# Web Application Development Services Custom admin dashboards, CRM systems, SaaS MVPs and product configurators. Laravel + Filament + Vue + Astro · 15+ years of experience · EUR pricing. **Canonical:** https://spoko.space/web-application-development-services/ **Language:** en --- ## Web applications, not brochure websites You are looking for web application development services — which means you need software that does something, not just a website that describes your business. Users will log in, enter data, run operations, and rely on the app as a tool. I build web applications for three types of client: - **Startups** launching a SaaS MVP — turning an idea into a validated product in 2–4 months without a full engineering team - **Small and mid-size businesses** digitalizing an internal process — CRM, inventory, ordering, scheduling, reporting - **Enterprise teams** needing a senior frontend or full-stack contractor for a specific feature or module My stack of choice is **Laravel + Filament** for the backend and admin panel, **Vue 3** or **Astro** for the public frontend, and a clean REST/GraphQL API connecting the two. ## Types of web applications I deliver - **Admin dashboards and internal tools** — product catalogs, order management, inventory tracking, analytics dashboards. Often built on Filament for rapid delivery. Real example: garage inventory system with QR-code scanning. - **CRM and workflow systems** — custom CRM applications when off-the-shelf (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) doesn't fit. Workflow tools for approvals, scheduling, task assignment. - **SaaS MVPs for startups** — get from idea to a validation-ready MVP in 2–4 months. Production-quality code from day one. Laravel + Vue + Stripe subscriptions is a common pattern. - **Product configurators and calculators** — interactive tools that help customers choose the right product or estimate a quote. Can live as an island inside a marketing site (Astro + Vue). - **Customer and partner portals** — secure portals where customers, distributors, or partners log in to see their data — order history, invoices, documentation, pricing. - **REST and GraphQL APIs** — backend APIs for mobile apps, headless frontends, or third-party integrations. Authentication (JWT, OAuth), rate limiting, versioning, Swagger/OpenAPI docs. ## Why Laravel + Filament + Vue for most apps My default stack for custom web applications is **Laravel + Filament + Vue 3 + Astro**: - **Laravel** — the PHP ecosystem has matured enormously. Eloquent, queued jobs, Livewire, solid documentation. For 90% of B2B apps, a good Laravel developer ships 2× faster than a full JavaScript team. - **Filament** — an admin panel builder on top of Laravel. What would take 2–3 weeks of custom dashboard development ships in 2–3 days with Filament. Production-ready, customizable. - **Vue 3** — for the public frontend or interactive islands. Simpler than React, first-class TypeScript, composition API. - **Astro** — for marketing pages around the application, content-heavy landing pages, and the public-facing part of SaaS products. For clients with existing React, Next.js, or Node.js infrastructure, I adapt — the stack is a tool, not a religion. ## Do you actually need a web application? You need a web application if: - Users will log in with accounts and have private data - Your business process will live inside the software - Different users see different data based on their role - You need to automate what currently takes manual work - You are building a product, not a marketing site If you answer "no" to all of these, you probably need a [website](https://spoko.space/web-development/) with interactive elements, not a full application. ## Web application development pricing Net prices, VAT added where applicable. - **MVP / internal tool** — from €4,000. Filament-based admin panel, one primary user role, core CRUD + key business logic, authentication + basic reporting. 2–4 month delivery. - **Custom application** — from €12,000. Multiple user roles and permissions, public frontend + admin panel, third-party integrations, custom workflows and automation, role-based reporting. 3–6 month delivery. - **SaaS / enterprise** — from €30,000. Multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing (Stripe), API for partners/mobile apps, advanced permission model, scalable infrastructure. 6+ month delivery. ## Web application project process 1. **Discovery and scoping** — 60–90 minute call. I come back with a scope document before any code — no ambiguous "time and materials" pricing. 2. **MVP definition** — the smallest set of features that delivers real value. Usually 60% of the "wish list" and 30% of the budget. 3. **Iterative development** — two-week sprints with a live demo at the end of each. Feedback shapes the next sprint. 4. **Testing and deployment** — automated tests for critical paths, staging environment, then production with rollback plan. CI/CD pipeline set up. 5. **Ongoing support** — 30 days of free fixes after launch. Monthly retainer or hourly for ongoing work. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you build a web application as a solo freelancer? For projects up to around 6 months of focused work, yes — and faster than an agency with the same budget. I handle backend (Laravel), frontend (Vue/Astro), database design, deployment, and basic DevOps. ### How long does it take to build an MVP? A focused MVP typically takes 2–4 months. The biggest variable is not technical work but the client's decision speed on feature scope, integrations, and designs. ### What does Filament do and why do you recommend it? Filament is a Laravel-based admin panel builder. It generates CRUD interfaces, forms, tables, and dashboards from your data model — production-ready out of the box. What would take 2–3 weeks of custom React admin panel development ships in 2–3 days with Filament. ### Do you work with existing teams or take full ownership? Both. I can lead a project end-to-end as the single developer, or join an existing team as a senior frontend/full-stack contractor. ### How do you handle ongoing maintenance? I offer monthly retainers (fixed hours at a discounted rate) or hourly ad-hoc work. For critical business applications, a retainer is strongly recommended. ### Is it worth building custom instead of using no-code tools? No-code tools are great for quick internal tools with simple logic. A good rule: if the tool would take 40+ hours to build in no-code workarounds, custom development is usually cheaper in total cost of ownership. ### Can you integrate with our existing systems? Yes — most projects involve integrating with something: Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Resend, SendGrid, Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, GA4, Segment. We cover this in the discovery call. ## Contact Get a free quote: https://spoko.space/contact/ Email: contact@spoko.space
