Question 1

How long does a project take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope — a focused workflow tool is faster than a multi-tenant SaaS with billing. After discovery, we give you a timeline tied to the signed scope, not a guess.

Question 2

What's the process in plain English?

Accepted Answer

Discover → design sign-off → build in slices with staging previews → launch after written acceptance. Weekly updates during active build so you're never guessing.

Question 3

What if my requirements aren't clear yet?

Accepted Answer

That's common. We start with structured discovery; if you're very early, we may recommend a small paid discovery engagement so we can quote fixed price honestly.

Question 4

Do I need to be technical?

Accepted Answer

No. You need to know your business rules and users. We translate that into specifications, designs, and tests — and we explain tradeoffs without jargon walls.

Question 5

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Engagements often start from about $5,000 USD for focused work (discovery, a tight slice, or a narrow integration), depending on complexity. Many full product scopes land around $15,000–$75,000 USD fixed for the agreed work. Heavier integrations, regulated domains, or AI-heavy products can cost more — and regulated or compliance-heavy domains may use a time-and-materials model instead of fixed price. After a free consultation and written scope, you receive one firm quote. The price quoted for the signed scope is the price you pay, with no hidden line items.

Question 6

Is it really fixed price?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for the work described in the signed scope document. If priorities change, we handle it with a written change request (impact, cost, timeline) before starting new work. For regulated or compliance-heavy domains (e.g. HIPAA, PCI), we may recommend a time-and-materials model instead — we'll discuss which approach fits during the initial consultation.

Question 7

What if the project scope changes?

Accepted Answer

We document the delta, estimate it, and get your written approval. That protects you from surprise invoices and protects us from unlimited unpaid work.

Question 8

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — milestones are tied to payments so both sides stay aligned. Exact schedule is in your agreement.

Question 9

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Typically ACH/wire and major cards via invoice — we'll confirm what works for your geography during contracting.

Question 10

How do you use AI in delivery?

Accepted Answer

We use modern AI-assisted development under senior engineer direction — not as a substitute for judgment. Critical behavior is defined with tests and review; you approve design before engineering locks in; scope changes are documented and approved in writing; you see staging builds and weekly updates throughout. We don't publish proprietary internal tooling; we do make these guardrails explicit so you're not buying a black box.

Question 11

What technologies do you use?

Accepted Answer

Modern, mainstream stacks: React/Next.js, Node.js, Python, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD — chosen for reliability and long-term maintainability.

Question 12

Will I own the code?

Accepted Answer

You own your product-specific logic and the software built for your business. Reusable infrastructure modules may be licensed for use in your product; contract language spells this out up front.

Question 13

Can you work with our existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes — integrations and brownfield work are common. We'll assess risk early; sometimes a phased plan is safer than a big-bang rewrite.

Question 14

Do you provide hosting?

Accepted Answer

We can host and operate production for you, or hand off a repo with deployment documentation — whichever fits your model.

Question 15

What about security?

Accepted Answer

We follow secure development practices, avoid secrets in code, and use dependency and static checks. For regulated domains, we'll be explicit about what is — and isn't — in scope.

Question 16

How do I know you'll deliver?

Accepted Answer

You get incremental working software on staging, weekly updates, and written scope — not a black box. We're incentivized to finish: fixed price means clarity and execution.

Question 17

What if I'm not happy with the work?

Accepted Answer

Raise it early on staging — that's what previews are for. We triage: bugs vs. scope changes. Serious concerns get a direct conversation and a written path forward.

Question 18

Can I see progress during the build?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Staging access begins when there's something meaningful to click — not at the very end.

Question 19

What happens after launch?

Accepted Answer

We provide handoff docs and optional monthly support for changes, monitoring, and small improvements — so you're not stranded.

Question 20

How is this different from hiring a freelancer?

Accepted Answer

A repeatable delivery system: documented scope, change control, automated tests on core logic, and consistent communication. You're buying outcomes and process, not just hours.
