Why custom platforms start around 60,000 MAD
A platform is software. Here is what goes into building one that lasts.
A website shows. A platform works.
A website presents information. A platform manages users, data and processes: bookings, orders, approvals, payments, reports. It becomes part of how the business operates.
What's inside
Architecture and database design, authentication, roles and permissions, business logic, a back-office, APIs and integrations, notifications, security, automated tests, deployment and monitoring. Each is a discipline in itself.
Why cheap platforms get expensive
Shortcuts in architecture and security surface later as bugs, data issues and rewrites. A solid foundation costs more upfront and much less over the life of the system.
