Custom software development: web platforms, apps, and inventory systems.
Custom software development means shipping a system around your actual process instead of bending that process around off-the-shelf software: web platforms, mobile apps, inventory systems, admin portals. One accountable engineer takes it from design to deployment, with tests before every release and automation wired in from day one.
The four kinds of build
Web development
Complete web platforms from design to launch: fast, responsive, with an editor portal for the content your team changes every week. Shipped for a Dubai nightlife venue, a US food brand, and a national investment platform.
App development
iOS and Android apps in React Native with a real backend and the admin your team needs, tested on real devices before every release. Built by someone who spent years testing other people's apps.
Inventory systems
Stock, orders, suppliers, locations, and alerts in one system that reconciles itself and talks to your accounting. Built for how your operation actually moves, not how the template assumes.
Custom platforms
E-commerce storefronts, internal tools, and admin portals designed so the people who use them can run them. Menu management, event editors, order flows, roles and permissions, all yours.
Sites in the wild
Designed, built & shipped end to endA bold, immersive site for a Dubai nightlife venue, with an editor portal for events and content.

For a CTO with a platform in mind, a small business that needs a site it can edit itself, or an individual with an app idea: start from the problem, and the build follows.
| THE PROBLEM | THE BUILD | WHAT YOUR TEAM EDITS THEMSELVES | PAGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| A public website or brand site that a developer currently has to touch for every change | Web platform with an editor portal | Pages, events, menus, content | Web development |
| A storefront or booking flow | E-commerce or custom platform | Products, prices, orders, roles | Custom platforms |
| An internal tool the team runs on spreadsheets and email | Internal tool with an admin portal | Records, workflows, permissions | Custom platforms |
| A mobile app idea, or an app the business needs in the field | iOS and Android app in React Native with a real backend | Content and users through the admin | App development |
| Stock, orders, and suppliers that never agree with the books | Inventory system that reconciles itself | Stock, locations, suppliers, alerts | Inventory systems |
What every Aldenebai build includes
The same engineer who builds AI systems for a software company leads these builds, so the parts agencies sell as extras are the baseline.
Tested like a QA engineer built it, because one did
Most agencies hand you a site and a maintenance contract. This is the opposite: a platform your team runs, with an admin portal for the things that change, and a regression suite that runs before every release so nothing that worked stops working.
Because the same engineer leads the AI systems and the platforms, automation is not an add-on. Support agents, content pipelines, order flows, and CRM sync are designed into the platform from the first sprint.
Questions about custom software development
How much does a website or an app cost?
A fixed price for a fixed scope, agreed in writing after the free 30-minute Automation Audit, with no price list because a five-page brand site and a booking platform with payments are different builds. The pricing page explains what moves the number: integrations, roles, payments, and how much your team must be able to edit itself.
How long does a build take?
The proposal names the date before anything starts. What moves it is integrations, payments, and the number of roles and flows in the admin. Every build ships in stages, so a working first version is live and testable well before the whole scope is.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. The Automation Audit is in plain language: what the site or app has to do, who uses it, what changes every week. The admin portal is built so that the people who run the business run the software, and the handover includes a walkthrough.
Who owns the code, the hosting, and the domain?
You do, from the first day. Everything is built in your repositories and on your accounts, and the handover includes the documentation and tests any competent developer would need to take over. There is no maintenance contract you cannot leave.
Can you automate the operations around the site as well?
Yes, and it is usually the point. Order flows into the CRM, content pipelines, support agents on the contact form, inventory sync with accounting: these are designed into the platform rather than bolted on, because the same engineer builds the automation and the AI systems.
Platform in mind? Start with the map.
The free Automation Audit scopes the platform, the portal your team needs, and the automation worth wiring in from day one. 30 minutes, written Automation Map included.
