How we help

From blueprint to build, and beyond

Checklist requirements icon

We discover your requirements

Every custom project starts with what we call the Architectural Framework: a thorough, thoughtful analysis of your business practices, the issues you want to address, and the features you want in your new system. The result is a detailed blueprint describing the ideal solution and all of the associated costs, before a line of code is written.

FAQ

Common questions about custom software development

What is custom web application development?

Custom web application development is building software tailored to how your business actually works, instead of forcing your process into off-the-shelf software. We design and build custom web applications on ASP.NET and SQL Server that your staff, customers, and suppliers can use securely from any device.

How much does custom software development cost?

It varies with scope, but most projects begin with our Architectural Framework discovery phase (usually $8k - $20k), which delivers a screen flow, initial database design, and project plan with estimates.. We bill hourly, with no per-user or license fees. Why don't you schedule a free consultation to get a better idea of what your project will cost?

How long does custom web application development take?

It depends on size and complexity, from a few weeks for simpler systems to several months for larger ones. We scope the timeline during the Architectural Framework, so you know what to expect before we build.
