Node.js, NestJS, Django, FastAPI, Laravel, Spring Boot, REST and GraphQL
- Data and cloud
- PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Supabase, AWS, Azure, Docker
- Interface
- React, Vue, Angular, Next.js
- Flexibility
- The technology is chosen to fit the project, not the other way round, or whatever you already use.
Questions about custom software
How much does custom software cost?
Prices start from €600, and the hourly rate from €35 per hour. The final amount depends on complexity: the number of screens and features, integrations, design and security. After a short conversation you get a free scope estimate and a price range, with no obligation. Prices are indicative and exclude VAT.
What is custom software?
It is a program built specifically for your company and your processes, as opposed to an off-the-shelf program everyone uses the same way. It fits your work, and the code and data belong to you.
When does custom software beat an off-the-shelf program?
When your processes are not standard, when an existing tool needs too many workarounds, or when owning the code and data matters to you. If an existing tool covers most of your needs, it is often the better choice and we will say so honestly.
Can you take over an existing system?
Yes. After reviewing the code and documentation we assess whether it is better to continue development, modernise it step by step, or replace it.
How long does custom software take to build?
A small tool or automation can be ready within a few days to a few weeks, while a larger system takes up to a few months, depending on complexity. We work in short cycles, so you can use the first parts very early.
Who owns the code?
You do. After delivery you get the source code, access and documentation.
