Architecture Decisions Made for Year Three
Service boundaries, data models and rendering strategy are the choices that are expensive to reverse. We make them deliberately rather than defaulting to whatever is fastest in week one.
UI/UX Design
Interfaces that stay fast and consistent as the product grows — a real design system with reusable components, not a folder of one-off screens that drift apart within a year.
- React, Next.js and Vue
- Component library and design tokens
- Core Web Vitals performance budgets
- Accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA

“AptenTech brought clarity to the entire development process. The team understood what we wanted, communicated consistently, and delivered a product that was both polished and practical to use.”
“The team was responsive whenever priorities changed and always explained the available options clearly. We appreciated their attention to detail and the smooth experience from development through launch.”
“AptenTech worked closely with our team instead of simply following a specification. Their suggestions helped improve several parts of the platform, and the final delivery matched our business requirements well.”

Discovery & Product Strategy
Business goals, users, existing systems and constraints. We define the MVP boundary, name what is deliberately out of scope, and agree how success will be measured.

Why Teams Choose Us
Performance Treated As a Budget, Not a Phase
Core Web Vitals budgets are enforced in CI, so a regression fails a build. Performance work added at the end is always more expensive than performance kept throughout.
Architecture Decided for Year Three
OWASP controls, dependency scanning and secrets management are part of the pipeline. Retrofitting after a failed penetration test is the most expensive rework in web.
Accessibility Built in From the First Component
WCAG 2.2 AA is part of the definition of done. In several markets it is a legal requirement, and retrofitting it across a finished product costs far more than building it in.
You Own Everything
Code, infrastructure, design files and documentation are yours from day one, with a handover that leaves your team self-sufficient.
One Accountable Team
Strategy, design and engineering in one place — no gap between vendors where responsibility quietly disappears.
Questions We Are Asked
It depends on scope and integration surface far more than on framework. A marketing site with a CMS sits at the lower end; a multi-tenant SaaS platform with billing, SSO and enterprise integrations sits considerably higher. We break every estimate down by workstream so you can see what each part costs and defer what is not needed for launch.
A focused MVP typically runs three to five months. Applications with payments, complex permissions and system integrations usually run six to nine months. Multi-tenant SaaS or heavily regulated products run longer. We give a range with the assumptions written down rather than a single optimistic number.
For most products React with Next.js or Vue with Nuxt is the sensible default, because hiring and ecosystem support are strongest there. The more important decision is the rendering strategy per route — static, server-rendered or client-side — since that controls both page speed and hosting cost far more than the framework name does.
Yes. ERP, CRM, payment providers, identity providers and legacy internal systems are connected through an API-first integration layer. Integration is usually where web projects overrun, so we map it during architecture rather than discovering the problems late.
Performance budgets are set during architecture and enforced in CI, so a regression fails a build rather than being discovered in a quarterly audit. That covers rendering strategy, image handling, bundle size, caching and edge delivery.
Yes — server rendering where crawlability matters, clean semantic markup, structured data, metadata handling and correct canonical and pagination logic. We build the technical foundation; content strategy is a separate discipline and we will say so rather than implying otherwise.
