Laravel, Node.js or .NET? Custom software in the stack that fits

Custom software is built for your business rather than bought off the shelf: portals, platforms, internal tools and APIs shaped around your workflows and systems. We build it in Laravel, Node.js or .NET, depending on what suits your team and infrastructure.

Laravel suits content-rich platforms and admin-heavy applications, Node.js suits real-time features and JavaScript-first teams, and .NET suits enterprise and Microsoft environments. We recommend the stack that fits your team, hosting and existing systems.

Yes. We start with a code review covering architecture, dependencies, security and tests, then tell you what we’d keep, fix and replace before taking it on.

Yes. We plan upgrades in stages, update dependencies, add automated tests and release on a staging environment that matches production before going live.

Yes. We build REST and GraphQL APIs and connect platforms to CRM, ERP, payments and ticketing systems, such as Sydney Festival’s integration with Enta and FleetPartners’ automated credit checks.

Yes. We build fast, accessible front ends in React and Next.js, like the Sydney Festival Digital Archive, server-rendered in Next.js on Node.js.

On the infrastructure that suits your platform and team, including AWS, with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and staging that matches production.

You do. You get the repositories, documentation and handover notes, so there’s no lock-in. If you ever move the platform to another team or bring it in-house, everything they need is already in your hands.

It depends on scope. Discovery and solution design take about four weeks, and a first release usually follows within a few months, delivered in fortnightly sprints.

Cost depends on the scope, the number of integrations, the stack and how much data needs to be migrated. Starting with a focused first release keeps the initial investment lower. After discovery, you get a fixed scope and price for the first release, with real-time scope reporting during the build.

Yes. The developers who build your platform support it under SLAs, covering monitoring, security patching, framework upgrades and ongoing improvements. That keeps Laravel, Node.js and .NET versions current and avoids costly rebuilds later.

Yes. Our developers work in-house from our Surry Hills studio in Sydney, so you deal directly with the people designing, building and supporting your software.
