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?
Ijjad architects and ships custom web solutions for teams across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the GCC who already have a brief. Ijjad delivers Next.js + Postgres platforms, headless storefronts on Saleor or Medusa, API-first backends, and AI-augmented internal tools — with an architecture document in 5 business days and mock server running by end of week 1.
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, 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.

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. Backend, frontend, and DevOps run in parallel. Weekly Vercel preview builds. Bundle budgets enforced per route. Schema, accessibility, and PDPL/ZATCA controls baked in from sprint 1.
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
Straight from clients
“Ijjad completely transformed our online presence. Our new website generates 3x more inquiries than the old one, and we finally rank on the first page of Google for our main keywords. The team understood our market and delivered exactly what we needed.”
“We needed a website and mobile app on a tight scope. Ijjad gave us enterprise-quality work at a scope that made sense for a startup. Karam personally oversaw every detail. Couldn't recommend them more.”
“Our online store went from barely making sales to processing 200+ orders per month after Ijjad rebuilt it. The storefront, Mada integration, and mobile experience are exactly what our customers wanted.”
“We launched our online catalog with cash-on-delivery and ZainCash in one checkout. The reconciliation dashboard alone saved us a person on the team. Orders are up materially since the rebuild, and the Arabic checkout actually feels native — not like a translated template.”
“Discovery on Monday, scoped proposal Tuesday morning, signed Wednesday. The trilingual MVP shipped on time and Sorani Kurdish was a first-class language from day one — not an afterthought. Our diaspora users in Frankfurt and Toronto stayed engaged because the page weight is small.”
“We needed governorate-level shipping rules, RFP-friendly service pages, and a site that loads fast on 4G in southern governorates. Ijjad delivered all three in five weeks. Their COD ops walk-through was the difference between launch and a half-built dashboard.”
