Frequently asked questions about Software development in Rostock
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 theater that gets corrected later via change request.
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 typically takes 9-15 months. We deliver a deployable increment every 2 weeks – so you continuously see progress, with no big bang risk.
We prefer using 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 complement with Elasticsearch or specialized microservices. The choice depends on the use case – we are not tied to a specific stack.
