Custom Web
Applications
Built to Scale,
Rank & Perform.
From SaaS dashboards to headless storefronts — SEO-native, performance-engineered, and production-grade from the first commit.
Production-grade stack.
Application types
SaaS & Dashboard Applications
Complex data interfaces, real-time updates, role-based access control, multi-tenancy, and subscription billing — engineered with React Server Components, optimistic UI, and edge-cached API routes.
Headless CMS & Content Architecture
Contentful, Sanity, Payload, Hygraph — paired with a custom Next.js front-end that delivers sub-100ms TTFB, full SEO control, and AI-citation-eligible structured content at every route.
Headless E-commerce
Shopify Storefront API, Medusa.js, or BigCommerce headless — paired with a bespoke front-end. Full SEO control, canonical architecture, and Product schema without platform constraints.
Portals, Marketplaces & Platforms
Customer portals, multi-vendor marketplaces, booking systems, B2B platforms, and API integration hubs. Authentication, role-based permissions, payment processing, and real-time data — all production-grade from day one.
AI-Integrated Applications
OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source LLM integration — AI search, content generation, recommendation engines, and semantic retrieval systems built into production-grade web applications.
API Design & Backend Services
RESTful and GraphQL API design, microservices architecture, webhook systems, third-party integrations, and serverless function development on edge runtimes for sub-50ms global response times.
Security, Testing & CI/CD
Vitest unit testing, Playwright E2E, security audit, OWASP compliance, CSP headers, and automated deployment pipelines with rollback capabilities and staged environments as standard.
Start building arrow_forwardEvery application ships with a Lighthouse 100 baseline.
Performance is not a post-build concern. SSR/SSG rendering strategy selection, critical path optimisation, edge caching architecture, and Core Web Vitals engineering are designed in from the first route.
Route-level rendering decisions
Each route in the application has an explicitly chosen rendering strategy — SSG for static content, ISR for time-sensitive data, SSR for real-time personalisation, CSR only for authenticated UI.
Structured data at every route
JSON-LD schema deployment is automated per content type — WebPage, Article, Product, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList — making every route SERP-feature eligible and AI-citation ready from launch.
Production observability built in
Error monitoring (Sentry), uptime checks, performance budgets, and Real User Monitoring via Vercel Analytics or self-hosted are configured before launch, not retrofitted after incidents.
MVP to production in 8–12 weeks
A structured five-stage programme where architecture decisions, SEO strategy, and performance engineering are made at the specification stage — never retrofitted after launch.
Technical Specification & System Design
Stack selection, rendering strategy map, data model design, API architecture, SEO technical specification, performance budget, and infrastructure plan. Every decision documented before a line of code is written.
UX Design & Design System
Component-level design system, responsive prototypes, interaction design, and accessibility audit before development begins. Design tokens exported directly to Tailwind config.
Iterative Development & Feature Sprints
Two-week sprints with staged deployments to preview environments. Weekly demo calls. SEO architecture, schema markup, and performance optimisation integrated throughout — not post-build.
Quality Assurance & Lighthouse Certification
Vitest unit tests, Playwright E2E, cross-browser QA, security audit, Lighthouse 100 certification, structured data validation, and AI crawler access verification before release.
Deployment, Monitoring & Handover
Production deployment, CI/CD pipeline, observability setup (Sentry, analytics), documentation, knowledge transfer, and 30-day post-launch support with on-call SLA.

Custom applications built with the right architecture from the start — not retrofitted when scale becomes a problem. Every build ships at Lighthouse 100.
