Services & Pricing

How much does it cost to build a web application?

Web application costs vary based on complexity: Simple landing pages ($5K-$15K, 2-4 weeks), Standard web apps ($25K-$75K, 2-4 months), Complex enterprise platforms ($100K-$500K+, 6-12 months). We provide detailed estimates after understanding your requirements through our free consultation.

Do you offer fixed-price or hourly billing?

We offer both models. Fixed-price works best for well-defined projects with clear scope. Time & materials (hourly) is better for ongoing development or when requirements may evolve. We also offer dedicated team models for long-term engagements. Our hourly rates range from $75-$200 depending on expertise level.

Is there a minimum project size?

Our minimum engagement is typically $10K for project-based work. For ongoing support or dedicated teams, we have flexible arrangements starting at 20 hours per month. We also offer consultation-only services starting at $2K for strategy and architecture planning.

Do you provide maintenance and support after launch?

Yes! We offer comprehensive post-launch support including: 30-day warranty period (bug fixes at no cost), monthly maintenance plans ($1K-$5K/month based on complexity), 24/7 emergency support (add-on), feature enhancement retainers, and performance monitoring. All our projects include 90 days of free minor updates.

What payment terms do you accept?

Standard terms: 40% upfront, 40% at mid-project milestone, 20% upon delivery. For larger projects, we can structure milestone-based payments. We accept wire transfers, ACH, credit cards (3% fee), and for enterprises, net-30 terms after credit approval. All prices in USD.

Do you offer discounts for nonprofits or startups?

Yes! We offer 20% discount for registered nonprofits and 15% for early-stage startups (pre-seed/seed). We also have an incubator program where we provide development services in exchange for equity (case-by-case basis). Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

Process & Timeline

What is your typical development process?

1) Discovery & Planning (1-2 weeks): Requirements gathering, architecture design, timeline planning. 2) Design Phase (2-3 weeks): UI/UX design, prototypes, user testing. 3) Development (varies): Agile sprints with bi-weekly demos. 4) Testing & QA (ongoing + final 2 weeks). 5) Deployment & Launch (1 week). 6) Post-launch support (ongoing).

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

Simple apps (3-4 months): Basic features, 1-2 platforms, standard UI. Medium complexity (5-8 months): Custom features, complex backend, both iOS & Android. Complex apps (9-18 months): Advanced features, real-time sync, payment integration, scalable architecture. MVP versions can be delivered in 6-8 weeks for validation.

Can you work with our existing team?

Absolutely! We excel at augmenting existing teams. We can provide dedicated developers, technical leads, or specialized experts (AI/ML, DevOps, Security) who integrate seamlessly with your workflow. We use your tools (Jira, Slack, GitHub) and follow your processes.

How often will I receive updates on my project?

We provide daily async updates via Slack/email, weekly detailed status reports with progress metrics, and bi-weekly sprint demos (live walkthrough of new features). You have 24/7 access to our project management system to view real-time progress, issues, and timelines.

What happens if the project takes longer than estimated?

For fixed-price projects, we absorb cost overruns if they are due to our estimation errors. If scope changes or new requirements emerge, we document them and provide revised estimates for your approval before proceeding. For time & materials projects, you have full transparency and control over the budget.

Can I change requirements during development?

Yes, with our Agile methodology, changes are expected and manageable. Minor tweaks are incorporated at no extra cost. Significant changes trigger a formal change request process where we assess impact on timeline and budget, get your approval, and adjust the project plan accordingly.
