Common Questions

What does a software development company do?

We build web apps, e-commerce stores, mobile apps, and SaaS products. The whole stack—from initial planning to launch.

How much does custom software cost?

$5,000 to $50,000+, depending on what you're building. We'll give you a realistic number after we talk about what you need. No sticker shock.

How long does it take to build software?

Small stuff: 4-8 weeks. Bigger projects: 3-6 months. We get something working early, then iterate.

Do you work with startups?

Yep. Dozens of them. We know the drill—tight budgets, fast timelines, need to validate before going all in.

What's your development process?

Chat first to figure out what you need. Then we build it in chunks, you review, we tweak. You'll always know what's happening.
