I build browser-based applications with accounts, permissions and an admin area shaped around the people using them. A business owner, a customer and an administrator often need different views of the same data. Those boundaries belong in the backend as well as the interface.
NearYou is an example of this approach, with a Next.js frontend and a Node.js backend for clients, businesses and administrators. For a new project, the stack follows the requirements. We agree on the data model, integrations and the smallest useful first release before expanding it.
What we can build
- Customer or member accounts with defined access rules
- Admin dashboards for your actual operations
- Bookings, workflows and integrations where required
- Database migrations, backups and a tested deployment process
When it makes sense
A good fit when an existing product cannot handle a core workflow or several disconnected tools create repetitive work. For common needs, a ready-made service may cost less to operate.
Know what happens before we start
Agree the scope
The goal, pages, features, languages and materials become a proposal with costs, timing and responsibilities.
Review an early version
You see the structure and workflows before release. We discuss extra requests separately so the scope stays clear.
Check and hand over
We check phones and desktops, forms and access. Handover covers the agreed repositories, credentials, instructions and maintenance arrangements.
A handover you can use
- Agreed code and accounts, with credentials shared through an appropriate channel.
- Instructions for content updates and recurring operations.
- Documented external costs, backups and operational responsibilities.
After the launch
Updates, backup checks and new features need a plan. We agree what is included, who responds and how requests are handled. Round-the-clock support is not included unless explicitly agreed.
Hosting and maintenance →Questions before starting
Can you connect an existing system?
Usually through its API or a supported import. I first check the available endpoints, access permissions, limits and data format. The integration scope belongs in the proposal.
Can we release a smaller version first?
Yes. We can start with one complete workflow, test it with the intended users and then choose the next features from what they actually need.
