Custom Software Development

From MVP to platforms built to carry AI.

Twistag designs, builds and runs web and mobile products, internal tools and platforms, with one senior team from the first MVP release to the platform it grows into.

A concrete building under construction, floors still open
Why build it this way

Most custom software starts as an MVP and has to become a platform. It should be built for both from the first sprint.

  • 01An MVP that cannot grow. Rebuilt from scratch at the first sign of success.
  • 02Every release a risk. No tests, no budgets, no confidence.
  • 03AI bolted on after launch. Data and architecture never planned for it.
What gets built

A product that launches small and keeps improving.

The MVP proves the idea with real users. The same codebase, design system and tests carry it to a full platform.

How it runs

From discovery to launch in three to six months.

An MVP reaches real users first. The product grows release by release from there.

Questions

About custom software.

How fast can an MVP launch?

Often within three months of discovery. Keepwhat’s on-demand storage marketplace launched in twelve weeks.

Which technologies does Twistag use?

React, Next.js and Vue on the web; React Native, Flutter, Swift and Kotlin on mobile; Node.js, Python and Java on the back end, on the cloud the company already runs.

Can the MVP grow into a full platform?

That is the point of the approach: the same architecture, design system and tests carry it from the first release onwards.

Is it a fixed price?

Either. A fixed-scope build has a fixed price and launch date; a product squad works in quarterly scopes.

What does it cost?

Cost follows scope: the platforms involved, the integrations, the design and research needed and how long the team stays. A proposal follows within a week of the first call.

Who owns what is built?

The client owns everything: source code, design files, infrastructure as code, prompts and documentation, handed over in full.
