PILLAR A — WEB & PRODUCT ENGINEERING

Websites engineered, not assembled.

Web development at NexusWave means custom-built websites on modern stacks — engineered for speed, security, accessibility, and visibility in both classic search and AI answers. We are a Vancouver-based product studio serving clients worldwide, and we build client websites on the same architecture we use for our own software products.

ENGINEERED TO TARGETS, NOT VIBES
Core Web Vitals targets
Performance is an engineering requirement, not a post-launch wish.
WCAG 2.2 AA · multilingual · RTL
Accessibility and full right-to-left builds, delivered natively.
SEO + GEO from the first line of code
Server-rendered, structured, AI-crawler ready — the same practices this site uses.
No templates, no plugin stacks — your site runs on the same architecture as our own products.
WHO IT'S FOR

Who this is for.

01
Businesses whose current site is a template with a plugin stack — slow, fragile, and impossible to grow.
02
Companies that need the website to do something: convert, integrate, localize, scale — not just exist.
03
Organizations serving multilingual audiences, including full right-to-left (Persian, Arabic) builds most agencies can't deliver natively.
04
Anyone burned by "the developer disappeared" — our builds ship documented, maintained, and hosted under our Care Plans if you want them.

OUR APPROACH — BUILT LIKE A PRODUCT

We build websites the way we build products, because we ship products.

qpostr and Skejel run on the same engineering standards your site will. That means server-rendered, structured, measurable builds; no page-builder lock-in; performance and SEO treated as engineering requirements, not post-launch wishes; and honest advice when a simpler solution would serve you better. AI accelerates our delivery — senior engineers using AI-native workflows — so you get product-company quality at agency speed.

Real questions clients ask.

01How much does a custom website cost?

NexusWave web development starts at $3,000, with final pricing set by scope — page count, functionality, integrations, and languages. You'll get an itemized written proposal within one business day.

02How long does a website take to build?

Most business websites take 3–8 weeks from kickoff to launch depending on scope and content readiness. You'll get a timeline in the proposal, and we're known for delivering ahead of schedule.

03Will I be able to edit my own content?

Yes. We build on headless CMS platforms designed for non-technical editing — your team updates pages, posts, and media without touching code.

04Do you build multilingual and RTL websites?

Yes — it's a specialty. We deliver English, Persian, and Arabic natively, including full right-to-left layouts, localized SEO, and correct hreflang implementation.

05Will my site be optimized for SEO and AI search?

Structurally, yes: server-rendered content, structured data, AI-crawler readiness, and GEO-standard content architecture are part of every build — the same practices this website uses.

06What happens after launch?

Your choice: hand-off with full documentation, or a monthly Hosting & Care Plan (from $75/mo) covering hosting, updates, security, and support — month-to-month, cancel anytime.

07Do you only build on Next.js, or can you work with WordPress, Shopify, and other platforms?

We work with whatever fits the project — WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, and other platforms included. What we list as our stack is what we prefer, and here is why: a hand-built Next.js and headless-CMS site is faster, cheaper to own over three years, fully yours with no plugin lock-in, and still easy for your team to edit. When a platform like WordPress or Shopify is the right call — a team that already knows it, a site already running on it, or a tight timeline — we build and maintain it there, and we tell you honestly which path serves you better before you commit.

08How much does an e-commerce website cost?

NexusWave e-commerce builds start at $5,000. Catalog size, integrations, custom checkout logic, and migrations set the final scope — itemized in a written proposal within one business day.

09How much does it cost to build a mobile app?

NexusWave app builds start at $12,000. Backend complexity, platform choice, and feature scope set the final number — itemized in a written proposal within one business day.

10How much does it cost to build a SaaS product?

NexusWave MVP builds start at $20,000, with phased engagements from $10,000 for validation-first starts. Scope, integrations, and compliance needs set the final figure — itemized in a written proposal.

11What kind of websites do you build?

Hand-built sites on Next.js and headless infrastructure — marketing sites, e-commerce, web apps, and SaaS products. No page-builder lock-in; everything runs on the same modern stack our own products use.

12Which e-commerce platform do you recommend?

The one that fits your catalog, margins, and team — not a default. We work across major platforms and headless setups, and we'll recommend against over-engineering when a simpler foundation sells just as well.

13Should I build native or cross-platform?

Most business apps are best served cross-platform: one codebase, both stores, strong performance. We recommend native only when the use case genuinely demands it — and we'll show you the reasoning either way.

14How long does an MVP take?

Typically 10–20 weeks to a production-ready core with billing, auth, and monitoring — faster than traditional agencies because our workflows are AI-native and our architecture patterns are proven in our own products.

15Do you use templates or build custom?

Custom, every time. We build on a modern engineering stack rather than a template or page builder, so the site is fast, unique to your brand, and free of platform lock-in.

16Can you migrate my existing store without losing SEO?

Yes. Migrations include a full URL redirect map, preserved product metadata, and structured-data continuity so rankings and revenue carry over.

17How long does an app take?

A focused first version typically ships in 8–16 weeks. We scope toward a shippable core first, so you're learning from real users instead of funding a two-year wishlist.

18Have you actually built SaaS before?

Yes — and we operate it. qpostr (B2B social-media scheduling) and Skejel (reservations, scheduling, tickets, and restaurant bookings) are NexusWave products running in production. Visit them; they're the portfolio.

19Can you build an online store?

Yes — e-commerce development starts from $5,000 and covers the catalog, cart, checkout, and payments. It is built on the same headless stack, so it stays fast as your product range grows.

20Will my products show up in AI shopping answers?

That's the goal of the GEO structure we build in: complete product schema, extractable descriptions, and review markup — the signals AI assistants use when recommending products.

21Do you build the backend too?

Yes — backend, APIs, authentication, and infrastructure are half the work of a real app, and we engineer them with the same standards as our own production systems.

22Can you take over a half-built product?

Yes. We start with a technical audit (architecture, security, deployability), give you an honest keep/refactor/rebuild verdict, and a costed path for each.

23Do you build mobile apps?

Yes. Mobile app development starts from $12,000 for iOS and Android, scoped around your features and platforms. We share a roadmap before any code is written.

24Do you handle multi-currency and multi-language stores?

Yes, including right-to-left storefronts for Persian and Arabic markets, with localized product content and correct international SEO.

25Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?

End to end, including store listings, review responses, and the rejection quirks that stall first-time publishers.

26Who owns the code?

You do — full repository ownership, documentation, and infrastructure under your accounts. No lock-in by design.

27Can you build a SaaS product?

Yes. SaaS product development is scoped individually — there is no meaningful published floor because every product is different. We take it from MVP to a scalable, maintainable platform.

28What about running the store after launch?

Care Plans cover hosting, updates, and support; our marketing retainers (SEO, PPC, email, CRO) grow the revenue side. Both are month-to-month.

29Who maintains the app after launch?

Your choice: full hand-off with documentation, or an ongoing maintenance retainer covering updates, OS-version compatibility, and monitoring — month-to-month.

30Can you keep building after launch?

That's the usual shape: a monthly product retainer covering the roadmap, monitoring, and iteration — month-to-month, cancel with one month's notice.

31What technology stack do you use?

Next.js and TypeScript on the front end, a headless CMS (Payload) and PostgreSQL for content and data, deployed to a managed server. It is the same stack behind our own products, so it is proven, not experimental.

32Can you build my store on Shopify or WooCommerce, or do you only do custom?

We build on Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom headless storefronts — the platform is chosen around your catalog, margins, and team, not a default we push. Shopify is often the fastest path for a straightforward catalog; WooCommerce suits a WordPress team that wants to keep everything in one place; a custom headless build wins when scale, speed, or a distinctive checkout matter and you want to own the whole stack. If you already sell on one of these, we usually improve what you have before recommending a migration.

33Which mobile framework do you use — Flutter, React Native, or fully native?

All of them, chosen for your app rather than for us. Most business apps ship best on a single cross-platform codebase in Flutter or React Native: one build serves iOS and Android, which cuts cost and time without giving up a native feel. When the use case genuinely needs it — heavy graphics, deep hardware access, or platform-specific UX — we build fully native in Swift or Kotlin. You get the reasoning in the proposal, so the framework is a decision you make with us, not one we make for you.

34Will my site be fast and SEO-ready?

Yes. We target a Lighthouse score of 90+, with optimized images, semantic HTML, a sitemap, and structured data built in — plus GEO so the site is ready for AI search, not just Google.
