Custom web development, built to ship and stay running.
We design and build web applications end to end — database, API, front end, deploy pipeline. You get a working product in weekly increments, not a slideshow about one.
What you actually get
Product architecture
Data model, API shape, and stack chosen for the problem you have — not the scale a pitch deck imagines. Documented before we write code.
Front-end build
React, Next.js, or Astro interfaces that load fast and work on the devices your users actually carry. Accessibility and Core Web Vitals included, not extra.
Back-end & APIs
Node.js services with clean REST or GraphQL APIs, auth, rate limiting, and tests. Built to be handed over, not to make you dependent on us.
Admin & internal tooling
The dashboards and back-office screens your team needs to run the product — not just the screens your customers see.
Payments & third-party integrations
Stripe, PayPal, local payment gateways, maps, email, SMS — wired in properly, with webhooks that survive retries and failures.
Deployment & handover
Deployed to your infrastructure or ours, with CI/CD, monitoring, and a runbook. You own the code, the repo, and the accounts from day one.
Scope, build, ship, run.
The same four phases every MCQuare engagement follows. You always know which one you're in.
Scope
A real conversation about what you are building and what is actually hard. You leave with a written scope — what we will build, what we will not, and why.
Build
Weekly deploys from week one. You see the thing taking shape, not a project board.
Ship
Deployed to your infrastructure or ours, with monitoring, alerts, and a runbook included in the deliverable.
Run
We keep the lights on for as long as you want us to — or hand over cleanly and get out of the way.
Common questions
How much does a custom web app cost?
It depends on scope — a focused MVP and a multi-role platform are very different builds. We wrote an honest breakdown in our guide to web app cost, and every engagement starts with a scoping call that ends in a written, fixed-scope quote. No hourly black hole.
How long does a typical build take?
A scoped MVP typically ships in 6–10 weeks with weekly deploys from week one. Larger platforms are phased so you get a working product early and we extend it in increments, rather than one big-bang delivery.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
You do — repository, cloud account, domain, analytics, everything. We build in your repos from the first commit. If you ever want to take the project in-house, handover is a meeting, not a negotiation.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We start with a short technical audit — architecture, dependencies, test coverage, deployment — and give you a written assessment of what to keep, what to fix, and what it will take before any build work starts.
