Custom web development: websites and web applications designed to perform, scale and be easy to manage.

We design and build custom websites and web applications for companies that need more than a template. Performance, search visibility, accessibility and analytics are planned into the build from the start.

How long does a website take to build?
Most business websites take around 6–8 weeks from discovery to launch.
How much does a website cost?
A business website starts from €1,800, a landing page from €600 and a redesign from €1,500.
Who owns the code and project accounts?
Your domains, accounts and project access remain under your control from the start.

What this service includes

Every project starts with a clear written scope. You own the code and accounts, your team gets a CMS where appropriate, and you can review progress on staging throughout development.

  • Corporate websites, service sites and landing pages built around clear content, strong usability and measurable actions. Your team gets a site that is fast, easy to manage and structured for search from the start.

    Case study: ASG Klimatechnik
  • Client portals, dashboards, booking systems and internal tools with the authentication, permissions, integrations and data workflows the product requires.

    Web Application Development
  • Custom online stores built around the way your business actually sells — from catalogue and checkout to payments, inventory, fulfilment and the systems behind them.

    E-commerce Development
  • A CMS configured around the way your team works, so content, images and pages can be updated without developer support. We provide access, structure and a walkthrough before handover.

    News Portal Development
  • Performance is tested throughout development across realistic devices and network conditions. We optimise loading, rendering and interaction to keep the experience fast and Core Web Vitals in good shape.

    Case study: Studio PortMix
  • Rebuild an existing website or move to a new stack while preserving content, URLs and search signals wherever possible. Redirects, indexing and key functionality are checked before and after launch.

Common reasons companies come to us

  • The current website is slow on mobile, inconsistent across devices or simply no longer meets the expectations of the people using it.
  • The platform has become difficult to change. Routine updates require developer time, take too long or depend on systems the internal team cannot manage.
  • There is no reliable measurement of what the website contributes. Analytics, conversions and key user actions were never set up properly, so decisions are made without useful data.

Chosen for the work, not for the trend

We choose tools based on the requirements of the project, your existing systems and what will be practical to maintain after delivery. Below are the technologies we typically use for this type of work, and why.

  • Next.js + React

    For fast, modern interfaces that can be rendered efficiently, indexed properly by search engines and extended as the product grows. A strong fit for both content-driven websites and more complex web applications.

    Next.js Development
  • TypeScript

    Adds structure and type safety to the codebase, catching many errors before they reach production and making larger projects easier to maintain and hand over.

  • Node.js

    Used for APIs, integrations and server-side functionality when JavaScript across the stack keeps the architecture simpler and development more consistent.

  • Tailwind CSS

    Helps us translate the design system into consistent interface rules, making components easier to maintain as the website or application grows.

  • PostgreSQL

    A mature relational database for projects that need structured data, reliable transactions and room to grow without changing the data layer later.

  • Hetzner

    EU-based infrastructure for projects that need reliable hosting, predictable performance and straightforward scaling. Backups, monitoring and deployment are managed as part of the hosting setup.

  • Stripe

    For secure online payments, subscriptions and checkout flows, with support for cards, digital wallets and the payment methods appropriate to the project.

The work stays with you

  • Ownership without lock-in

    Your domains, accounts and project access are kept under your control from the start. Once the project is paid in full, the completed source code and agreed project assets are yours, with no dependency on Luminor to keep them running.

  • A CMS your team can manage

    Content is structured so your team can handle routine updates without a developer, with the access, documentation and walkthrough needed for handover.

  • Performance tested before handover

    We test performance on realistic devices and network conditions, review Core Web Vitals and address issues within the project scope before handover. The results are documented as part of the final review.

  • Measurement from day one

    Analytics and key conversion events are configured as part of the build, giving you a baseline for understanding how the new website is being used and what should be improved next.

Ask a question
01How long does a website take to build?

Most business websites take around 6–8 weeks from discovery to launch. Larger web applications and e-commerce projects typically take longer, depending on functionality, integrations and content. Your exact timeline is agreed in the written scope before work begins, with staging access throughout development.

02How much does a website cost?

A business website starts from €1,800, a landing page from €600 and a redesign from €1,500. The final price depends on the number of pages, functionality and integrations; you receive it in writing after a short call, and it does not change.

03Who owns the code and project accounts?

Your domains, accounts and project access remain under your control from the start. Once the project is paid in full, the completed source code and agreed project assets are yours. We do not build dependencies that require you to stay with Luminor.

04Will I be able to update the website myself?

Yes. Where a CMS is part of the project, we configure it around the content your team needs to manage, such as pages, text, images and articles. Before handover, we provide access, documentation and a walkthrough so routine updates do not require a developer.

05How do you work across different time zones?

Our working hours overlap with both European and North American business hours. Scope, decisions, progress updates and staging links are documented in writing, so the project keeps moving without every decision requiring a meeting.

06Will rebuilding our website affect our SEO?

A rebuild can affect search performance if the migration is handled poorly, which is why SEO is part of the process from the start. We review existing URLs and search visibility, map redirects, preserve important content and metadata where appropriate, and verify indexing after launch.

07What happens after launch?

The first 30 days of post-launch support are included. We monitor the site, resolve issues related to the delivered scope and help your team settle into the CMS. After that, you can continue with ongoing hosting and support or manage the website independently using the documentation provided.
