React and Next.js development for custom web apps
Dashboards, client portals and SaaS products built with React, Next.js and Node.js, for startups and growing businesses in the USA, UK, Canada and Europe.
Why this is worth doing properly
Off-the-shelf tools get you started, but at some point your process does not fit a spreadsheet, a form builder or yet another SaaS subscription. A custom web app lets you run that process your way: the right data, the right screens for each role, and the integrations your team needs.
We build these apps with React and Next.js on the front end and Node.js on the back end, with a database designed around your data. The result is fast, secure and maintainable, and the code is yours.
Who this is for
- ✓Businesses replacing spreadsheets and manual work with a proper tool
- ✓Companies that need a client or partner portal with logins
- ✓Teams that need dashboards over data spread across several systems
- ✓Startups building the first version of a SaaS product
- ✓Products on an ageing stack that need a modern rebuild
What's included
Next.js front end
Fast pages that work on any device, with server rendering where it helps speed and search visibility.
Node.js API and database
An API designed around your data, with PostgreSQL or another database chosen for the job.
Logins, roles and permissions
Secure sign-in, password resets and role-based access, so each user sees only what they should.
Admin panel
Screens for your team to manage users, content and settings without touching the database.
Integrations
Payments, CRMs, email, analytics and third-party APIs connected cleanly, with errors handled and logged.
Deployment and handover
Hosting on Vercel or your cloud, environment settings, documentation, and a code repository you own.
How we keep a custom build under control
Custom software goes wrong when the scope is vague. Before we write code we agree the screens, the roles and the data in a short written plan, and price that plan as a fixed quote. You see working software early and often, so feedback lands while it is still cheap to change course.
We choose boring, well-supported technology on purpose. React, Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL have large communities and plenty of developers, so you are never locked in to us.
Real-time features when you need them
Live dashboards, activity feeds and collaborative editing need data that updates without a page refresh. We have built these with WebSockets, for example in ResearchHUB, where every collaborator sees changes as they happen.

Every project gets a fixed quote in writing before any work starts. We quote in USD, GBP or EUR.

They are fast, widely used and well supported, which makes your product easier to hire for and maintain. When a different stack fits better, such as Laravel, we will say so.
Yes. We start with a short review of the code and infrastructure, then fix, extend or gradually replace parts of it rather than rebuilding everything at once.
