Custom web development with Protocloud starts from $5,000 for a high-converting marketing website, $12,000 for a progressive web app, $15,000–$40,000 for an eCommerce platform, and $20,000–$120,000+ for SaaS web applications or enterprise portals. Pricing depends on scope, integrations, and AI features. Every project receives a fixed quote before any work begins — no hidden costs, no scope creep. For projects under $5,000, we recommend Webflow or Framer and we’ll tell you honestly which tool fits your needs.
Marketing websites: 3–5 weeks. Landing pages: 1–2 weeks. eCommerce platforms: 5–8 weeks. SaaS web applications: 8–16 weeks. Enterprise portals: 12–24 weeks. These timelines assume timely client feedback at each approval gate. Our agile sprint process with weekly demo links ensures you see real progress throughout — never a 12-week silence followed by a surprise reveal.
WordPress is an excellent tool for content-only websites with modest traffic and no complex functionality. For SaaS platforms, eCommerce, web apps, and any site where Google Core Web Vitals and conversion performance matter, React and Next.js consistently outperform WordPress on PageSpeed scores, load times, and scalability. Next.js specifically offers server-side rendering and static site generation for superior SEO performance — features WordPress page builders cannot match. That said, we do build on WordPress and headless WordPress when the project genuinely calls for it — we recommend the best tool for your specific needs, not the tool we prefer to build in.
Yes, we integrate AI into web projects including GPT-4o, LangChain RAG pipelines, Pinecone vector search, Dialogflow chatbots, and TensorFlow.js browser inference. Whether you should is a different question – and we give you an honest answer based on your specific project, budget, and user base. If you have under 5,000 monthly users, no existing content library, or a budget under $15,000, we will likely recommend investing in core performance and UX before AI. If you have the data, the traffic, and the use case, AI can deliver measurable ROI that we help you calculate before adding a single feature.
Absolutely. Web platform audits and rebuilds are 30% of our web development work. We start with a comprehensive technical audit covering Core Web Vitals performance, SEO structure, conversion rate analysis, codebase quality, and infrastructure assessment. Based on this, we recommend either targeted optimisation or a full rebuild — with a clear cost-benefit comparison for both options. We never recommend a rebuild when optimisation will achieve the same result at lower cost.
We offer four written guarantees on every project: (1) Core Web Vitals 90+ score on delivery – we continue optimising at no charge until this is met; (2) Fixed price – your quoted amount is the final amount, no scope creep invoices; (3) Fixed timeline – delays caused by our team result in additional free development work; (4) 3 months post-launch support – bugs, security patches, and minor adjustments at zero cost. Additionally, all deliverables are staged with milestone approval – you do not pay for a milestone until you have approved that stage of the project.
Wix and Webflow are excellent tools for content-only brochure sites with low traffic expectations. If your website needs to rank competitively on Google, handle 10,000+ users, integrate with your CRM and payment systems, and actively generate leads — a custom-built platform will outperform a page builder within 90 days. Our clients average 2–4× higher conversion rates and 90+ PageSpeed scores that page builders cannot match. The ROI case is straightforward: if one additional lead per week is worth $500 to your business, a $10,000 investment pays back in under 5 months.
🛡 Guarantee: We provide a side-by-side performance comparison of your current site vs our proposed solution before you commit. If the numbers don’t make sense, we tell you directly.
We use a fixed-scope delivery model with agile sprints and weekly demo checkpoints. Your signed Statement of Work defines exactly what is in scope and what the timeline is. If a delay occurs due to our side – not a client-side change of scope — we deliver the additional work at no cost. We have a 94% on-time delivery rate across 2,500+ projects. We also build a 10% buffer into every timeline for realistic planning — we do not promise impossible deadlines to win contracts.
🛡 Guarantee: Fixed timeline is written into your contract. Any delay caused by our team results in free additional development time — no exceptions.
