FAQ

Web development questions

Web development questions

Web development questions

How much does custom web development cost?

It depends on the engagement. Senior engineers through Team Embed start at $8,500 per engineer per month. Scoped builds are quoted as a fixed price after a scoping call. If you already have an app and want to know what it needs before investing more, the Production Readiness Audit is a fixed $4,900.

How long does it take to build a web application?

A focused MVP usually takes 8 to 12 weeks. Larger platforms are delivered in phases, with working software in production every sprint rather than one big launch at the end.

Which technologies do you use for web development?

Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Python and Java on the backend, React and Next.js on the frontend, PostgreSQL for data, Solidus and Shopify for eCommerce, and OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Gemini for AI features. We recommend the stack that fits your team and roadmap, not the one we prefer.

Can you take over an existing web app?

Yes. Much of our work is on codebases someone else started, including apps built fast with AI tools. We start by reviewing the code, then fix what blocks production before adding features.

Who owns the code?

You do. Code lives in your repositories from the first commit, and you keep full ownership of the code, infrastructure and documentation.

Should I hire a project team or augment my own?

If you have an engineering team and need more senior capacity, Team Embed adds engineers to your squad. If you need a product built end to end, we run it as a scoped project with our own design, engineering and QA. Many clients start one way and move to the other.
