I will build a custom web app or client portal with a real database


About this gig
A lot of what gets sold as a web app is a page with a form. This is the other thing: a login, a database behind it, roles, and an admin who can change things without calling you.
I run five of these in production. Client portals at emptybar.app where each client signs in and edits their own data, built on Next.js and Airtable, deployed on Vercel behind auth. A campaign site with tokenized volunteer route pages and a live organizer dashboard, used by real volunteers in the field. A newsletter platform with scripted issue builds.
Stack: TypeScript and Next.js, Supabase or Airtable for the back end, Vercel or Cloudflare for hosting, Stripe when money moves, Resend or EmailOctopus for mail. Real domain, real DNS, real certificate.
What you get: a deployed app on your own domain and your own accounts, the source code, and documentation. Nothing keeps running on my login after handoff.
Tell me who signs in, what they see, and what they change. That is enough for me to scope it.

FAQ
Do I own the code and the accounts?
Yes. The repository is yours and the app runs on your Vercel, Supabase, and domain accounts, or I set those up in your name. Nothing stays on my login after handoff, and you are never locked out of your own system.
What does it cost to run every month?
Vercel and Supabase both have real free tiers that cover small projects. Airtable charges per editor past its free limits. I price the stack around your budget and tell you the monthly number before we start, not after.
Can you build to a design I already have?
Yes, send Figma files or a site to match. If there is no design I will make one. If the project is mostly visual and does not need a database, my website gig is the better fit and usually costs less.
