How a build runs

What an app project looks like, start to launch

Timelines from our standard process. Search data for app development in Orange County is small (about 10 searches a month), so here are the numbers that matter more.

Discovery
Weeks 1 to 2 requirements and architecture
Design
Weeks 3 to 4 full prototype in Figma
Sprint demos
Every 2 weeks working software, not slides
Typical MVP
8 to 12 weeks clear scope, fast decisions

Why the process matters

Most app projects go wrong when building starts before anyone agrees on what is being built. We write down user stories, the data model, and the API plan first. Then you watch the app take shape every two weeks and can change direction before it gets expensive.

What's included

The whole stack, built by one team

From a first MVP to a production system your staff and customers rely on.

01

Frontend

React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind. Responsive on phones and desktops, and accessible by default.

02

Backend and APIs

Node.js with clean API design, business logic, scheduled jobs, and background workers.

03

Database

PostgreSQL as the main database, Redis for caching and queues, and S3 for file storage, with schema design and tuning.

Login and permissions

Role-based access, single sign-on, and two-factor login through Clerk, Auth0, or a custom setup.

App Development FAQ

Questions Costa Mesa business owners ask us.

Can we meet your team in Costa Mesa during the project?

Yes. We're at 238 Fischer Ave, Unit B, a few minutes from the 405. Kickoff and planning sessions work well in person, and sprint demos can be in the office or on a call.

What kind of apps do you build?

Web applications that run in the browser on any device: customer portals, booking and scheduling systems, SaaS products, dashboards, and internal tools. If your team is working around a spreadsheet, that is often a good place to start.

What tech stack do you use?

Our default is Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and Tailwind. We adjust when a project calls for it, such as Python for machine learning work or Rails if you already have a Rails team.

Can the app connect to systems we already use?

Yes. We connect to CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot, payment processors, ERPs, analytics tools, and custom partner APIs.

What happens after the app launches?

You own the code, the design files, and the infrastructure. We can keep maintaining it with bug fixes, security updates, and new features, or hand it off to your in-house team.
