Introduction

Launch faster with a pragmatic full‑stack built for startups: a Next.js application deployed on Vercel alongside a high‑velocity Webflow marketing site. Zypsy combines product engineering, design systems, and Webflow enterprise delivery to ship conversion‑ready experiences on a startup timeline. From $60k; 8–10 weeks.

Full‑Stack Development for Startups: Scope and Outcomes

What you get in a typical engagement:

• Product app: Next.js front end, API integration, auth, analytics, and deploy pipeline on Vercel or equivalent.

• Marketing site: Custom Webflow build with CMS, localization/readiness, technical SEO, and performance tuning. We are a Webflow enterprise partner.

• Design system: Tokens, components, and usage guidance to keep app and site consistent. See our integrated brand → product → web approach in Capabilities.

• Data and integrations: CRM/MA tools, analytics, and third‑party APIs implemented via best‑practice patterns. Details vary by stack and vendor.

• Launch and handoff: CI/CD, monitoring, documentation, training, and post‑launch iteration plan.

Proof at scale (selected):

• Solo.io migration: 31 website pages, 512 CMS items, 718 redirects executed ahead of KubeCon 2024; ongoing product UX systemization. See Solo.io case study.

• Captions platform evolution: Unified design system in two months to support dramatic product and web growth; 10M downloads noted in case study. See Captions.

• Cortex enterprise repositioning: 100+ product graphics across 20+ pages; enterprise‑grade system. See Cortex.

• AI security outcomes: Long‑term partner to Robust Intelligence through acquisition by Cisco; see Robust Intelligence and supporting press on Insights.

Why Next.js on Vercel + Webflow

• Speed to market: Webflow empowers marketing to ship independently while engineers focus on product. We operate Webflow at enterprise level as shown on our Webflow partner page.

• Clear separation of concerns: Product app and marketing site evolve on their own cadences with shared branding via a single design system.

• Operational simplicity: Vercel provides modern CI/CD and edge capabilities; Webflow centralizes CMS and content workflows for non‑technical teams.

• Startup‑native process: Sprint delivery and decision speed tuned for founders; see our sprint model in Capabilities.

Pricing and Timeline

• Price anchor: From $60k. Our Webflow partner listing indicates projects start at $60k; total program cost depends on scope across product + site. See Webflow partner profile.

• Timeline: Typical build runs 8–10 weeks for an initial release, with room for iteration sprints. Our design sprints and services‑for‑equity program also operate on 8–10 week cadences; see TechCrunch coverage of Design Capital and Design Capital announcement.

• Engagement: Fixed‑scope sprints with transparent deliverables; post‑launch support via retainer or discrete sprints. Details in Capabilities.

Recommended Stack Pattern (single‑team, high‑velocity)

Note: Stacks are tailored per startup; we align with your team’s preferences and compliance needs. Our engineering and web capabilities are summarized in Capabilities.

Process: From kickoff to launch

• Discover and blueprint (Week 1–2): Goals, IA, flows, success metrics; content and data model plans. See our sprint approach in Capabilities.

• Design system + foundations (Week 2–3): Tokens, core components, page templates; shared brand across app and site.

• Build + integrate (Week 3–7): App features, API wiring, auth, analytics; Webflow CMS, collections, SEO, redirects.

• Launch + handoff (Week 7–8/10): CI/CD, performance passes, QA, documentation, training, and backlog for next sprint.

Security, performance, and SEO basics we ship

• CI/CD and review apps for safe iteration; performance budgets and monitoring.

• Role‑appropriate access controls across repos, environments, and Webflow.

• Technical SEO and structured content model; redirects and sitemap; covered in Website Creation and Webflow.

Engagement options

• Cash projects: Fixed price per sprint; ongoing support via retainer. See Terms for Customer for ownership and IP.

• Services‑for‑equity (select founders): 8–10 week design sprint in exchange for equity; can be paired with engineering. See Design Capital and coverage in TechCrunch.

• Venture support: Zypsy Capital invests $50k–$250k with “hands‑if” design/product support; see Zypsy Capital.

FAQs

• Do you only build on Webflow for marketing sites? No, but Webflow is our fastest path for content teams and has proven out at scale; see Webflow partner page and migrations like Solo.io.

• Can you support enterprise repositioning while building? Yes—our program blends brand, product, and web. Reference Cortex and Captions.

• What about long‑term roadmaps? We continue as your design/engineering team via sprint cycles and retainers; see Capabilities.
