Bridging Legacy & Future.

Technology moves fast. If your business runs on legacy code, you are accumulating "Technical Debt" every day. We help CTOs and Founders bridge the gap.

At Citual, we are language-agnostic but opinionated on quality. Whether it's spinning up a marketing site on WordPress, building a SaaS on Next.js, or modernizing a mission-critical .NET Application, we write clean, secure, and scalable code.

Architecture & Stack Selection

System DesignScalabilityTech Fit Analysis

We don't force one technology. We analyze your goal. Need a marketing engine? We deploy Enterprise WordPress. Need a scalable SaaS platform? We architect with Next.js & Node.

We map your data models and API strategy before writing a single line of code, ensuring the foundation is solid for 10x growth.

Next.js Application Development

React Server ComponentsHigh PerformanceSEO Native

For web applications that need raw speed and interactivity, we build on Next.js 14+. This creates "App-like" experiences on the web.

We use Tailwind CSS for rapid UI development and ensure deep SEO integration using Server-Side Rendering (SSR), making your app visible to Google instantly.

Enterprise WordPress Solutions

Headless CMSCustom BlocksSecurity Hardening

We don't buy themes; we build systems. For content-heavy sites, we engineer custom WordPress themes that are lightweight, secure, and easy for your marketing team to manage.

We can also implement Headless WordPress, using WP as the backend and React as the frontend for the best of both worlds.

Legacy .NET Modernization

.NET UpgradeCloud MigrationCode Refactoring

Stuck on old .NET? Our specialized team takes legacy .NET Framework (WebForms/MVC) applications and upgrades them to modern .NET Core architectures.

We don't just lift and shift. We refactor the code to be cloud-native, faster, and ready for AI integration, extending the life of your critical software by another decade.

AI & LLM Integration

OpenAI APILangChainIntelligent Workflows

We turn "dumb" software into "smart" assistants. We integrate Agentic AI pipelines into your web apps.

Whether it's an AI that summarizes PDFs, a Chatbot that queries your SQL database, or an automated reporting engine, we bridge the gap between your data and Generative AI.

Database & API Engineering

PostgreSQLGraphQLREST APIs

A pretty frontend is useless without a powerful backend. We architect robust REST & GraphQL APIs using strict TypeScript safety.

We optimize database queries (PostgreSQL/SQL Server) to handle millions of records without slowing down, ensuring your dashboards load instantly.

Security & Compliance

OWASPEncryptionRBAC

Security is not an add-on. We implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and data encryption by default.

Especially for our .NET and Enterprise clients, we ensure compliance with modern security standards (OWASP Top 10) to protect sensitive corporate data.

DevOps & CI/CD Deployment

Automated TestingAzure / AWSZero Downtime

We automate the delivery pipeline. Using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, we set up CI/CD workflows so you can deploy updates daily with confidence.

We manage the cloud infrastructure (AWS/Vercel/Azure), ensuring auto-scaling and high availability for your mission-critical apps.

Engineering FAQ

Technical Protocols

Common questions about stacks, security, and legacy migration.

It depends on your goal. For Content-Heavy Marketing Sites that need easy editing by non-tech teams, we deploy Enterprise WordPress. For Web Applications (SaaS), Dashboards, or high-performance platforms requiring dynamic data, we use Next.js for speed and scalability.
Yes. This is our core engineering strength. Our Senior .NET Team specializes in taking legacy .NET Framework (4.x) applications and refactoring them into modern .NET Core / Cloud-Native architectures, integrating AI features without breaking your business logic.
We don't just build static forms. We integrate LLMs (OpenAI/Azure AI) directly into your software. Imagine a CRM that drafts emails for you, or an inventory system that predicts stock shortages. We turn 'Data Entry' software into 'Decision Support' systems.
Absolutely. We often act as the 'Special Forces' augmentation for existing teams. We handle the complex migrations or AI integrations that your internal team might not have the bandwidth or specialized skills to execute.
We follow OWASP Top 10 standards. All applications are built with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Data Encryption (At Rest & In Transit), and rigorous Input Validation. We build with a 'Secure by Design' philosophy.
