Web App Development Chicago

Question 1

Are you actually a web app developer based in Chicago?

Answer

Yes. Homade is headquartered in Chicago, IL, and builds custom web apps from our Chicago studio. The same senior operator who scopes your app is the one who builds and ships it, so the architecture decisions stay in one head.

Question 2

What kind of web apps do you build?

Answer

Custom web apps, APIs and automations, admin dashboards, internal tools, and Webflow integrations. For operators whose site needs to do something, not just sell it, from member areas and gated content to the workflow glue that wires your stack together.

Question 3

What stack do you build on?

Answer

React and TypeScript front-ends with hosted-database back-ends, auth, and billing. We pick the right tool for the job rather than forcing every project through one platform, and we host on Replit, Vercel, or your own cloud with logs and monitoring.

Question 4

Do you work with Chicago businesses specifically, or is it remote-only?

Answer

Both. We build apps for Chicago operators and for teams across the US. Local clients can meet in person; remote clients get the same cadence, a working prototype early, and a real human responsible from day one.

Question 5

Can you add a custom app behind an existing Webflow site?

Answer

Yes. This is one of the most common requests. We keep Webflow for design and add real product behind it, embedded apps, custom CMS sync, member areas, and gated content, so you get the best of both.

Question 6

How long does a custom web app take?

Answer

We aim for a working, clickable prototype within two weeks so you can react to real flows and real data before we commit to a stack. Full builds depend on scope, but every phase gets a real DO date and a real DUE date.

Question 7

Do you handle auth, billing, and accounts?

Answer

Yes. Stripe, Clerk, magic links, and role-based access, the boring-but-critical glue, shipped right the first time. We also set up the deploy story, logs, and monitoring so the app does not break on Friday at 5pm.

Question 8

What does a web app project cost?

Answer

Apps are scoped after a workshop on the user stories, data model, and integrations. We give you an honest read on scope, timeline, and budget within one business day. No retainer required to get a quote.
