Frequently asked questions about Software development in Hannover
For a production-ready B2B web application in the MVP stage, you can expect costs between 80,000 and 300,000 EUR – highly dependent on complexity, integrations, and UI depth. We work with transparent daily rates and provide an effort estimation with confidence intervals before each project. No fixed-price theatrics that will later be corrected through change requests.
A typical B2B MVP takes 4-6 months from concept to production launch. A more extensive platform with multi-tenancy, multiple integrations, and mobile apps takes about 9-15 months. We deliver a deployable increment every two weeks – so you see continuous progress, with no big bang risk.
We preferably use Laravel (PHP) for the backend and Next.js/React or Livewire for the frontends. Tailwind CSS, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis – a proven, maintainable stack without hype components. For very data-intensive use cases, we supplement with Elasticsearch or specialized microservices. The choice depends on the use case – we are not tied to a specific stack.
