When it comes to building a custom web application, a website, or a set of landing pages, there are some fundamental aspects to consider: → intellectual property → scalability → future-proof technologies → maintenance costs → automation → integrations (2FA, AI etc) We live in one of the most prolific times regarding web development options. Building a product is easier than ever, but cutting through the noise and choosing the right solution is more challenging.
