Web development
Web development that ships something real
Custom web applications, dashboards, portals and business websites built on React, Next.js and Node.js — scoped in writing, delivered in stages, and handed over with the code, the hosting and the logins in your name.
A written scope and a fixed number before any work starts — not a discovery retainer.
Quick answer
What does custom web development cost in India, and how long does it take?
Mana Studio builds custom web applications, dashboards, customer portals, ecommerce stores and business websites on React, Next.js, Node.js and MongoDB. On the India price list a business website is ₹25,000 and an ecommerce or custom-logic build starts at ₹60,000; application work above that is quoted to scope after a discovery call, as a fixed number against a written scope naming what is included and what is explicitly excluded. A business website takes one to two weeks, a focused application MVP four to eight weeks, and larger platforms are delivered in stages so there is working software early rather than a demo at the end. The repository, hosting account, domain, database and every API key are handed over in the client's name at launch. Mana Studio is based in Warangal, Telangana, India, works with clients in India, the United States, the United Kingdom and the UAE in English, Telugu and Hindi, and replies to enquiries within one business day.

Most web projects do not fail on design. They fail because nobody wrote down what the thing was supposed to do before somebody started building it, and six weeks in the scope is three times what was quoted. We work the other way round: a short discovery call, a written scope with what is in and what is explicitly out, a fixed number, then staged delivery so you see working software early rather than a demo at the end.
The work ranges from a marketing site that has to load fast and rank, through customer portals and internal dashboards, to full web applications with authentication, roles, payments and a real database behind them. The stack is deliberately boring and well-supported — React and Next.js on the front, Node.js and MongoDB behind it — because the point is a codebase your next developer can pick up, not one only we can maintain.
What we build
Custom web applications
Multi-user applications with authentication, roles and permissions, a real database, and an admin side for the people who run the business. Built as an MVP first so there is something usable before the budget is gone.
Dashboards and internal portals
The screens your team actually works in — order queues, reporting, approvals, customer records. Usually the thing replacing a spreadsheet that four people email around.
Business websites built to rank
Next.js sites with on-page SEO, schema and sitemaps generated at build time rather than bolted on, and Core Web Vitals treated as a requirement instead of a nice-to-have.
Ecommerce and checkout
Catalogue, cart and payment with UPI, Razorpay or PhonePe, plus the order and inventory side the storefront is useless without.
APIs and third-party integrations
REST APIs for your own apps, and the connections to everything else — payment gateways, WhatsApp Business API, CRMs, ERPs, delivery partners, analytics.
Rebuilds and rescues
Slow sites, half-finished projects, and platforms whose original developer has disappeared. We audit first and tell you honestly whether it is worth saving.
The stack we work in
Mainstream, well-supported technology — chosen so your next developer can pick the project up, not so we are the only ones who can maintain it.

How we work
How a project runs
Scope
A call about what the software has to do and who uses it, then a written scope: features in, features out, timeline, fixed price. You can take that document to another studio — that is the point of writing it down.
Design and data model
Screens and the data structure behind them, agreed before code. Changing a data model in week six is where budgets die.
Staged build
Delivered in working slices on a staging URL you can log into. You see progress every week, not a reveal at the end.
Launch and handover
Deployment, analytics and Search Console configured, and every account, key and repository transferred into your name. Support is a separate agreement, never a lock-in.
What it costs
Application work is quoted to scope after the discovery call — the honest answer is that a five-screen internal tool and a multi-tenant platform are not the same product. Where a package price is published, it is published in full:

Web Development — frequently asked questions
How much does custom web development cost in India?
It depends almost entirely on scope, so we quote after a discovery call rather than publishing a single number for "a web app". For reference, the packaged end is published: a business website is ₹25,000 and an ecommerce or custom-logic build starts at ₹60,000 on the India price list. Application work above that is quoted as a fixed price against a written scope before anything starts.
How long does a web application take to build?
A focused MVP is typically 4–8 weeks. A business website is 1–2 weeks. A larger platform with several user roles, payments and integrations runs longer and is delivered in stages, so you have something working well before the final one.
Why React and Next.js rather than WordPress?
For a brochure site, WordPress is often the right answer and we will say so. Next.js earns its place when the site needs to be genuinely fast, when there is application logic behind it, or when hundreds of pages have to be generated from data — which is where a plugin stack starts fighting you. We build in both; the recommendation follows the project.
Do you work with businesses outside Telangana?
Yes. The team is remote and distributed across India, with the business based in Warangal. Clients are in India, the United States, the United Kingdom and the UAE, and the entire process runs over calls, WhatsApp and a shared staging environment.
Who owns the code?
You do, completely. The repository, the hosting account, the domain, the database and every API key are handed over in your name at launch. Nothing we build stops working if you stop working with us, and there is no platform fee to us.
Can you take over a project someone else started?
Often, yes. We start with a paid audit of the existing codebase and give you a straight answer on whether continuing is cheaper than rebuilding. Sometimes it is not, and we would rather tell you that at the audit stage than three months in.
