Web Development Agency

Our 2026 default stack: frontend Next.js 15 + React 19 + Tailwind + TypeScript. Backend Node.js (Next.js API routes or Express) or Python (FastAPI for data-heavy). Database PostgreSQL (Supabase or self-hosted). Auth NextAuth or Clerk. CMS Payload (headless) or custom WordPress. Deployment Cloudflare or own VPS (EU). Alternative stacks by client preference: Vue/Nuxt, Angular, Laravel, Ruby on Rails — we're not dogmatic.

Two models: (1) Time & material at €140/h (senior dev) or €90/h (mid-level). Billing in 30-min blocks, monthly invoice. Good for unclear scope or agile collaboration. (2) Project-based fixed prices: Small from €5,000, Mid from €15,000, Enterprise from €50,000. Includes: discovery, architecture, development, QA, deployment. Not included: infrastructure costs (hosting, DB from €29/month), ongoing maintenance (from €249/month).

WordPress: ideal for content-marketing-heavy, WordPress ecosystem (plugins), small teams without dev resources. Cheaper in setup (€5-15k), but performance limits (LCP usually 3-5s) and plugin chaos at scale. Next.js: ideal for performance focus (LCP under 2s), complex integrations, custom features, modern frontend patterns. More expensive in setup (€15-50k), but measurably faster, more scalable and SEO-stronger. Rule of thumb: under 30 pages + content marketing = WordPress, everything else = evaluate Next.js.

Small project (single-page app, landing): 2-4 weeks. Mid project (full-stack with backend + DB): 6-12 weeks. Enterprise project (complex business logic, multi-integrations): 3-9 months. Factors that extend: unclear requirements, multi-step approvals, external API dependencies, parallel to legacy system. We work in 2-week sprints with demo calls, you see progress continuously and can prioritize.

Our 250+ dev projects cover: SaaS and startup products (30%), e-commerce (25%), corporate websites with custom features (20%), internal tools / admin dashboards (15%), fintech / healthcare with compliance (10%). Concrete references we show pre-engagement with client consent. Alternative: discovery call (30 min free), where we clarify whether we're the right tech partner for your stack preferences and industry.

Yes — maintenance retainer from €249/month (basic: security updates, dependency updates, monitoring) or €749/month (enhanced: incl. bug fixes, small feature additions, performance monitoring). Without maintenance: WordPress plugins have 30-60 day update cycles, Node.js security patches monthly. Neglected sites become security liabilities within 6-12 months. Recommendation: at least basic maintenance for production sites.

Three collaboration modes: (1) Augmentation — our dev works as part of your team, uses your tools (GitHub, Jira, Slack), participates in daily standups. From €140/h, typically 60-120h/month. (2) Delegated feature — we take over defined features with own timeline, handoff to your team. (3) Consulting — technical reviews, architecture advice, code audits as sparring for your team. All modes with Git-based collaboration, code reviews and documentation.

Yes — after final payment, yours: (1) entire source code in your Git repository (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket). (2) Deployment documentation and architecture diagrams. (3) Complete usage rights without restriction. (4) Third-party licenses (if commercial packages used, transferable). No vendor lock-in, any other agency can take over later. We may show the project as a case study (if not contractually excluded).

Three differentiators: (1) Full-stack expertise instead of frontend-only or backend-only — we build complete systems, not isolated components. (2) Performance-native — Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse 95+ are standard, not post-launch optimization. (3) Ownership-friendly — we build so your team (or another agency) can take over later, no custom frameworks creating vendor lock. Plus: transparent hourly rates + fixed prices (no hidden change requests), Vienna location with EU hosting infrastructure.
