Web development in Stockholm

Stockholm is home to a large share of Sweden’s SaaS, fintech, and services companies. Many of them need the same thing: a web app or customer portal that actually does something – not another brochure site. At Weapp we build that kind of service for Stockholm companies, from Gothenburg, and meet in the capital when needed.

Web apps and portals – not brochure sites

Our focus is on logged-in services: customer portals, internal tools, dashboards, and platforms where the user does things. That suits Stockholm’s tech sector well, where the product itself is often the software.

The difference from a regular website is significant. A web app has roles, state, business logic, and data that need to fit together and be secure. That demands a different approach to architecture and maintenance than a campaign site ever does. If your idea involves login, payments, or integrations, it’s a web app – and that’s where we belong.

The same expertise, without the capital premium

Agency rates in Stockholm often sit in the upper range, partly because office space and overhead downtown cost more. By working from Gothenburg, we can offer the same senior expertise at a more competitive price.

It’s not a compromise on quality – it’s a compromise on address. You pay for senior developers, designers, and strategists who solve the problem, not for the office location. For a growing company, the difference can add up to several hundred thousand kronor over a project.

Technology suited to SaaS and fintech

We build mainly in modern frameworks – Next.js and React on the frontend – connected to backend and cloud infrastructure tailored to the project. For Stockholm’s SaaS and fintech companies, that’s usually the right starting point: performance, security, and a codebase built to last for growth.

In fintech, we factor in security and regulatory compliance from the start in particular, not as an afterthought. If the service handles sensitive data, payments, or BankID, encryption, access control, and logging need to be part of the architecture from the first sketch. Building it in early is both cheaper and safer than fixing it later.

How remote work runs

Remote work is our normal mode with clients outside Gothenburg, and it works when the communication is right. We work in short iterations with a clear backlog, frequent check-ins, and environments where you can see what’s being built as it happens. Distance only becomes a problem when it’s unclear what’s happening – so that’s where we put the effort.

A typical setup: a fintech company in Stockholm wants to launch a customer portal with BankID login and a connection to its existing platform. We run an on-site kickoff workshop in Stockholm, then build in React with weekly demos, and you follow every step without us sitting in the same room. You see the result take shape week by week instead of waiting for one big delivery at the end.

The transparency rests on a few simple habits. The backlog is open, so you can see at any time what’s done, in progress, and next in line. A shared test environment gets updated continuously, so you can click through the actual product instead of reading status reports. And decisions are made together at short check-ins, not silently between meetings. When the client and the team are in different cities, that visibility is what determines whether the collaboration feels close or distant – not the number of miles between them. Our experience is that a remote project with the right routines often gives better visibility than a local project without them, because everything has to be made explicit and documented.

A partnership that lasts after launch

A web app is never fully done at launch. It needs to be operated, updated, and developed further as the business changes. We see maintenance as part of the collaboration, with the same team staying familiar with your codebase over time.

With around 38 people – developers, designers, and strategists – we have the capacity to both build new things and keep what already exists running. For a growing Stockholm company, that means a long-term partner rather than a one-off vendor. See how we work among our services. Need to build a web app or portal?
