Frontend to backend, one owner
Splitting work across several freelancers creates handoff problems. Keeping it with one accountable engineer or small pod protects both quality and pace.
You talk directly to the people writing the code, which keeps architecture decisions close to the implementation.
Most people who reach this page are founders and teams needing full-stack ownership. UI, APIs, auth, payments, and infrastructure delivered as a coherent product system.
What you get
- Complete product delivery
- API and database design
- Auth, billing, and realtime
- Maintainable TypeScript codebases
- Documented handover and runbooks
- Help getting it deployed
How engagement works
Our full stack development service covers discovery, build, and launch, with the option to keep improving things once you are live.
- 01
Discover
Goals, constraints, data sources, and success metrics, all settled before we touch architecture or prompts. Nothing here waits on a handover between separate teams.
- 02
Design
System design, AI/tool boundaries, interface direction, and interaction prototypes. On full stack development projects we favour practical architecture over trendy defaults.
- 03
Build
Modern stack, clean architecture, evaluated AI behavior, and iterative demos you can react to. The work for remote and worldwide teams stays tied to the outcome you asked for.
- 04
Launch
Ship, monitor, harden, and keep improving models, tools, and product after go-live. You see progress on the critical path every week.
How we build it, and why
The stack is chosen per project, not applied from a template. For full stack developer work these are the defaults, and the reason each one is on the list.
- React
- the component model most teams can already hire for and maintain
- Next.js
- server rendering and static generation in one framework, so marketing pages stay fast and app routes stay dynamic
- Node.js
- one language across the stack, so context does not get lost at the boundary
- NestJS
- structure and dependency injection on the backend, which keeps a growing API from turning into a pile of route handlers
- Stripe
- payments, subscriptions, and the tax and invoicing edge cases you do not want to build
What the first weeks look like
- Days 1-3
Context and constraints
Codebase, deploy path, and what "done" means for the full stack development. Short, because the useful version of this is specific.
- Week 1
First shipped slice
Something real goes out in the first week — complete product delivery rather than a setup ticket.
- Weeks 2-6
Build to the milestone
Pull requests, reviews, and weekly demos. You see the work as it happens rather than at a handover meeting.
- Handover
Documented and transferable
Runbooks, architecture notes, and a walkthrough, so the work does not depend on us still being here.
Weighing up your options
There are three realistic ways to get this built. Each is the right answer for someone.
A solo freelancer
Cheapest per hour and fine for a contained task. The risk on full stack development is breadth — one person covering design, backend, infrastructure, and launch usually means one of them is weak, and there is no cover when they are unavailable.
An in-house hire
A permanent engineer is the right call once the full stack development is continuous rather than a project. Before that point you are paying a salary, recruiting for months, and carrying the risk that the first hire is the wrong shape for the problem.
Arcode
A small senior team. The people who scope the full stack development write the code, you get weekly demos instead of status decks, and the engagement ends when the thing is live and handed over.
