A service differs from a website because it has state: users, data, money and access rights. You can't «add that later» here — an architectural mistake surfaces six months in and costs a rewrite.
So we take these projects in stages. First an MVP: the minimum that tests the hypothesis and gets real users. Then we grow in iterations driven by feedback, not by the wish list from the first call.
What's included
- Logic and data design
Entities, relations, roles and permissions. This is the stage where saving money costs the most a year into operation. - User accounts and roles
User, admin, moderator — each with its own permissions and interface. Sign-up, account recovery, two-factor auth when needed. - Payments and subscriptions
One-off payments, plans, recurring billing, trial periods. Stripe, PayPal or local providers, crypto payments when required. - API and integrations
REST and WebSocket, documentation, third-party integrations. If a mobile app is coming, the API is designed for it from the start. - Load and resilience
Go on the backend, PostgreSQL, Redis for cache and queues, Cloudflare. Automated tests and CI/CD so a release doesn't break what worked yesterday. - Operation
Monitoring, logs, alerts. A service isn't «ship and forget» — it needs someone on duty. We can be that someone.
What people come with
- You have a product hypothesis and need an MVP to test it with real users.
- An internal process has outgrown spreadsheets and chats — time to make it a system.
- A running service hits a wall in load or in architecture written for speed.
- You need an API for partners or a mobile app.
What we say upfront
A service is not a project with an end date — it's a product in operation. Budget for development and for growth after launch. If that budget isn't there, start with a smaller MVP rather than cutting code quality.

FAQ
How much does a web service cost?
From $3,900 for an MVP. Services vary enormously in complexity, so we quote in stages: the minimum version first, then iterations with a clear price each.
What is an MVP and why start there?
The minimum version that tests your main hypothesis. It's cheaper and faster, and more importantly it shows what users actually need. A full feature set invented before the first user is typically half unused.
How long does it take?
From six weeks for an MVP. After that, 2–4 week iterations, each ending in a working version rather than a promise.
What's your stack?
Go on the backend, React on the frontend, PostgreSQL, Redis, REST and WebSocket, CI/CD, Cloudflare. Chosen for the task, not for fashion — and we explain the choice.
Who runs the project after launch?
Whatever we agree. We can take on operation and growth, or hand over to your team: code, documentation and access are yours from the start.
Do you use AI in development?
Yes, as an accelerator on routine work — and we pay for the expensive models. But architecture, review and responsibility for the result sit with the team, not a generator.
