The short version
4 things that decide this
- 01A web app is software people log into and work in. A website is something they read. The difference decides your whole budget.
- 02Hashlogics has published 40+ case studies, including TrialTriage, which handles oncology patient data with field-level encryption and an audit trail across 23 tracked actions.
- 03Most web apps fail after launch, not during the build. Integrations change, traffic shifts, and the vendor has moved on.
- 04We put the maintenance decision in the contract at the start: an agreed service level with us, or a documented handover to your team.
Nothing breaks on launch day
Launch day goes well. Everyone is watching, the load is light, and the bugs that show up get fixed within the hour. Month seven is the dangerous one.
By then a payment provider has changed an API and a table has grown past what the queries assumed. The engineers who built it moved to another client. Your app does not go down. It gets slower, drops the odd record, and your team starts keeping a spreadsheet on the side.
That spreadsheet is the real signal. When people work around your software, it has already failed.

What we actually build
Named products, running for named clients.
Multi-tenant products
WAIQ standardises SOPs, workflows and training across every site and role for multi-site operators. One platform, separated tenants, leaders watching readiness live.
Regulated systems that hold patient data
TrialTriage ranks eligible oncology trials from de-identified data, with a nurse approving every result. HIPAA-aligned, with PHI masking, multi-factor login and an audit trail across 23 tracked actions.
Operations dashboards that replace six tools
TomoDomo runs residents, rooms, bookings and payments for a Swiss coliving operator in one place. Applications flow through to a booked room with nobody rekeying a spreadsheet.
Real-time apps under load
Elevent holds a live trivia game in sync from ten players to over a thousand, on Socket.IO with a Redis adapter across multiple servers. Real time is an architecture choice, made before the first screen.
When a progressive web app beats a store app
A progressive web app runs in the browser but installs to the home screen and keeps working offline. It beats a store app when your users are staff or customers you can send a link to, when you want one codebase and no store review on every release, and when the device features you need are the ones a browser already offers.
ZyloBase, the field-service CRM we helped build, shipped as an offline-capable mobile PWA so reps keep canvassing without dependable Wi-Fi, with its own Twilio number for SMS. Pick a store app instead when you need deep device access or discovery in the App Store, and our mobile app development page covers that.
Front end, back end and cloud, built by one team
One team builds the whole app, so nobody argues about whose side a bug is on. Front ends in React, Next.js or Vue; back ends in Node.js, FastAPI or Laravel; data in PostgreSQL or Supabase. Elevent holds a thousand trivia players in sync in real time, and KiwiWrite gives students a browser workspace for math with Google Classroom built in.
Cloud application development means the parts users never see: hosting on AWS or Vercel, multi-tenancy enforced in the database, and monitoring with Sentry and New Relic so a slow query is found before a customer reports it. Not sure whether you need an app or a site? Read web app vs website, and for the framework question, Next.js vs React.
- ScopeFree scoping call, then the Blueprint. What breaks today?
- ModelData and roles settled before code.
- BuildSenior engineers, live environment.
- HardenLoad, access, logging, backups.
- RunService level, or trained handover.
Model comes before Build because permissions are the thing nobody retrofits. TrialTriage separates admins, nurses, patients and insurers, and that had to be true in the database before it was true on screen.
AI inside the product, not a chat box in the corner
A chat widget answers questions about your product. A useful AI feature does the work the product exists for. Those need different builds.
Greenlight scores how sustainable a company really is by reading laws, certifications and controversies rather than the company's own reporting. It covers over 50 ESG topics with 10 to 15 independent sources each, then hands an expert a draft assessment to verify. That is a product feature with a person in the loop, not a bot bolted on.
- Retrieval grounded in your own documents, so answers can be traced back to a source.
- A person approves anything the business cannot take back.
- Scored test cases before release, re-run whenever a prompt or model changes.
- The model name lives in configuration, because every model gets retired eventually.

The usual web project against ours
Both hand over a working app. The difference shows up in the year after.
Who writes the code
The usual approach
Seniors pitch, juniors build once the contract signs.
How we build
The engineers on the scoping call are the ones who ship it.
Permissions and roles
The usual approach
Added when the first customer asks for them.
How we build
Modelled in the database before any screen is designed.
AI in the product
The usual approach
A chat widget over the docs.
How we build
A feature that finishes work, with a human approving what matters.
After launch
The usual approach
Support ends when the invoice clears.
How we build
An agreed service level, or a documented handover. Decided up front.
Ownership
The usual approach
Deployed to the vendor's accounts.
How we build
Your code, your cloud accounts, your keys, from day one.
01What do web app development services include?+
Web app development services include scoping, the data model, the front end and back end, integrations with the systems you run, hosting and monitoring, and maintenance after launch. Hashlogics delivers all of it with one senior team, for enterprises and startups.
02Should we build a progressive web app or a store app?+
Build a progressive web app when users arrive by link, you want one codebase and releases without store review, and browser features are enough. Build a store app when you need deep device access or App Store discovery. ZyloBase shipped as an offline-capable PWA for field reps.
03Do you do front end and back end?+
Yes, one team builds both, from the React, Next.js or Vue front end to the Node.js, FastAPI or Laravel back end and the PostgreSQL database. That way the API and the screens are designed together and nobody hands a bug across a contract line.
04Do you build on Laravel or React?+
Both, chosen by what you already run and who will maintain it. We build front ends in React, Next.js and Vue, and back ends in Node.js, FastAPI and Laravel; TankAware runs on Laravel and AWS, for example.
05Web app or website: which do I need?+
A web application is software people log into and do work in, and a website is something they read. Logins, records, permissions and workflows put you on the application side. That distinction sets your budget, because an application needs a data model, roles and a plan for the day the data grows.
06Can you take over a web app another agency built?+
Every build starts with a fixed-fee Blueprint: an engineer reads your real systems and writes the plan, with a fixed price for each milestone rather than a guess. The fee is credited in full against the build, and if the plan isn't one you'd act on, you don't pay for it. We read the codebase, find what is load-bearing, and tell you what is worth keeping against what should be rewritten. The scoping call before it is free.
07Our app slows down as data grows. Is that a rewrite?+
Rarely. Most slowdowns come from a handful of queries and a missing index, and they get worse quietly until one page times out. We measure before proposing anything, because a rewrite sold without a measurement is a vendor protecting its own margin.
08How do you keep one customer's data away from another's?+
Separation is enforced in the database, not in the interface. Trading CoPilot and ExtraaJe both use Postgres row-level security through Supabase. A query that forgets a filter returns nothing, not someone else's records. Multi-tenant products get this decided in the first week.
09Do we own the code and the cloud accounts?+
Yes, all of it, and it lives in your accounts from the first deploy rather than being handed over at the end. That includes the repository, the infrastructure and the keys. Anything less means your business depends on a vendor answering an email. The first 2 months of support and maintenance are free, with every build.
10Can the app connect to the systems we already run?+
Yes, through their APIs, and that is nearly always cheaper than replacing them. Across our builds that has meant Stripe, QuickBooks, Twilio, HubSpot, Google Calendar and a government right-to-work service. We only propose replacing a system when keeping it costs more than it saves.
11How much does a web app cost?+
Cost is driven by how many user roles exist, how many outside systems the app touches, and whether it must satisfy an auditor. Naming a range before seeing the workflow is guessing, and the guess protects nobody. The scoping call is free, and the fixed-fee Blueprint, credited in full against the build, fixes the price before the build starts.
12Is this for enterprises or startups?+
Both, and they buy different things. A startup wants one workflow live and evidence that users return, so we ship narrow and instrument it. An enterprise wants audit trails, role separation and integration with what already runs, which is what TrialTriage needed across four user types. The engineering standard does not change between them.
