Custom web development services
on the stack your team already runs.

We ship custom web development on Next.js, Laravel, Node, headless WordPress, and Shopify Hydrogen. Fixed-price scope quoted before start. Code lives in your git. Deployment runs through your CI. Every project graded against launch-day performance, not "it works on my machine".

Services

Five stacks.
One engineering discipline.

We work on the stack your team can maintain. Not the stack we like to sell. Every scope respects your CI, code review, and deployment discipline.

Next.js & React

Frontend and full-stack Next.js builds.

App Router, Server Components, and edge deployment on Vercel, Netlify, or self-hosted. Headless CMS integrations with Sanity, Contentful, Storyblok, or WordPress.

See Next.js scope
Laravel & Node

API-driven backends and admin panels.

Laravel with Filament or Nova for admin. Node with Fastify or NestJS. Postgres, MySQL, or MongoDB. Job queues, webhooks, and third-party integrations built to survive load.

See backend scope
Headless WordPress

WordPress as CMS, decoupled frontend.

WordPress running as a headless CMS with a Next.js, Astro, or Nuxt frontend. Content editors get familiar authoring. Frontend engineers get modern tooling.

See headless scope
Shopify Hydrogen

Custom Shopify storefronts on Hydrogen.

Shopify Hydrogen storefronts for brands past the limits of Shopify 2.0 themes. Server-rendered React, deployed on Shopify Oxygen. Custom checkout extensibility where Plus qualifies.

See Hydrogen scope
DevOps & CI

Deployment, monitoring, and code review discipline.

GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. Sentry or Datadog for monitoring. Preview environments per PR. Code review discipline baked in from day one, not bolted on.

See DevOps scope
What this service does

Custom Code, Not Custom Compromises.
Built on Your Stack.

Custom web development means your git, your CI, your review discipline. We ship code your team can maintain, extend, and audit long after the engagement ends.

Code in your git from day one.
Outcome 01

Code in your git from day one.

Every commit lands in your repository, not ours. Every deploy runs through your CI. Every rollback under your control. Handoff is a day-90 formality because ownership was written into day 1.

Architecture that survives handoff.
Outcome 02

Architecture that survives handoff.

Decision log, storybook, API contracts, test coverage, and runbook shipped with the code. The engineer who takes over from us at month 12 has everything they need on day one.

Integrations that do not break on version bumps.
Outcome 03

Integrations that do not break on version bumps.

Semver pinning on every dependency. Contract tests per integration. CI runs against sandbox APIs. Salesforce, Stripe, and HubSpot version bumps become reviews, not surprises.

Why teams pick us

Three Reasons Beat
freelance engineers and offshore shops.

Freelancers ghost. Offshore shops rotate teams and quality. We name one engineer per account, ship weekly, and deploy on your infrastructure.

Same engineer, no rotation.
Reason 01

Same engineer, no rotation.

The engineer you meet on the kickoff is on every code review, every prod incident, and every launch. Reachable by Slack and phone. No junior handoff after week 2.

Weekly production deploys.
Reason 02

Weekly production deploys.

Small increments through staging to production every week. Not three-month waterfalls followed by a big-bang launch. Feedback loop tight enough to change course when needed.

Your code, your infrastructure.
Reason 03

Your code, your infrastructure.

Runs on your AWS, GCP, or Azure account under your billing. No hidden SaaS wrappers. IaC in your git. Rotate our credentials whenever you want. Zero vendor lock-in.

Who this is for

The Fit Below Tells You
in 60 Seconds Whether the Call Is Worth Booking.

Custom development moves the number most for three types of teams. If you see yours below, the audit call is worth 30 minutes.

SaaS and product teams needing frontend or infrastructure help.
Segment 01

SaaS and product teams needing frontend or infrastructure help.

Marketing site and product app share a design system. Your backend team focuses on the core product. Hiring cycles are too slow for the front-of-house work you need shipped this quarter.

Ecommerce brands migrating to headless.
Segment 02

Ecommerce brands migrating to headless.

Shopify to Hydrogen or Next. Custom PDP and PLP with sub-second LCP targets. Feed integration with Klaviyo and GA4 that survives every platform update.

Enterprises with legacy stack modernization.
Segment 03

Enterprises with legacy stack modernization.

Sitecore or Drupal moving to a modern stack. Zero-downtime cutover. Data migration with URL preservation. Compliance-safe rollout on a phased plan.

What we will not do

Three Commitments
Most Agencies Refuse to Make.

Written into every engagement letter. The differences between engineering shops show up in the contract, the code review policy, and the way rollback plans get handled six weeks in.

No offshore engineering after kickoff.
01 · Never

No offshore engineering after kickoff.

The engineer you meet at kickoff writes the code. No senior on the pitch and juniors on the account. US business hours. Direct Slack access. Named on every pull request.

Open standards only.
02 · Never

Open standards only.

React, Node, Postgres, Kubernetes. Boring, hire-able technology your next engineer already knows. No proprietary frameworks. No niche languages nobody hires for.

No launch without documented rollback.
03 · Never

No launch without documented rollback.

Every deploy has a one-command undo. Reversible migrations. Signed runbook per engineer. Backup restore is never the recovery plan.

How we work

Four stages.
Every step tied to revenue.

Every engagement follows the same path. Find what's moving revenue. Fix what isn't. Compound the growth. You see progress every week.

01Audit

Find the leaks

A channel-by-channel teardown benchmarked against revenue, not vanity metrics. You get the findings whether or not we work together.

02Position

Sharpen the offer

Messaging, ideal customer, and channel-fit aligned before we spend a single dollar of your budget.

03Build

Ship the assets

Sites, landing pages, funnels, and automation. Built to convert and handed over fully owned by you.

04Scale

Compound the growth

Ongoing paid, SEO, and optimization tied to weekly performance reviews you can actually read.

Selected work

Real clients,
real numbers, no made-up metrics.

Each case shipped in the last 18 months. Every breakdown includes the diagnosis, the fix, and the 90-day trajectory. Not just the win.

Notes from the team

Weekly plays from a
growth marketing agency actually shipping campaigns.

Written by the people who actually run the campaigns and build the sites. No thought-leadership filler. If we haven't tried it on a real client account, we don't publish it.

What custom web development services do you offer?

We ship Next.js and React frontends, Laravel and Node backends, headless WordPress, Shopify Hydrogen, and DevOps setup. Every project is run by a senior engineer with hands-on production experience in the stack you already run.

How much does custom development cost?

Custom builds at Redefine Web usually land between $35,000 and

80,000 depending on scope, integration count, and stack complexity. Every project is fixed-price quoted before start. Time and materials only when a discovery phase is required first.

How long does a custom build take?

Median build-to-launch on custom scope is 9 weeks. Smaller scopes (single-app frontends, admin panels) ship in 4 to 6 weeks. Larger scopes (multi-service backends, headless commerce migrations) run 12 to 20 weeks. Every project ships on a signed timeline.

Do we own the code?

Yes. Code sits in your git from day one. We commit into your repository under our own dev accounts. When we part ways, we hand over full documentation and revoke our own access. No proprietary tooling. No license lock-in.

What is your code review process?

Every PR gets reviewed by a senior engineer other than the author before merge. Tests run in CI. Preview environments deploy per PR so QA and product review the actual build, not screenshots. This is not optional.

Do you handle DevOps and infrastructure?

Yes. GitHub Actions or GitLab CI for CI. Sentry or Datadog for monitoring. Vercel, Netlify, Fly, Railway, AWS, or self-hosted deployment. Infrastructure-as-code where the scope warrants it (Terraform or Pulumi). Not a bolt-on.

Do you work with our in-house engineers?

Yes. Mixed teams (our seniors + your team) are common. We can lead architecture and code review as your engineers ship features. Or we can ship an initial build and hand off to your team. Whichever fits your hiring plan.

What are the 3 free fixes for our current app?

The 3 free fixes are the output of a free 30-minute engineering audit. A senior engineer reviews your Core Web Vitals, your architecture and observability setup, and your CI/CD flow, then names the three specific changes we would ship first based on where the app is losing engineering velocity or user performance right now.

Do you sign NDAs, MSAs, and IP-assignment clauses?

Yes. Standard mutual NDA before any code access, MSA + SOW before engagement start, and every deliverable ships with a work-for-hire IP assignment clause so ownership transfers to you at final invoice.

Get your 3 free fixes

The offer is three specific fixes.

30-minute audit of your paid, organic, and site conversion. You walk away with three specific fixes we'd ship first, whether or not you hire us.
