Web application development in Vancouver

Start with the product and the people who will maintain it. We build with TypeScript across the front end, back end, database and APIs, using a stack such as Next.js, React, Node.js and PostgreSQL. Next.js and React suit products with rich interfaces and give you one language across the front and back end. If your own team already works in PHP, Ruby or Python, Laravel, Rails or Django could fit its existing skills.

Hosting and account services are separate choices. Managed platforms such as Vercel, Supabase and Firebase reduce setup and server upkeep; running directly on AWS or Google Cloud gives you more control, with more operations work. Proven sign-in and billing services also remove substantial edge-case work. Custom account or billing systems need more effort, but fit unusual pricing models or strict data rules. We help you weigh these choices against what you need to build and maintain.

British Columbia has its own private-sector privacy law, while PIPEDA sets federal rules for personal information in commercial activity. If your product holds customer information, we set up customer workspaces and roles with separation between each customer's data. The information you collect and who needs access should shape those screens and permissions.

For subscription payments, businesses in Canada can sign up with Stripe. We set up subscription payments alongside sign-up, login, teams and roles, so the account and billing parts of your product work together.

Bring what you have; we can agree the scope with you.

• Users and tasksWho will use the product, what job they need done, how they do it now and what they would stop using.

• Existing assetsDesigns, prototypes, repositories, domain, hosting and third-party accounts, with admin access.
• Data constraintsThe personal or sensitive data involved, your customers and any enterprise security reviews.
• First-version prioritiesThe features you think users need for the product to be useful.

  Applying a payment twice

  Payment webhooks can arrive more than once or out of order. Handlers should skip events already processed and avoid depending on their order.

  Launching without product analytics

  Track sign-ups, activation steps and feature use from the first release, so you can see where users get stuck.

  Releasing without a safety net

  Use a staging environment and tested backups, so a release or mistake does not immediately become a live incident.
