Full-stack application builds
Front end, API layer, database design and infrastructure delivered as one coherent system - no handoff gaps between teams.
Service
Custom Web Development Services
Hand-built web applications in React, Next.js and Node.js - engineered for Core Web Vitals, accessibility and scale from day one.
Overview
Why teams bring us this work
Off-the-shelf templates stop working the moment your business gets specific. Orange Orbits builds custom web applications from the database up - the data model, the business logic, the interface and the deployment pipeline - so the software fits how your company actually operates instead of the other way round.
We have shipped over 80 projects for US companies since 2025, from four-page marketing sites that had to load in under a second to multi-tenant platforms handling thousands of concurrent users. Every build ships with documented code, automated tests and a deployment pipeline you own outright.
What you get
- Senior US-hours engineers - no junior bait-and-switch after the pitch
- Fixed-scope or dedicated-team engagements, whichever fits your budget cycle
- Code, repositories, cloud accounts and documentation belong to you from day one
- Weekly demo builds so you see working software, not status decks
- Accessibility tested to WCAG 2.2 AA - a real legal exposure for US companies
- Post-launch SLA with a named engineer, not a shared ticket queue
What is included
Six things this engagement covers
Legacy modernization
We migrate aging PHP, jQuery or WordPress-bound systems onto a modern stack without losing data, SEO equity or your team's workflow.
Headless & API-first architecture
Decoupled front ends backed by REST or GraphQL APIs, so your content and commerce layers can evolve independently.
Third-party integrations
Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Twilio, ShipStation - we wire your stack together and keep the data in sync.
Performance engineering
Core Web Vitals audits, render-path optimization, edge caching and image pipelines that move LCP under 2.5 seconds.
Security & compliance builds
OWASP-aligned development with SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI DSS requirements designed in rather than bolted on afterwards.
Process
How the work runs
Same six stages on every engagement, scaled to the size of the project.
01
Discover
We learn the business before the software - goals, constraints, competitors, the people who will use it and what success is actually measured by.
02
Define
Scope, architecture and a costed roadmap. You get documentation you own, whether or not you build it with us.
03
Design
Wireframes to a full design system, tested with real users before anyone writes production code.
04
Build
One-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each one. You see progress in software, not slide decks.
05
Launch
Load testing, security review, SEO migration checks and a rollback plan before anything goes live.
06
Grow
Post-launch measurement and iteration - because the version that launches is never the version that performs best.

FAQ
Web Development questions
How much does custom web development cost in the USA?
Most Orange Orbits projects land between $18,000 and $120,000. A marketing site with a CMS typically runs $18,000-$35,000; a customer portal or SaaS MVP runs $45,000-$120,000. We send a line-item estimate after a 45-minute scoping call - no charge, no obligation.
How long will my project take?
A content-driven website takes 5-8 weeks. A web application with authentication, dashboards and integrations takes 12-20 weeks. We work in two-week sprints and you get a working build at the end of every one.
Do you work with US time zones?
Yes. Your engagement lead and senior engineers overlap at least five hours with ET/CT/PT business hours, and you get a shared Slack channel with sub-four-hour response times.
Who owns the code you write?
You do - completely. We commit to repositories under your organization, deploy to cloud accounts in your name, and hand over full documentation. There is no proprietary framework holding you hostage.
Can you take over a project another agency started?
Frequently. We start with a paid two-week technical audit covering code quality, security, infrastructure and the realistic cost to finish. You get that report whether or not you continue with us.
