The post-discovery technical deep-dive: stack choices, architecture documents, integration points, and what production deployment actually includes. Built for teams that have done the brief.
Architecture in 5 business days · mock server by end of week 1 · runbook on launch day.
Who builds custom web solutions for teams that already know what they need?
A team across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or the GCC that already has a brief gets a Next.js + Postgres platform, a headless storefront on Saleor or Medusa, an API-first backend, or an AI-augmented internal tool, with an architecture document in 5 business days and a mock server running by end of week 1. Ijjad architects and ships to that timeline.
Three Ijjad pages talk about web development, and they're intentionally not the same. web-development-services is the pre-discovery hub — for teams still deciding which agency to call. website-cost-estimator is the scope-tier overview for any project type. This page is the technical layer underneath both: the architecture documents, stack choices, integration points, and runbooks that come after the brief.
Read this if you already know you need a custom platform — B2B portal, headless storefront for a Saudi retailer, AI-augmented internal tool, multi-region rollout — and you want the engineering detail before you scope it. Skip this if you’re still evaluating agencies or pre-brief.
Custom platform outcomes
First-party, anonymized project figures reported by Ijjad. Client identities and underlying analytics are not public; the linked cases explain the project context and method.
Stack & scope tiers
Pick the stack that matches your scale, compliance needs, and integration depth.
Content-led, conversion-focused, multi-region brands.
6-12 weeks
E-commerce with custom storefronts, multi-tenant SaaS.
8-14 weeks
B2B portals, internal tools, AI-augmented platforms.
10-16 weeks
Ministries, regulated finance/health, multi-product platforms.
16-32 weeks
Every tier includes architecture documentation, automated CI/CD, observability, and a 30-day post-launch on-call window. You own the repo and deployment credentials on day one.
For Saudi personal-data handling, review the official Personal Data Protection Law with the person approving your requirements. Article 29 addresses transfers outside the Kingdom; selecting a hosting region does not resolve every data-flow decision.
How a custom build runs
Architecture before code. Mock server before frontend. Runbook before launch.
Stack choices with rationale, data model, API contract, deployment topology, integration points, observability plan, and risk register. Signed off before any code begins.
Deliverable: Architecture document + risk register.
Backend: OpenAPI mock server running by end of week 1 so frontend can build against real contracts. Frontend: design tokens, component library, RTL parity.
Deliverable: Mock server + design system.
Two-week sprints with weekly previews. Backend and frontend work follows the agreed architecture. Test the privacy controls and invoicing handoffs specified in the scope, with acceptance evidence reviewed by the named owner.
Deliverable: Weekly previews + sprint demo Loom.
Load testing, OWASP Top 10 security review, accessibility audit (WCAG 2.2 AA), bilingual QA, and per-country edge-case testing.
Deliverable: Security report + accessibility report.
Production deploy, runbook delivery, on-call rotation setup, and 30-day post-launch window. Optional maintenance retainer stacks on top.
Deliverable: Live platform + runbook + incident playbook.
Typical end-to-end timeline: 6-32 weeks depending on stack
First-party testimonials
These anonymized quotes are published by Ijjad. They are not native reviews from Google, Clutch, or another independent platform.
“Ijjad replaced an unclear website with a focused experience that gives prospects a much clearer path to contact us. The team understood our regional market and kept the work tied to the business goal.”
“We needed a website and mobile app on a tight scope. Ijjad gave us a practical plan that made sense for a startup, and Karam stayed directly involved through the important decisions.”
“Ijjad rebuilt the storefront around Mada checkout and a mobile-first customer flow. The result is easier for our team to manage and clearer for customers to use.”
“We launched our online catalog with cash-on-delivery and ZainCash in one checkout. The reconciliation dashboard gives our team a clearer way to manage orders, and the Arabic checkout feels native rather than translated.”
“The trilingual MVP treated Sorani Kurdish as a first-class language from the start rather than an afterthought. Ijjad also kept the page weight small for customers accessing it outside Iraq.”
“We needed governorate-level shipping rules, RFP-friendly service pages, and a site that loads well on mobile connections in southern Iraq. Ijjad delivered those requirements and walked our team through the cash-on-delivery operations before launch.”
