What kind of web application are you planning?

Choose the closest product shape. The next questions will account for how it actually works.

Useful starting points

Typical web application investment ranges.

These are broad bands for custom production software. The estimator narrows them using the product decisions that create the most engineering and delivery work.

01

Internal business tool

$6,000-$14,000

A focused operational workflow, secure access, core records, reporting and production deployment.

02

SaaS product or MVP

$8,000-$30,000

A focused sellable product with custom UX, organisations, subscriptions and a dependable backend.

03

Custom CRM

$12,000-$30,000

Customer records, sales pipelines, communication history, reporting and workflows shaped around the team.

04

ERP or operations system

$20,000-$50,000+

Connected inventory, orders, finance or operational processes with multiple roles and integrations.

What changes the cost

Features alone do not describe the product.

The expensive part is often the interaction between users, business rules, data and external systems. A disciplined first release keeps those decisions visible and deliberate.

Product scope and architecture

Defining the smallest valuable release and a foundation that will not block its next stage.

Roles and business logic

Permissions, approvals, state changes, exceptions and audit history multiply implementation paths.

Data and integrations

External APIs, migration quality, synchronisation and ownership rules introduce hidden risk.

Production readiness

Security, testing, monitoring, accessibility, deployment and recovery are part of dependable software.

Before you estimate

Web application cost questions.

A useful range explains its assumptions while leaving room for technical details that can only be validated against the real product.

No. It is a planning range based on the product shape, workflows, access model, design and capabilities you select. A proposal requires a technical review and an agreed first-release scope.

A first release normally includes product discovery, UX and interface work where required, frontend and backend development, core integrations, testing, deployment and a practical handover. The exact mix depends on your answers.

Each role, permission, state change and exception creates behaviour that must be designed, secured, implemented and tested. Ten simple screens can require less work than one dense operational workflow.

Yes. Existing applications usually begin with a code, architecture and data review. The useful parts can be retained while fragile areas are stabilised, replaced or migrated in controlled stages.

No. Cloud infrastructure, model usage, payment processing, paid APIs, licences and other external services are billed separately unless a later proposal explicitly includes them.

Yes, and that is often the safest approach. A focused first release can validate the highest-value workflow while lower-priority modules remain clearly planned for later.

Keep the range for planning with no obligation. If it fits, reply with your current specification, prototype or application URL and I will identify the most useful next step.

Start with a realistic planning number

Estimate the likely cost of your web application.

Describe the product, receive the assumptions and decide whether the range fits before starting a sales conversation.
