# Custom software and web development

In short: **NodePoint** builds custom web applications, company websites, internal systems and automation — remotely, for companies in Burgas and across Bulgaria. NodePoint created and maintains its own products, Sentinel and NodePoint News, which run in production every day. The first conversation is free — call +359 887 975 180.

## Who custom development is for

- **Companies running on spreadsheets and email** that lose hours copying data by hand — between stock, quotes, invoices and schedules.
- **Companies that need a client portal** — requests, status, documents, client login.
- **Small businesses and venues** that need a fast, clear website with contact details, services and a form — without heavy templates.
- **Organisations with legacy software** that nobody maintains and that is no longer secure.

## How development works

1. **Free conversation** — what problem the system solves, who will use it, what exists today. Meetings can be online.
2. **Scope and quote** — a list of features, stages, timeframe and price. The most useful part is built first.
3. **Development in stages** — after each stage you see a working version and give feedback.
4. **Launch** — data migration, user training.
5. **Support** — updates, security, new features.

Rights to the source code, documentation and access credentials are agreed in the contract, according to the project and your needs.

## Our projects: Sentinel and NodePoint News

NodePoint's two products are the best proof of what we can build for you — they run in production every day.

### Sentinel by NodePoint

A cybersecurity awareness training platform: schedules and groups, quizzes sent by email with no employee accounts, a results dashboard for management, an annual PDF record, multiple languages, two-factor authentication for administrators and card payments. As of 5 November 2026: 18 topics and more than 3,400 questions (in Bulgarian).

### NodePoint News

An autonomous cybersecurity news portal in Bulgarian: every day it collects news from leading international sources, translates and summarises it with AI, adds a risk assessment for Bulgaria and a link to the original. It has RSS, a Google News sitemap and `llms.txt` for AI assistants.

## Secure and fast by default

NodePoint is a cybersecurity company, so security is not an optional extra: two-factor authentication for administrators, limits against mass login attempts, an activity log, regular updates and a minimum of external dependencies. Websites are built to be fast — without unnecessary scripts and third-party services that slow down loading and track visitors.

## A website that both Google and AI assistants can find

More and more people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Perplexity instead of searching on Google. NodePoint builds websites so that AI search engines can read and cite them: all text is in HTML with no JavaScript required, pages answer customers' questions directly, the company details are consistent everywhere, and there is structured data (Schema.org), `llms.txt` and Markdown versions of the pages. This website — nodepoint.bg — is built the same way, in Bulgarian and English.

## How much does a website or web application cost?

The price depends on the number of features, integrations with other systems, the number of roles and languages, and whether old data needs to be migrated. A company website with a few pages and a form is a project of weeks; a web application with roles and integrations takes months. NodePoint gives a staged quote after the first, free conversation — prices are by individual quote only.

## Support and hosting after launch

Software needs updates, monitoring and backups, otherwise it becomes vulnerable within a year. NodePoint can host and maintain the application on its own servers in Bulgaria, make off-site backups of data and configurations, or hand the application over to your own server. For hosting and backups see [servers for businesses](https://nodepoint.bg/en/services/servers/).

## Frequently asked questions about custom software

### How long does it take to build a company website?

A company website with a few pages, contact details and a form usually takes a few weeks if the texts and photos are ready. Delays most often come from the content, not the programming. NodePoint gives an exact timeframe in the quote.

### Does NodePoint work with companies outside Burgas?

Yes, software and websites are developed remotely for clients anywhere in Bulgaria. Meetings can be online and, if needed, in person in Burgas.

### Why custom software rather than an off-the-shelf product?

An off-the-shelf product is the better choice when it covers 80% of your needs — in that case NodePoint will recommend it. Custom software makes sense when your process is specific, when several systems need to be connected, or when the licences for a ready-made solution cost more than the development.

### Will I be able to edit the website texts myself?

Yes, if that is a requirement — NodePoint agrees the editing method in the quote. For small websites it is often faster and safer for us to make changes when needed, rather than maintaining a heavy content management system.

### Is the website ready for ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity?

Yes, NodePoint websites are built to be readable by AI search engines: the text is in HTML without JavaScript, there is structured data, `llms.txt` and direct answers to customers' questions. This does not guarantee that an AI will recommend you, but it removes the technical barriers to reading and citing you.

### Who owns the source code after payment?

This is agreed in the contract according to the project and your needs. You can receive full rights, the source code, documentation and access credentials, so that another developer can continue the work; a licence for use with support from NodePoint is also possible. Whatever you choose is put in writing before work begins.
