How much does it cost?

Websites start from 1,500 EUR, AI automation from 2,500 EUR, custom business apps from 4,000 EUR. After the first call you get a fixed proposal with scope, timeline and price.

How fast can we go live?

Most websites and first automations launch in 7-14 days after scope and content are clear. Custom apps get a realistic phased timeline before any work starts.

What happens after launch?

You own everything - code, content, accounts. Most clients keep an optional monthly support arrangement for improvements, SEO and new automations.

Business Automation with Custom Web Apps: Real Use Cases

Custom web applications aren't just for tech companies anymore. In 2026, small businesses across industries are using lightweight web apps to automate repetitive tasks and eliminate expensive software subscriptions.

Real Business Automation Examples

Case 1: Real Estate Agency: Built a custom property management dashboard that syncs with their CRM, automates follow-up emails, and generates client reports. Replaced 3 separate SaaS tools, saving €600/month.

Case 2: Consulting Firm: Created an internal project tracker that integrates with invoicing, time tracking, and client portals. Reduced admin work by 10 hours/week.

Case 3: E-commerce Store: Developed an inventory sync app that connects their online store with their warehouse system and accounting software. Eliminated manual data entry completely.

When to Build vs. Buy

Build custom when: You have unique workflows, you're using multiple disconnected tools, or you're paying for features you don't use in expensive SaaS platforms.

Buy SaaS when: Your process is standard, the problem is already solved well by existing tools, or you don't have technical support.

The Modern Web App Stack

Most custom business apps in 2026 use: Next.js or React for the frontend, Node.js or Python for the backend, PostgreSQL or MongoDB for the database, and Vercel or AWS for hosting.

This stack is reliable, scalable, and has abundant developer talent available.

Cost Breakdown

A simple custom web app (CRUD operations, user auth, basic integrations) costs €3,000-8,000 to build. Complex apps with advanced features and multiple integrations range from €10,000-25,000.

Compare this to annual SaaS costs: if you're spending €500/month on multiple tools, a custom solution pays for itself in 12-18 months.

The API Integration Factor

Modern web apps shine when they connect existing tools. Use APIs to integrate with: payment processors (Stripe), CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce), email (SendGrid), calendars (Google, Outlook), and accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks).

Maintenance & Updates

Budget €100-300/month for hosting and maintenance. Critical security updates should be applied quarterly. Feature updates can be done as needed—you own the code, so you're not locked into a vendor's roadmap.

Starting Small

Don't try to automate everything at once. Start with your most painful manual process. Build a minimal viable product (MVP) in 4-6 weeks, test it with your team, then expand based on real feedback.
