Web Development Services: Websites, Web Apps and SaaS Built in Code

Our web development services cover the projects a website builder can't handle: custom-coded marketing sites, customer portals, SaaS platforms and dashboards. We build them in React, Next.js, Node.js and .NET, and we've shipped 2,000+ projects since 2014.

What are web development services?

Web development services cover the design, coding, testing and launch of websites and web applications. A web development company like Wix Engine builds the front end your visitors use, the backend and database behind it, and the integrations to your other tools. It's the right route when a template or website builder can no longer do what your business needs.

Web development services we offer

These are the custom web solutions we build. Each has its own page with the full scope, pricing and FAQs; here's what each covers and when it fits.

Custom website development

Marketing and brand websites written in code rather than assembled in a builder. You get an original design, a headless CMS your team edits, and performance and technical SEO handled from the first commit. Best for companies whose website is a primary sales channel. See custom website development.

Web application development

Software that runs in the browser: customer portals, booking engines, internal tools, progressive web apps and real-time features. A simple test: if people log in to get work done, it's a web app. See web application development.

SaaS and CRM development

Subscription products and business systems, from a focused MVP to a multi-tenant platform with Stripe billing, team roles and a public API. We also build CRMs around sales processes that off-the-shelf tools don't fit. See SaaS development.

Dashboard and portal development

Admin panels, analytics dashboards and client portals that pull data from your database, CRM or payment provider into one screen, with the right permissions for every user. See custom dashboard development.

Next.js development

Next.js gives you server rendering, static generation and React Server Components in one framework, which makes it a strong choice for content-heavy sites that need to rank and load fast. Deployed on Vercel or your own cloud. See Next.js development services.

React development

Single-page applications, complex interfaces and new front ends for existing backends, written in TypeScript with components your team can reuse. See React development.

WordPress development

Custom themes, plugins and WooCommerce stores for teams that want the WordPress ecosystem, or WordPress as a headless CMS behind a modern front end. See WordPress development.

Mobile app development

iOS and Android apps built with React Native or Flutter, often sharing one API with your web app so data stays in sync across devices. See mobile app development.

Website redesign

New design, clearer structure and sometimes a new platform for a site you already have, without throwing away the search rankings it has earned. See website redesign.

Website, web app or SaaS — which do you need?

These three get mixed up a lot, and the difference matters because it changes the budget, the team and the timeline. Here's the quick way to tell them apart.

Website Web app SaaS product
Main job Inform visitors and turn them into leads or sales Let users complete a task Sell access to software on a subscription
Who uses it Mostly anonymous visitors Logged-in customers, staff or partners Many paying customer accounts
Typical features Pages, CMS, blog, forms, search, SEO Accounts, search, booking, data entry, workflows, notifications Everything a web app has, plus tenants, plans, billing, onboarding and usage limits
Measured by Traffic, leads, sales Tasks completed, hours saved Sign-ups, retention, recurring revenue
Starts from $3,000 (custom code) $3,000 $10,000 (MVP)

You need a website if your main goal is publishing content and capturing enquiries. A marketing site may not need custom code at all — more on that below.

You need a web app if people sign in to do something: book, order, upload, track, approve or report.

You need SaaS if other businesses will pay you a recurring fee to use that web app. Multi-tenancy, subscription billing and self-serve onboarding come with that, which is why SaaS starts at a higher price.

Plenty of projects are a mix. A vacation-rental business, for example, needs a public booking site for guests and a logged-in portal for property owners. For The House Kee we built both.

No-code vs custom code: do you need a developer at all?

We build both, so we have no reason to steer you toward the more expensive option. Wix Engine started in 2014 as a Wix practice and is a Wix Legend Partner, and we write production code in React, Node.js and .NET.

There's also a middle path. You can keep Wix as your CMS and commerce backend and put a Next.js front end on top with Wix Headless development. If a builder is the right answer, compare platforms on our no-code development agency page or go straight to our Wix development services.

Advice that isn't tied to one platform

A website development agency that works in only one platform will naturally recommend that platform. We work in Wix, WordPress, Webflow and Bubble as well as custom code, so the recommendation you get reflects your project.

More than a decade of delivery

We've completed 2,000+ projects since 2014 for clients in 15+ countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and the UAE. That experience shows in the unglamorous parts: realistic estimates, edge cases caught during planning and launch checklists that exist for a reason.

A wide stack, used with restraint

Our team works across 50+ technologies, but we pick the smallest stack that does the job. Fewer moving parts means lower hosting bills and a codebase the next developer can understand.

Design before code

UI and UX design, led by Salman, our Senior Designer, happens in Figma before development starts. You approve how each screen looks and behaves before you pay for it to be built.

Your code, your accounts

Code lives in a Git repository you control, and hosting, domains and third-party services are registered in your name. Once the project is paid in full, you own the code, design files and content. If you hire in-house developers later, they inherit a documented project rather than a puzzle.

Straight answers, quickly

Email replies within 2–4 business hours, a detailed proposal within 24 hours of your call and a project estimate within 48 hours. We sign NDAs on request.

How our web development process works

  1. 01

    Discovery call (free, 30 minutes)

    We ask what you're building, who will use it and what it has to connect to. You leave with a clear recommendation on platform and approach, even if that recommendation isn't us.

  2. 02

    Written proposal (within 24 hours)

    Features, user roles, integrations, tech stack, milestones and either a fixed price or an estimate range. Nothing vague like "phase 2 TBD."

  3. 03

    UX and UI design

    Wireframes first, then high-fidelity screens or a clickable prototype. Changing a design costs far less than changing code, so we resolve open questions here.

  4. 04

    Build in milestones

    Development runs in short cycles, each ending with a staging link you can click through. You see progress every cycle, not just at the end.

  5. 05

    Testing

    Cross-browser and device testing, accessibility checks, performance budgets and a review of authentication, permissions and data handling.

  6. 06

    Launch and handover

    Deployment, monitoring, analytics setup and documentation. After that, choose ongoing support, a development retainer or a clean handover to your own team.

How much do web development services cost?

Starts from
$3,000

Custom web development with us starts from $3,000. Here's where each project type starts:

  • User roles and flows a site with one type of visitor is simpler than an app with customers, staff and admins who each see different screens.
  • Integrations every external system (CRM, ERP, payments, shipping) adds build and testing time, and more if its API is poorly documented.
  • Design depth a custom design system with illustration and motion costs more than a clean, component-based interface.
  • Data and content migration moving thousands of pages or records needs mapping, scripts and checks.
  • Security requirements single sign-on, audit logs or data-residency rules add architecture work.
Project type Starts from
Custom-coded website $3,000
Web application or dashboard $3,000
SaaS product or CRM $10,000 (MVP) · $30,000 (full platform)
Mobile app $5,000 (MVP) · $15,000 (full app)
WordPress website $400

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much do web development services cost?

Custom web development with Wix Engine starts from $3,000 for a coded website or web app, $10,000 for a SaaS MVP and $5,000 for a mobile app MVP. The final price depends on the number of user roles, integrations, design depth and data migration. After a free 30-minute call, we send a detailed proposal within 24 hours and an exact estimate within 48 hours.

How long does it take to build a custom website or web app?

Most custom marketing websites take 4–8 weeks and most web app MVPs take 6–12 weeks. Scope matters more than anything else: the number of unique page templates, user flows and integrations. Fast feedback and ready content shorten the schedule. Your proposal includes a milestone plan, so you know what's delivered when.

Should I use a website builder or hire a web development company?

Use a website builder if you need a marketing site with pages, a blog and forms, and your team wants to edit it visually. Hire a web development company when you need custom logic, user accounts, deep integrations, top-tier performance or software you'll sell. We do both, so we'll tell you honestly which fits.

Which technology stack is best for my project?

The best stack is the one that fits your requirements and your future team. For content-heavy sites that need to rank, we often recommend Next.js with a headless CMS. For data-heavy apps, React with Node.js or .NET and PostgreSQL is a common choice. We explain the trade-offs in the proposal before anything is decided.

Can you work on an existing codebase?

Yes. We start with a code review covering structure, dependencies, security and test coverage, then explain what we found in plain language. From there we can fix urgent issues, add features or plan a gradual rewrite. You won't be pushed into rebuilding from scratch unless the existing code genuinely can't support what you need.

Will I own the source code?

Yes. Once the project is paid in full, the code, design files and content are yours, and the repository, hosting and other accounts are created in your name. We also provide documentation, so any qualified developer can maintain or extend the project after handover.

Do you provide support after launch?

Yes. After launch you can choose a monthly retainer for updates, monitoring and new features, hourly support for occasional changes, or a full handover to your in-house team. Every project ends with documentation and a handover session, whichever option you pick.

Do you work with clients outside the United States?

Yes. We've delivered projects for clients in 15+ countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Italy, South Africa, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Calls are scheduled around your time zone, and email replies arrive within 2–4 business hours.
