Custom Software Development

We build custom software designed around your business processes and ready to grow.

From web applications to SaaS platforms, admin panels to B2B portals, automation to integrations: we analyse, design and build the digital systems your business needs, from scratch.

  • Custom architecture
  • Design and code in one place
  • Scalable infrastructure
  • Post-launch support
When Off-the-Shelf Software Doesn't Fit

Don't bend your business to the software. Let's build the software around your business.

Every business has its own processes, user roles, data structure and way of operating. When you reach the limits of ready-made systems, we build a software architecture of your own: one that simplifies your processes, talks to your existing infrastructure and expands as your business grows.

Signs you have hit the limit

  • Critical processes run in spreadsheets and chat groups.
  • Your tools don't connect. The same data is entered in three places.
  • Every new requirement gets a "that's not possible" from the ready-made system.
  • There is no secure workspace for your dealers, customers or field team.
End-to-End Product Development

We don't just write code. We design a working product.

What We Build

One technology partner for different needs.

Web Applications

Custom web-based applications with user login, role management, data processing and advanced business logic.

SaaS Platforms

Scalable digital products with membership, subscription, payment, authorisation and management infrastructure.

Admin Panels and Internal Systems

Panels that run operations, sales, customers, orders, reporting or field processes from one place.

B2B and Client Portals

Dedicated platforms where your dealers, customers or partners transact securely.

Automation Systems

Systems that automate repetitive manual work, data flows, notifications and operations.

API and System Integrations

Integrations that make ERP, CRM, payment, accounting, shipping, email, SMS and other services work as one system.

Technical Confidence for Enterprise Projects

We build systems meant to last, with tomorrow in mind.

A large project doesn't buy a framework. It buys a team that can manage risk. The items below are part of the scope in every project.

Roles and permissions

Each user can access only the areas they need. Permissions are kept on record.

Secure data architecture

Secure application principles for data access, sessions and critical operations.

Scalable architecture

A structure that lets new users, modules and integrations be added later.

Testing and quality control

Critical user flows are tested systematically before release.

Staging and production environments

New work is verified in a safe environment before it reaches the live system.

Backup and monitoring

Error tracking, logging, uptime monitoring and data backups, as each project requires.

Technical documentation

Documentation that makes the system easy to extend and to hand over to another team.

Source code and data ownership

Once the project fee is settled, the source code, a database backup and service access are handed over to you. It is in the contract.

Live Products We Built

We use the systems we build, every day.

The screens below are real screenshots of the Şahan Design panel. Our clients use it to follow their orders, payments, deliveries and conversations with us. Not sample data, but a live product.

The site you are browsing right now is our own work as well. Its design, code and infrastructure were built by the Şahan Design team. We measure and publish its speed scores.

The Şahan Design Difference

Enterprise development discipline, without big-agency bureaucracy.

The strategic, design and technical sides of the project are managed from one place. The expertise a project needs comes together within the same system. That way, the project never gets lost between departments. Decisions are faster and the product language stays consistent.

Abdullah Şahan leads the creative and technical direction of every project. Our boutique team of designers and developers, based in different cities, comes together around what each project needs.

  • One point of contact, one decision centre
  • Design and code in the same system
  • Quote, contract and payment steps in the panel
Process

From idea to a live system.

We run every project through the same six steps. You can see in the panel which step you're on.

  1. 01

    Discovery and analysis

    Business goal, users, current processes and problems.

  2. 02

    Scope and technical planning

    Modules, user roles, integrations and project scope.

  3. 03

    UX/UI and prototype

    Core flows become visible before development starts.

  4. 04

    Software development

    Frontend, backend, database and integrations.

  5. 05

    Testing and acceptance

    Functional tests, critical flows and user acceptance.

  6. 06

    Launch and continuity

    Go-live, monitoring, maintenance and new development.

Technology

The right technology for the right problem.

We don't force every project onto the same technology. We choose the technical architecture based on performance, security, integration needs, scale and maintenance cost. Our core choices and why:

Next.js

Server-side rendering, speed and search visibility in one framework.

TypeScript

Type safety. Mistakes are caught while developing, not in production.

PostgreSQL

A relational, reliable database that can grow for years.

Cloud and CDN

Fast access from anywhere, automatic scaling and redundant infrastructure.

Payment integrations

Virtual POS, payment links and instalment payments. We don't store card data.

Analytics and monitoring

Usage data, error tracking and uptime monitoring are set up from day one.

This site and the Şahan Design panel our clients use run on the same foundation.

Before the Project Starts

We remove the unknowns before the project starts.

The quote is not a PDF that gets sent and forgotten. Each item below is spelled out in the quote and the contract. Once you approve, the details, documents, contract, signature and payment steps all move forward in one panel, through the same link.

  • Scope document
  • Delivery stages
  • Project timeline
  • Change request management
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Access and account ownership
  • Data ownership
  • Source code handover
  • Support model
Budget

How is custom software development priced?

The price is set by the complexity of the work, not the number of screens. Once the scope is clear we prepare a fixed-price quote. Payment is tied to delivery stages and the price does not change unless the scope does. What defines the scope:

Third-party costs such as hosting, domain and payment provider commission are kept separate from the project fee, and the accounts are opened in your name.

  1. 01User roles and permission model
  2. 02Business rules and number of processes
  3. 03Number and type of integrations
  4. 04Data structure and migration of existing data
  5. 05Security and compliance needs
  6. 06Admin panel and reporting depth
  7. 07Mobile compatibility or a separate mobile app

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about custom software.

What is custom software development?
It is software designed and coded from scratch around your processes, user roles and data structure, rather than a ready-made program you buy and adapt. The result is a system that belongs only to you and grows with your business.
When should you choose custom software over off-the-shelf software?
When your processes hit the limits of ready-made systems, when several programs need to be connected, when you want a secure workspace for external users such as dealers or customers, or when your competitive advantage lies in the process itself. For a standard need, off-the-shelf software is often the better choice. We tell you so openly when we talk.
How long does a custom software project take?
It depends on the scope: the number of modules, the integrations, the user roles and how quickly you give approvals. During discovery, we draw up a staged timeline alongside the scope and put the first usable version live as early as possible. Development then continues on the working system.
How is the cost of custom software calculated?
User roles, business rules, number of integrations, data structure, security needs, admin panel, reporting, mobile compatibility and the support model make up the scope. Once the scope is clear, a fixed-price quote is prepared. Payment is tied to delivery stages.
Who owns the source code?
Once the project fee is settled, the project-specific source code, repository, database backup and service access are handed over to you. It is a clause in the contract. If you wish, you can carry on developing the system with another team.
Can you integrate with our existing ERP or CRM?
If your system has an API, an export facility or database access, yes. During discovery we define the integration points, data direction and sync frequency together, and we tell you upfront where a provider does not allow it.
Can you extend or rewrite our existing software?
We first review the existing code and data. If the foundation is sound, we recommend building on it. If it has become unmaintainable, we propose a staged rewrite. The recommendation comes in writing, with its reasoning, after the review.
Do you provide maintenance and support after launch?
Yes. After delivery, defects are fixed free of charge for the period stated in the contract. After that, a separate support model is planned for maintenance, monitoring and new development as needed.
Can web and mobile apps be developed together?
Yes. A web application and iOS and Android apps can be planned on the same backend and database, so both products share the same data and business rules.
What happens if a new feature is added during the project?
Every request outside the approved scope is assessed in writing. Its effect on the timeline and price is stated, and it is added to the plan with your approval. That way, there are no surprise invoices and no vague timelines.
How are data protection and security handled?
Role-based access, secure session handling, encrypted connections, secrets kept server-side and regular backups are applied in every project. Privacy notices and data processing policies remain with you as the data controller. We provide the technical implementation.
