# Web apps and SaaS

> DevRaxo designs and builds custom web applications and SaaS products: internal tools, customer portals, marketplaces and subscription platforms. We scope a first phase around your budget, ship working slices every few weeks, and hand over the source code, documentation and infrastructure so the product is yours.

- Area: [Web & product](https://devraxo.com/services/web/)
- Price: from £4,900. Starting price for the first phase; later phases are scoped from what we learn.
- Timeline: 8–12 weeks for a first phase

## This is for you if
- Off-the-shelf software forces you to bend your process to fit.
- You have a product idea and need an engineering team that can ship it.
- You run on spreadsheets that have outgrown spreadsheets.

## The problem
- **Your process does not fit the tool.** You pay for software and then pay people to work around it.
- **Big-bang projects overrun.** Months of building before anyone sees anything is how budgets and trust disappear.
- **Vendor lock-in.** Software you do not own is software you cannot move.

## How it works
1. **Scope the first phase.** The smallest version that does the real job. Assumptions and open questions are kept visibly separate from requirements.
2. **Prototype in week one.** A clickable version first, so decisions are made against something real.
3. **Build in usable slices.** Working software lands every two to three weeks, deployed somewhere you can use it.
4. **Harden and hand over.** Security, performance, backups, monitoring and documentation, then the keys.

## What you get
- Budget-friendly first phase
- Working software every 2–3 weeks
- Cloud deployment you control
- Automated tests and backups
- Architecture and API documentation
- Source code and git history

## Questions
### What technologies do you use?
Mainstream, well-supported stacks — typically TypeScript, Python and PostgreSQL on a major cloud — chosen so you can hire for them later. We explain the choice in plain terms.

### Can you work with our existing developers?
Yes. We often pair with in-house teams, and we write code and documentation so they can take over comfortably.

### How do you handle changes mid-project?
Changes are welcome and priced transparently. Each slice is reviewed, so direction can change without wasting what is built.

### Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, and we are comfortable working under yours.
