Web Projects
When a classic website is no longer enough.
Custom platforms, portals, internal tools, SaaS MVPs — with proper backup strategy, monitoring, CI/CD and full code handover. From Lower Saxony, Germany — nationwide and beyond, no agency lock-in.
Boundaries
When is this the right service?
Web project fits when …
- You need logged-in areas, database logic, custom workflows
- Stripe subscriptions, multi-tenancy or role system
- APIs to third-party systems (ERP, CRM, external data sources)
- You want real ownership of code & infrastructure
- Requirements are growing — you need a scalable base
What's built in
Not just code — an entire infrastructure.
What costs extra at large agencies is included here from day one. Backups, monitoring, security, CI/CD, docs — standard, not premium.
Proper backup strategy
Daily automated database backups with 30-day retention, weekly off-site backups, point-in-time recovery. You never lose data.
Monitoring & uptime
Sentry for errors, Vercel Analytics & Logflare for performance, Uptime Robot with SMS/mail alert on outages. Problems get spotted — before customers report them.
CI/CD & version control
Every code change runs through GitHub Actions: linter, type-check, tests, automatic deploy to Vercel. Rollback in 30 seconds.
Security by default
Row-level security in Supabase, OWASP-Top-10-compliant headers, regular dependency audits, secret rotation, 2FA login. No WordPress plugin nightmare.
Custom tools & dashboards
Bespoke internal tools, admin cockpits, reporting dashboards. What you need in daily business — built around your processes, not crammed into a SaaS corset.
Cleanly integrated APIs
Stripe, Resend, OpenAI, Maps, ERP/CRM, Zapier — third-party systems wired in stably and versioned. Webhooks with retry logic, idempotency, audit log.
Project types
Six classes I build regularly.
Platforms & marketplaces
Multi-sided (vendor ↔ customer), with Stripe Connect, commission model, reviews, search, filters — the complete setup that turns an idea into a running system.
Member & customer portals
Login-protected areas with role system, Stripe subscriptions, custom workflows. Similar to our own customer portal — but tailored to your brand and your processes.
SaaS MVPs
Got an idea for a software product? From wireframe to a running MVP in 6–12 weeks. With auth, billing, analytics and a deployment setup that scales with you.
Internal tools & cockpits
Warehouse overview, order pipeline, reporting dashboards, employee tools — faster and more precise than any SaaS, because built exactly around your data and processes.
Multilingual & complex sites
Enterprise sites with 5+ languages, headless CMS, multi-region hosting, editorial workflow. When a classic website is no longer enough, this class starts.
AI-powered applications
OpenAI, Anthropic or custom LLM integrations. Chatbots with your own knowledge (RAG), automated writing, smart search. Pragmatically applied, not hype.
Tech stack
Proven stack, no experiments.
I build on a small, focused toolchain — one that works together, is well documented, and where you'll still find developers in 5 years. No grab-bag of ten frameworks.

How a project runs
From workshop to a running system.
- 01Discovery & scopingWorkshop (2–3 h) on goals, users, data, integrations. You get a detailed concept with architecture sketch, user flows and effort estimate. The workshop is credited against the project.
- 02Fixed price or T&MBased on the concept, either a fixed-price offer (for clearly scoped projects) or time & material (for exploratory projects). Transparent, traceable, no fine print.
- 03Sprint-based deliveryWeekly sprints with a preview URL. You see progress live, give feedback, can re-prioritize. No 6-month black box.
- 04Launch + monitoringGo-live with load test, monitoring setup, smoke tests. The first 4 weeks: active observation — all edge cases get caught before they wake you up at night.
- 05Maintenance & evolutionOptional: care package with SLA, monthly update budget, quarterly review. Or you take over yourself — full docs and handover are standard.
Investment
No gut-feel fixed price. Understand first, then quote.
Web projects are never the same twice. Instead of a one-size-fits-all price, after the discovery workshop you get a concrete offer — either as a fixed price or as time & material with a transparent hourly rate.
No risk: first the discovery workshop, then a concrete offer — no obligation.
FAQ
Common questions.
What does a web project cost?+
It depends heavily on scope — a small internal tool is a very different beast from a SaaS platform. In the discovery workshop we estimate the effort precisely and you get a concrete offer. Just tell me briefly what you have in mind.
How long does a project take?+
Pure custom tools: 3–6 weeks. Platforms with auth/billing/custom logic: 8–14 weeks. SaaS MVPs: 12–20 weeks. After the discovery workshop you get a concrete plan with milestones.
What happens to my data?+
Hosting in DE region available (Vercel + Supabase Frankfurt). Own backups: daily automatic, 30-day retention, weekly off-site. You can request a full database dump at any time.
Do I own the code?+
Yes — fully. You get the GitHub repo, all access, technical docs. If you ever want to continue with someone else, you can — without lock-in. I don't play the classic agency-hostage game.
Who handles updates and security?+
In the care package: I do. Framework updates (Next.js, React, dependencies), security audits, performance reviews, monitoring debrief — monthly. If you take it over yourself, there's a training and docs.
What about GDPR and contracts?+
Data processing agreements with all sub-processors (Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, Resend) per GDPR Art. 28. Cookie banner, privacy policy scaffold, technical-organizational measures — all documented.
Can I start small and expand later?+
That's exactly the default path. MVP live in 8 weeks, then iterate. The architecture is designed from the start so that scaling is not a rewrite.
