    FAQ on web app development

    • What is a web application?

      A web application is an interactive software program accessed through a web browser. Unlike a website, which primarily displays content, a web app enables users to perform specific tasks, such as managing accounts, processing transactions, or creating content. Examples include online banking systems, email services like Gmail, or project management tools like Trello.

    • How does a web application work?

      A web application operates by using a client-server model. The client side (browser) sends requests to the server, which processes these requests, accesses the necessary data from a database, and sends back the results. For example, when you log in to a web app, your credentials are sent to the server, which verifies them and returns a response that either grants access or prompts for corrections.

    • What is the difference between a website and a web application?

      A website is mainly for viewing information, with minimal user interaction beyond navigation. Examples include blogs, news sites, informational websites like Wikipedia, and company websites that provide details about services or products.

      A web app, however, is built for user interaction and functionality, like filling out forms, making purchases, or interacting with a dashboard. Examples include email services like Gmail, project management tools like Trello, document editing platforms like Google Docs, e-commerce platforms like Amazon, or social media platforms like Facebook.

    • What is the difference between SaaS and a web app?

      SaaS (Software as a Service) is a way of delivering software where the application is hosted online (in the cloud) and you can use it through your web browser, usually by paying a subscription fee. Think of SaaS as a service you subscribe to, like Netflix, but for software.

      A web app is the actual software that you use in your browser. For example, when you use Google Docs to write a document or Gmail to send an email, you’re using a web app.

      To simplify: SaaS is the business model (you pay to use the software online), and the web app is the tool you interact with (the software itself). Not all web apps require a subscription (like free web apps), but all SaaS products are web apps because you access them online.

    • What types of web apps can you develop?

      We develop a variety of custom web apps, including:

      • E-commerce platforms (like online stores)
      • Content management systems (for managing digital content)
      • Social networking sites (community platforms)
      • SaaS products (like project management tools)
      • Business process automation (tools for managing workflows)
      • Custom enterprise solutions (tailored software for specific business needs)
    • What technologies do you use for web app development?

      Here’s a breakdown of our tech stack and skills, which we apply across custom website development services and other web development projects:

      1. Backend (server-side technologies):

      • Node.js – a platform for building server-side applications using JavaScript.
      • NestJS – a framework built on top of Node.js for developing server-side applications.
      • PostgreSQL – a relational database management system.
      • MongoDB – a NoSQL (document-based) database.
      • Firebase services – a suite of services for mobile and web applications, including databases and authentication.
      • WebSockets – a protocol enabling real-time communication between the server and the client.
      • Strapi – a headless CMS (Content Management System) built on Node.js for creating APIs.

      2. Frontend (client-side Technologies):

      • React – a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
      • Redux – a state management tool used in conjunction with React.

      • Tailwind – a CSS library for rapid development.
      • shadcn/ui – a set of UI components written in React that allow for the easy adoption/customization of a desired design.

      3. DevOps (infrastructure and CI/CD):

      • AWS (Amazon Web Services) – a cloud service provider offering hosting, processing, storage, and more.
      • Docker – a platform for running applications in containers.
      • Semaphore – a CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) tool that automates the testing and deployment of applications.
      • Terraform – an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool used to manage cloud resources.

      4. Payments and integrations:

      • Stripe Payments – a platform for handling online payments.
      • SendGrid – a cloud-based email delivery service.

      5. Monitoring and security:

      • Sentry – a tool for monitoring errors in applications.

      6. Programming languages:

      • HTML + (S)CSS – the core language for building web pages (HTML) and styling them (CSS, SCSS).
      • JavaScript – a programming language used for both client-side and server-side development.
      • TypeScript – a strongly-typed version of JavaScript.

      SQL – a language for managing data in relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).

    • How long does it typically take to develop a web app?

      Development timelines vary based on complexity. A basic web app can take about 3 to 6 months. For more complex applications, such as a SaaS platform with multiple features, it might take 6 to 12 months or longer. We provide an estimated timeline during the discovery phase. Let’s talk about your product. 

    • How much does it cost to develop a web app?

      The cost depends on several factors, including the app’s complexity, number of features, design requirements, and integration needs. Basic web apps might start at $50,000, while more complex apps can range from $100,000 to $500,000 or more. We offer a custom cost estimation based on your specific needs after our discovery phase. Let’s talk about your product. 

    • Can you help with both frontend and backend development for my web app?

      Absolutely. We can handle the entire development process, including frontend development (creating the user interface and experience) and backend development (managing the server, database, and application logic). This ensures your web app is both visually appealing and functionally robust.

    • How do you ensure the security of the web applications you develop?

      We implement a multi-layered security approach, including:

      • Data encryption for sensitive information
      • Secure authentication methods (e.g., OAuth, multi-factor authentication)
      • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
      • Keeping all software and dependencies up-to-date to protect against known threats

      Application firewalls and intrusion detection systems to monitor and prevent unauthorized access.

    • Do you offer ongoing maintenance and support after the web app is launched?

      Yes, we provide comprehensive post-launch services, including:

      • Regular updates to ensure compatibility with new browsers and operating systems
      • Bug fixing and performance optimization to keep your app running smoothly
      • Feature enhancements based on user feedback or new business requirements

      24/7 support for any urgent issues or downtime.

    • Can you integrate third-party services or APIs into my web app?

      Yes, we can integrate a wide range of third-party services and APIs to enhance your app’s functionality. This includes payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), social media logins (e.g., Facebook, Google), analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), and any custom APIs that your business needs.

    • How do you handle web app performance optimization?

      We optimize performance through:

      • Writing modular, scalable code and minimizing unnecessary computations
      • Caching strategies to reduce server load and improve response times
      • Image and asset compression to speed up loading times
      • Database optimization to handle queries more efficiently
      • Load balancing and content delivery networks (CDNs) to manage traffic spikes
    • Will my web app be responsive and work on all devices?

      Yes, all our web apps are designed to be fully responsive, ensuring a consistent and user-friendly experience across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. We test across multiple devices and browsers to ensure compatibility.

    • What is the process for getting started with web app development?

      The first step is to decide whether you want to build an in-house team or find a tech partner (web app development agency) for outsourcing.

      • In-house team: This option is best if you want full control over every aspect of the development process and plan to maintain the app long-term. It’s ideal for companies with the budget and resources to hire, manage, and scale a dedicated development team.
      • Tech partner (outsourcing): Outsourcing is a great choice when you need expert help, want faster results, or lack the resources to hire and maintain a full in-house team. A tech partner brings specialized skills and often reduces the overhead costs associated with hiring internally.

      If you decide to go with outsourcing, the next step is to start searching for a tech partner. Platforms like Clutch can be a great resource for finding reputable firms that specialize in custom web apps or custom web development. These platforms provide reviews, case studies, and ratings to help you evaluate potential partners.

      Once you have a few candidates, compare their portfolios, track records, and client testimonials. It’s also crucial to schedule meetings with each to assess their fit with your project.

      During these meetings, try to gain insights into their processes, practices, company culture etc. Then you’ll probably get offers from each potential partner, including their budget estimates and timelines.

      When reviewing and comparing these offers, be thorough. Ask for clarification on anything unclear. If one firm offers a much cheaper or faster solution, investigate why. Ensure it doesn’t come at the expense of quality or overlook important features in your product. This due diligence will help you make a more informed decision on the best web app development company for your web development project.

    • How do I choose a web app development company for my project?

      Look for a web development company with:

      • Proven experience in projects similar to yours
      • A strong portfolio showcasing their work
      • Technical expertise in the technologies and web solutions you need
      • Transparent communication and a clear development process
      • Client testimonials or case studies that demonstrate their success in custom web development
    • What are the benefits of custom web app development?

      Opting for custom web app development ensures that your application is tailor-made to fit your specific business requirements, offering flexibility and scalability. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, custom web apps are built to integrate seamlessly with your existing systems and workflows, which enhances performance and user experience.

    • How do web development agencies handle complex projects?

      Experienced web development agencies often have well-defined processes in place to manage complex web development projects. This includes thorough discovery and planning phases, where they work closely with clients to understand their requirements. Agencies specializing in custom web development focus on building scalable, flexible, and high-performing web solutions, ensuring that they can evolve with your business. By partnering with an agency, you benefit from their technical expertise, streamlined workflows, and access to a team that can handle every aspect of the project, from design to deployment.

    • What are web portals?

      A web portal is a centralized platform that provides users with access to a variety of information, tools, and services in one place. Web portals can be customized for specific industries or businesses, offering features like personalized dashboards, data access, communication tools, and more. Examples include employee intranets, customer self-service portals, or educational portals.
