The next decade is Brisbane’s. Build it on real code.
Custom Next.js web development for Brisbane founders and operators. Portals, platforms and SaaS MVPs, delivered in days with your own GitHub and Vercel accounts.

Production apps. Real users. Shipped remote.
Same time zone
Brisbane is on AEST. Sydney is on AEST for half the year, AEDT the other half. That is a one hour gap at worst. No offshore handoff, no overnight delay, no waking up to find your pull request was misread.
Real code on GitHub
Your repository is yours from day one. Every commit, every branch, every issue, every deployment log. You can hand it to any Brisbane developer on a Monday and be shipping by Wednesday. No proprietary CMS, no vendor lock-in.
You own the deployment
Vercel, Neon, Stripe, Cloudflare, AWS. Accounts in your name, billing in your name, keys in your name. When the build ships, we transfer everything. The infrastructure belongs to your business, not a hosting reseller in Brisbane CBD.
Scope-based pricing. No Brisbane mark-up.
Pick the scope that fits. Every tier includes full code ownership, 30 days of post-launch support, and accounts registered in your name. Same flat rate whether you are in Teneriffe or Tamarama.

Brisbane deserves real engineering, not another WordPress theme.
Brisbane is scaling into the largest infrastructure investment in Queensland history. The Australian Government is putting $3.435 billion into the $7.1 billion Games Venue Infrastructure Program ahead of 2032. Queensland’s public sector calls it a pivotal period of digital change. Private sector volume is already climbing to meet it.
More about the Brisbane market
Most of the software being built for that tailwind is still shipping on stacks from 2018. WordPress. Custom PHP. A half-finished Shopify theme wired up to three Zapier automations and a spreadsheet.
“Queensland’s public sector is entering a pivotal period of transformation, driven by rising expectations, rapid digital change, and increasing investment as the state prepares for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
Public Sector Network, Queensland 2026 digital transformation briefing
The businesses that ship strong software in 2026 are the ones that get referred, funded, and indexed while the rest of the market is still waiting on a Figma review. The 2032 window opens in six years. You do not want to be writing a brief for a rebuild in 2031.
Development costs and delivery in Brisbane
Four ways to build a custom web app. Only one of them ships this month.

Agency ranges reflect published Sydney and Brisbane studio quotes for comparable scope.
We built Brief Legal in 2.5 weeks. Sub Tracker is live with real users. Plan Flowers runs 163 automated tests on a cron-based engine.
Not mockups, not MVPs in Figma, not slide decks with AI buzzwords. Production software, shipped to real URLs, with real users and real Stripe connections. The same architecture is available to a Brisbane founder for a fixed price, in days.
Senior talent is the input. Not the invoice.
Your build is done by a founder who has shipped dozens of Next.js projects, not a junior wrapping boilerplate. We use AI to accelerate the repetitive code, proven architecture patterns for the hard parts, and the same senior attention on your build as on our own ventures. The price reflects process, not seniority cuts.
Offshore is cheap until the rework hits.
A $25k offshore build that arrives broken is a $60k rebuild six months later, plus the cost of the lost window. We ship once, on a stack you can take to any Australian developer, with code you can read. The real cost of a build is what it takes to replace it the second time.
Four steps.
One founder.
Sydney based, delivered to Brisbane remotely. Built Equal Legal (AI legal documents in 2.5 weeks), Sub Tracker, and Plan Flowers. Brisbane clients get the same code quality because the work is in version control, not a meeting room.
Scope call
15 minutes. You describe what you need. We tell you which tier fits, what the timeline looks like, and whether we are the right team. No pitch deck, no discovery invoice, no six week scoping retainer.
Architecture and build
We design the data model, wire the auth layer, connect Stripe if you need it, and build the frontend on Next.js. You get a staging URL inside 48 hours and watch the repo grow commit by commit. Feedback in plain English, no Jira round trips.
Review and launch
Final round of feedback, production deployment, domain pointed, monitoring configured, Stripe live keys switched over. You are live on your own Vercel account with your own database, your own billing, your own keys.
Post-launch support
30 days included. Bug fixes, tweaks, user feedback iterations. Optional maintenance from $497 a month or take the code and run it with any Brisbane developer. Either way, you own everything.
Technical questions.
You are in Sydney. Can a Brisbane founder really get serious software out of a remote team?
Every Studio Slate venture ships the same way. Brief Legal (AI legal intake and document generation) was built in 2.5 weeks. Sub Tracker (bank statement parsing and subscription analytics) is live with real users. Plan Flowers runs 163 automated tests on a cron-based ordering engine. All built remote, all owned end to end by the founders who commissioned them. Brisbane is one hour behind Sydney for half the year, the same time zone the other half, and every artefact from the build lives in your GitHub repo and your Vercel account. A Brisbane founder can see the commits, run the staging link, and push code to production the same afternoon as anyone in Surry Hills.
How can you quote fixed prices on custom software when every other agency says it is impossible?
Because we scope tightly, reuse proven architecture patterns across auth, billing, multi-tenancy, and data modelling, and we use AI to accelerate the repetitive parts while the founder handles the decisions that matter. We have built this stack across dozens of projects. We know what a client portal costs, we know what a Stripe subscription engine costs, we know what a RAG-powered dashboard costs. If your project falls outside the standard tiers, we quote it after a 15 minute scope call and stick to the number. No hourly billing, no scope creep invoices, no six-month discovery phase.
Brisbane is scaling into 2032. Will a build shipped today still be relevant in seven years?
Next.js is the same framework Stripe, TikTok, Notion, and Loom run on in production. It is maintained by Vercel, iterated on every quarter, and has the largest React ecosystem behind it. A site built on it today will still be current in 2032 because the underlying primitives (React, TypeScript, server components, Postgres) are not going anywhere. The real risk is the opposite. A Queensland business scaling through the 2032 tailwind on WordPress, Wix, or a hand-rolled PHP app from 2018 will hit the ceiling long before the cranes come down. You want a foundation that can carry 10x the load without a rebuild, and Next.js on Vercel scales from day one without you ever touching a server.
What about data sovereignty? Where does my database live?
Your database lives wherever you want it. Neon and Supabase both offer Sydney (ap-southeast-2) regions for Australian data residency. Vercel hosts on global edge with an option to pin backend compute to Sydney. If you have APP entity obligations, government contracts, or sector-specific compliance (health, legal, financial), we set up the architecture to meet it. This is real infrastructure, not a marketing claim. You get AWS or Cloudflare billing accounts in your name from day one. You see the data at rest. You control the keys.
Is this for the 2032 Olympics infrastructure procurement?
Probably not directly. The Australian Government is contributing $3.435 billion to the $7.1 billion Games Venue Infrastructure Program, and that money flows to large-scale construction and operations, not to boutique web studios. The real Brisbane 2032 opportunity for small and medium businesses is the tailwind. Tourism numbers are projected to compound every year from 2026 to 2032. Suburb populations are growing. Search volumes are rising. Queensland digital spend is accelerating ahead of the Games. The businesses that publish strong software in 2026 are the ones Google already trusts when the eyeballs arrive. The state sector is in what Public Sector Network calls a pivotal period of digital change, and the supply chain around it runs deep into private sector tools, dashboards, and customer-facing apps.
What if I want to take the code to a Brisbane developer later?
Take it. Every line of code, your database, your Vercel account, your domain, and your Stripe connection live in your name from day one. We hand over a clean Next.js codebase with a README, environment variables documented, migration scripts, and deployment instructions. Any competent Brisbane developer can pick it up on a Monday and push to production on a Wednesday. No proprietary CMS, no runtime that only we can service, no 36 month contract. Most clients stay on a maintenance retainer from $497 a month because we already know the codebase and can ship changes faster than a new hire can read it, but the door is unlocked from the moment we ship.
The 2032 window opens in six years. Build the foundation now.
15 minutes. No pitch deck. An honest conversation about what you want to ship, what it will take, and whether we are the right team for your Brisbane build.
