EA Digital Solutions

From €6,500per project

Custom Software Development

Software that fits your processes — not the other way round.

EA Digital Solutions builds tailor-made web applications and digital tools for companies in the DACH region — straight from the developer, without agency overhead and without off-the-shelf systems. We don't build cookie-cutter websites: every project starts with the question of which specific business process the software should support or automate. The result is applications that do exactly what your company needs — no more, no less.

Typical Challenges

Does this sound familiar?

Off-the-shelf software forces your processes into its mould

Standard solutions often cover only part of your requirements. The missing rest is what your staff compensate with Excel workarounds, duplicate entries and manual checks — every single day.

Licence costs explode as you grow

SaaS products charge per user. Five users become fifty — and €500/month becomes €5,000. With custom-built software you pay once and scale without limits.

Updates break your workflows

The SaaS vendor changes the UI or deprecates a feature critical to your process. You have no control. With your own software, you decide when and whether anything changes.

Integration is always an expensive add-on

Standard tools often have rudimentary APIs. Every integration costs extra — and only works as long as the vendor maintains the API. Custom software is built with open interfaces from day one.

Data quality suffers from manual processes

Staff spend hours copying and pasting between systems. Every manual step is an error source — and every error costs time and money. Custom software automates these handoffs.

SaaS release cycles block your agility

The vendor decides when new features arrive. You cannot execute your own roadmap because you are waiting on external updates. With your own software, you set the pace.

Our Solution

How we solve it for you

Tailored to your processes — not a generic CMS template

Clean, maintainable code on a modern tech stack (Next.js, TypeScript)

Full control over your data — no lock-in to third-party providers

Scales from MVP to enterprise — grows with your company

Straight from the developer: faster response times, no misunderstandings

Proven technologies: Next.js, Payload CMS, PostgreSQL, TypeScript

In Detail

What you get — and why it matters

Tailor-made software instead of spreadsheets and workarounds.

Standard software reliably solves standard problems. But as soon as your business model has its own logic — special pricing, an industry-specific booking system, an interface to a legacy system — it reaches its limits. Then spreadsheets, double data entry and workarounds appear that only one person in the company understands.

Our approach: Next.js, TypeScript and Payload CMS as the technical foundation. For you that means lightning-fast load times thanks to server-side rendering, a CMS back end your team can use without developer skills, and a codebase that stays maintainable and extensible for years — without plugin chaos.

What sets us apart from agencies: you work directly with the developer. No project management layer that waters down requirements. No junior developers following a template. When you describe a technical problem, the person you're talking to understands the code behind it.

Typical projects: B2B customer portals with protected areas, document management and custom dashboards. Product configurators with real-time pricing and checkout integration. Internal tools that connect existing systems intelligently — for example an order intake that automatically creates quotes in the ERP.

Software development in Graz — tailored solutions for Styrian businesses

As a Graz-based software developer, we understand Styrian business requirements first-hand. From the Graz city centre to the industrial surrounding areas, we help SMEs replace manual processes with custom software — no vendor lock-in, no agency overhead. Local presence means short feedback loops: in-person meetings in Graz, direct availability, and a partner who understands how Austrian businesses actually operate.

For businesses in Vienna and across Austria, too

Our office is in Graz, but most of the work happens remotely: workshops by video call, regular progress you can try out, and direct contact with the developer. That works just as well for companies in Vienna, Linz or Salzburg as it does next door.

Founding a startup?

From clickable prototype to a first version customers pay for: how we keep the scope small, who owns the code, and which funding is possible.

Our Process

From first call to go-live — in 4 steps

01

Requirements analysis

Together we clarify what you need — and what you really need. A request like "we need a new website" often hides a concrete business problem: too few enquiries, manual data entry, lack of visibility. The result is a concrete technical concept with timeline and budget.

02

Architecture & design

We design the system architecture and create wireframes or a UI concept for you to approve before development starts. We also define the data structure in the CMS so your team can maintain content independently later — without touching the code.

03

Agile development

Development in two-week sprints with regular feedback. After every sprint you see real progress in a staging environment you can test yourself. Change requests go straight into the next sprint — no black box, no surprises at launch.

04

Launch & handover

Deployment on Vercel with a CI/CD pipeline, training for your team in the CMS back end and complete technical documentation. On request we also take over ongoing operation with a maintenance contract: updates, performance monitoring and further development.

Why EA Digital Solutions

More than just code

Direct developer contact

You communicate directly with the team building your software. Short paths, fast decisions, honest feedback — without unnecessary layers in between.

Everything we build belongs to you — code, data, domain. No license fees, no hidden dependencies. Full control, forever.

Built for the long term

We build software that is still maintainable and extendable in 5 years. Reliable, well-documented, and ready to grow with your business.

No agency overhead

Your budget goes where it creates value: into your software. Not into account managers, fancy offices, or unnecessary layers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Small tools and landing pages are done in two to four weeks. We plan more complex web apps or multi-page projects together — typically six to twelve weeks. A realistic schedule takes your feedback cycles into account: we can develop fast, but the time needed for alignment on your side sets the overall pace. Rush projects with a shortened timeline are possible but require daily availability for feedback.
Our standard stack: Next.js with React, TypeScript, Payload CMS 3, PostgreSQL on Neon, Tailwind CSS for styling, Vercel for hosting and deployment. For specific requirements we add: Stripe for payments, n8n for workflow automation, OpenAI/Claude APIs for AI integration, Sharp for image processing. The entire stack is open source — no proprietary vendor lock-in.
Custom projects start at €3,500 for simple websites with a CMS. Complex web applications with custom business logic, API integrations and automations range between €8,000 and €25,000. After a free intro call you receive a binding fixed-price quote — no surprise add-ons. For ongoing support we offer maintenance packages from €200/month.
Yes. We support most of our clients long-term because projects keep evolving after launch. Maintenance packages cover security updates, performance monitoring, small adjustments and technical support. Larger developments are planned and quoted as separate projects. You're not obliged to sign a maintenance contract — the code belongs to you and can be taken over by another developer at any time.
Yes. All our projects are based on Payload CMS — a modern headless CMS with an intuitive interface. You can change texts, images, blog posts and structured content yourself without a developer. For structural changes (new page types, additional fields, integrations) we're there for you.
No vendor lock-in. The entire source code belongs to you and is managed in a Git repository. The technologies we use (Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL) are open source and widely used — any qualified developer can take over the codebase and continue developing it.
Every project is developed in TypeScript — which prevents a whole class of bugs at compile time. Code reviews are standard, and critical business logic gets automated tests. The deployment pipeline on Vercel makes sure only tested code goes live. On top of that: Lighthouse monitoring for performance (score above 90) and regular security updates for dependencies.
A standard website presents content. Custom software maps business processes — with custom logic, interfaces to other systems and role-based access. It's not a marketing tool but a working tool for your team.
We offer maintenance contracts with guaranteed response times. Critical bugs are fixed within 4 hours, standard adjustments within 2 working days. You decide whether to book hosting only or a full service including further development.
