Custom Software Development

Custom software, built to ship.

We design and build custom software — web apps, internal tools, dashboards, APIs, and AI-enabled platforms — for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf SaaS. Fixed scope, transparent pricing, and the engineering discipline that keeps software maintainable long after launch.

From $8,000·4–8 weeks

Who it's for

  • SMEs whose workflow no longer fits a generic SaaS tool and needs something built around how they actually work.
  • Founders who need an MVP or v1 product built quickly without cutting the corners that matter.
  • Operations teams drowning in spreadsheets, manual data entry, and disconnected tools.
  • Companies that want AI features built into real software, not a bolt-on chatbot.

What you get

Web & internal apps

Customer-facing products or internal tools — Next.js/React front ends on a typed, tested back end.

APIs & integrations

Clean APIs and integrations that connect the tools you already pay for, instead of replacing them.

Dashboards & reporting

The numbers your team checks daily, in one place, accurate and fast.

AI where it earns its place

Search, summarisation, drafting, or agents built in — only where it measurably helps.

Production-grade foundations

Auth, roles, audit trails, error tracking, and CI so it survives real use.

Handover you own

Documented code, your repos, your cloud accounts. No lock-in to us.

How we work

1

Discovery

Map the workflow and data, agree the scope and success metrics. ~1 week.

2

Prototype

A clickable, working slice of the core flow you can react to early. ~1–2 weeks.

3

Build

Iterative delivery of the full scope with weekly demos. 2–5 weeks.

4

Launch & iterate

Deploy, hand over, and optionally retain us to extend it.

Tools & tech we use

Next.jsReactTypeScriptNode.jsFastAPIPostgreSQLFirebaseAWS / GCP

We are model- and tool-agnostic — this is a typical stack, chosen per project for your use case, cost, and data.

How we work

We sign NDAs

Mutual NDA before anything sensitive is shared. Your data and ideas stay yours.

Evals & observability

Every build ships with eval pipelines and tracing, so it keeps working after launch.

Honest timelines

Most projects ship in 3–6 weeks. We scope tight and tell you the truth about dates.

You own everything

Your code, your repos, your cloud accounts. Documented handover, no lock-in.

From $8,000

Typical first engagement · 4–8 weeks. Larger or more complex work is scoped individually — book a call and we'll talk it through.

Custom Software Development FAQ

The questions we get asked most before a project starts.

Most custom software projects with CleverHub start from $8,000 and run 4–8 weeks for a first version. The exact figure depends on scope — number of screens, integrations, and whether AI features are involved. We scope tightly and quote a fixed range before any work starts.

A focused first version typically ships in 4–8 weeks: about a week of discovery, a prototype of the core flow by week two, then iterative build with weekly demos. Larger platforms are delivered in phases so you see working software early and often.

Yes. You own the source code, repositories, and cloud accounts. We document the codebase and hand it over so your team — or any other developer — can maintain and extend it. There is no lock-in to CleverHub.

Yes, and that is a core strength. We build AI in where it measurably helps — search, summarisation, drafting, document processing, or in-app agents — with evals and cost controls, rather than bolting on a chatbot for its own sake.
