Mezocare helps international patients find affordable medical treatment in other countries. We built their platform to help people find the right doctors and treatments in other countries.

We also organized and structured the content clearly so people can compare treatments without getting overwhelmed.

A Custom Real Estate Solution

RE/MAX Costa Rica was stuck using third-party software that limited what they could do with property listings. They had no real control.

We built them a custom site with their own listing database, better search tools and features brokers actually need, like exporting listings to PDF.

Now they can easily manage and show properties while the clients get a better user experience.

We rebuilt their website and helped them improve their rankings in search with better strategy, messaging that converts, responsive design and high-quality SEO.

We fixed their keyword targeting, improved content and cleaned up technical problems. Six months later, organic traffic increased 14 times over.

Bang & Olufsen sells premium audio equipment.

We designed their eCommerce site to reflect the high-end look of their products and provide a smooth checkout process.

Both design and the sales funnel focus on making the experience work well for users, and as a result, brand visibility increased as well as customer engagement.

Web Development Services & Expertise

Brands come to us when they need to build something new or fix what isn't working.

Sometimes that's a custom website. Sometimes it's a web application with a dozen integrations that all need to talk to each other. Our web development services company handles both and everything in between.

End-To-End Web Development

This is the core of what we do. Our front-end and back-end teams work together to build sites that load fast, perform well and hold up over time.

eCommerce Web Development

We build eCommerce stores that sell. Our strategists, designers and developers work together through every stage of your project, from platform selection to launch.

Mobile App Development

We design and develop mobile apps for Android and iOS that people want to use.

Web App Development

Not every project is a website. Some of our best work has been building web applications, such as customer portals, internal tools, custom platforms and things that need to work perfectly every single time someone logs in.

Software Development

Our web development engineers specialize in customization and integrations. If your systems don’t connect the way they should or your platform needs functionality that doesn’t exist out of the box, that’s the kind of problem we like solving.

Our Web Development Process

We don’t start building until we know what success looks like for you.

We spend time researching your market, looking at what competitors are up to and talking to your team about what’s worked before and what hasn’t.

That research shapes the entire web development strategy going forward.

At this stage, we map out how your site will work. We build out user flows, create your sitemap and wireframe the key pages so the structure supports conversions from the start.

Every decision here ties back to how real people will use your site.

If a visitor has to think too hard about where to click next, something went wrong in this phase.

Your site should feel like your brand the moment someone lands on it.

Our designers create custom layouts with anything from illustrations and animations to interactive features that move people through the page.

We also build accessibility and SEO into the design from day one because a site that looks incredible but nobody can find or use isn’t doing its job.

More than half of your traffic is probably coming from a phone.

Our web development services team builds every site to perform across all screen sizes and devices.

We pull insights from user behavior and touchpoint data, turn approved designs into a flexible front end and test everything thoroughly so the experience holds up no matter how someone finds you.

A button that doesn’t respond or a page that crawls on mobile can make your visitors leave your site. So we test. A lot. Across browsers, across devices and across scenarios your users will run into.

We use QA tools we trust and we keep you in the loop the whole time so by the time launch comes around, you already know exactly what to expect.

We have a launch protocol for a reason. We’ve done this enough times to know what can go wrong, so we account for it.

After launch, our web development support services keep things running with security patches, performance checks and updates when you need them.

Web Development Technologies We Work With

Our web development services start with understanding what you need and scoping the project around that.

Every build is different, but most share common elements, like payments, shipping, user accounts and content management that help us decide which platform makes the most sense for you.

WordPress, Shopify and Magento website examples
g10

WordPress

Most people have heard of WordPress and there’s a reason it powers so much of the web. It’s flexible, it’s open-source and it works for everything from corporate sites to full-scale eCommerce stores.

Our team builds custom themes and plugins so your site doesn’t look or feel like anyone else’s.

The platform runs on PHP and has a massive community behind it, which means when we hand the site over to you, there’s no shortage of resources to help your team manage content and keep things running.

g10 (1)

Shopify

Shopify is where we point clients who want to get to market fast without sacrificing quality.

It’s hosted, secure and scales without you having to think about servers.

We build custom storefronts and pull in third-party apps when your store needs functionality beyond what comes out of the box. It’s cloud-based with solid APIs, so integrations are straightforward and the store stays easy to manage as you grow.

g10 (2)

Adobe Commerce (Magento)

Adobe Commerce (Magento) is for the bigger, more complex builds. If you need advanced product management, B2B features, multi-warehouse or multi-store setups, this is the platform that can handle all of it.

Our web development firm uses Magento’s PHP framework to build custom modules tailored to what your business requires.

It requires more development resources than some of the other options, but Adobe Commerce gives you plenty of room to build exactly what you need.

WooCommerce_logo 1

WooCommerce

WooCommerce is built on WordPress, so if your team already knows that ecosystem, the learning curve is minimal.

It’s open source and our developers add the right plugins and performance tweaks to make sure it holds up under real traffic.

We treat WooCommerce projects the same way we treat everything else, which means that strategy and architecture come before anyone starts building.

Technology Stack And Tools

We work across four platforms: WordPress, Magento, Shopify and React.

Based on the specific type of project we will choose which platform will work the best.

WordPress & WooCommerce
placeholder
WordPress & WooCommerce

WordPress is our platform for informational sites, including corporate builds, that need a strong CMS.

It’s well supported, the ecosystem is extensive and it’s the right choice when clients need to manage their own content without relying on a developer for every update.

We also build on WooCommerce for clients who need ecommerce functionality within WordPress.

All WordPress and WooCommerce development is built on PHP, with HTML, CSS and JavaScript handling the front end.

It needs to be set up and maintained properly. Poorly built WordPress sites are slow and a security risk – but done right it’s a solid, long-term solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re a full-service web development agency, which means we don’t just build your site and hand it off.

Our team handles strategy, design, development, QA and post-launch support under one roof.

Every project gets a dedicated team that includes strategists, designers and developers.

And we don’t use templates. Everything we build is custom, which is why the sites we deliver perform the way they do.

Depends on what you need. A straightforward site moves faster than one with complex integrations, multilingual content or advanced eCommerce logic.

Every project goes through strategy, planning, design, development, QA and launch and some of those phases naturally take longer than others.

Once we finish discovery together, we’ll give you a timeline that’s realistic and specific to your project.

There’s no flat rate because every project is different. How complex is the design? How many pages? Are there integrations involved? All of that changes the number.

We will give you a quote once we’ve sat down and scoped the project properly.

That starts with a discovery phase during which our goal is to understand exactly what you need, then we come back with a scope, timeline and honest estimate.

We work across WordPress, Shopify, Adobe Commerce (Magento) and WooCommerce.

Our Dev team also does custom web application development with PHP and headless builds.

Which platform we recommend comes down to your project. Our web development services team looks at your goals and your team’s needs before suggesting anything.

Both are options and the right call depends on where your current site stands.

Sometimes a redesign makes more sense. Other times, the existing codebase or platform is holding you back and starting fresh is the smarter move.

We audit what you have first, look at the content, data structure and SEO elements and then recommend a path that protects what’s already working while fixing what isn’t.

We stick around. Our web development support services cover security updates, performance monitoring, backups and optimization on an ongoing basis.

If you need something fixed six months from now, you can call us.

We also offer hosting and can help build out a digital marketing strategy so your site gets the traffic it deserves.

As involved as you want to be, but there are certain stages where your input matters most, such as strategy, design approvals and content. We set up a project plan early and check in regularly.

You’ll see the work at every major stage and we won’t move forward without your sign-off. If something needs your attention, we ask.

You’re never left wondering where things stand.

We do.

We look at the tools your business already runs on and figure out the best way to connect them to your site. CRMs, ERPs, payment systems, shipping tools, our web development firm has handled all of it.

Honestly, most clients don’t know the answer to this one when they first reach out, and that’s fine.

WordPress, Shopify, Adobe Commerce (Magento), WooCommerce all do different things well.

During discovery, our team looks at your goals, how your team works and where you want to be in a couple of years. Then we recommend the platform that makes the most sense.

  • Information Architecture


  • Frontend design and development

  • Quality assurance and testing

Let’s dive into that list of benefits to help you understand the advantages of having a custom website, app, eCommerce platform or any other digital product.

The reasons for building custom solutions may vary, depending on your business industry, custom solution type (do you need a website, a web app, a membership platform, an eCommerce website or something else?), your business growth plan, your long-term goals and other factors.



One of the main reasons to invest in custom solutions is to offer an excellent user experience to your existing and potential customers, guided by experts in the field.

  • You want to engage your audience with a unique, distinctive design and your audience expects nothing less from you: This is especially true for large organizations and industry leaders (think Google, Apple or IBM) which may see templates as an unacceptable solution


  • You have an idea for an innovative digital product: But you need help from experts to turn it into reality; this can work well for VC-backed start-ups and fast-growing companies


  • You have a big budget and complete creative freedom to design and develop a bold website that will truly stand out, even if it’s only to showcase your portfolio

Typically, custom web development services include:




  • Frontend and backend web development: This includes UI/UX design, original content and a customized backend system, built from scratch or based on open-source CMS platforms.


  • Responsive website design and development: A responsive website that automatically fits different screen sizes from desktop to mobile is practically a web standard nowadays; you can also build a mobile-first website with a focus on mobile design that will then expand to fit the desktop screen size.
