How much does web development cost?
Project costs depend on complexity. Simple websites start around $2,500, business sites $5,000-15,000, web applications $10,000-50,000+. Our hourly rate starts at $45/hr and we provide fixed quotes after discovery.
How long does a project take?
Simple websites: 3-4 weeks. Business sites with CMS: 4-6 weeks. Web applications: 8-16 weeks. Shopify stores: 2-6 weeks. We provide detailed timelines with milestones during the proposal phase.
What's your development process?
Agile methodology with 2-week sprints. Each sprint includes planning, daily updates, and a demo. You get staging access from day one to review progress in real-time.
Do I own the source code?
100%. Full repository access from day one. At completion you receive all code, designs, documentation, and deployment guides. No vendor lock-in ever.
What technologies do you use?
We're technology-agnostic: React/Next.js, Vue 3/Nuxt, Laravel, Node.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB. We also specialize in Shopify, WooCommerce, and WordPress.
Do you provide hosting?
We deploy to the best platform for your needs: Vercel, Netlify, AWS, Railway, Firebase, WP Engine, Shopify, or your existing host. Full deployment pipeline setup included.
What about post-launch support?
All projects include post-launch support for bug fixes and adjustments. We offer monthly retainers for ongoing maintenance, monitoring, feature development, and priority support.
Can you work with our existing team?
Absolutely. We integrate with your developers, designers, and product managers. We can lead, augment, or work under your team's direction.
How does billing work?
Our rate starts at $45/hr with transparent time tracking. For fixed-scope projects, we offer milestone-based billing: 30% upfront, then tied to deliverables.
What if I'm not happy with the work?
Each milestone includes review and approval. If something doesn't meet expectations, we revise before moving forward. Our 98% retention rate speaks to our commitment.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We're happy to sign NDAs before any project discussion. Confidentiality is standard practice for all engagements.
Can you take over a project another team started?
Yes. We regularly take over from other agencies or in-house teams. We start with a codebase audit, then proceed with fixes, refactoring, or feature development.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes. React Native and Flutter for cross-platform mobile apps. We also build Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for native-like experiences without app store overhead.
What about SEO?
All our websites are built with SEO best practices: semantic HTML, meta tags, schema markup, fast load times, mobile-first design, and proper URL structure.
Can you integrate with third-party services?
Yes. We've integrated with hundreds of services: Stripe, PayPal, Salesforce, HubSpot, Twilio, SendGrid, Zapier, and custom APIs.
Do you offer design services?
Yes. UI/UX design, wireframing, prototyping, and design system creation. We can work from your existing brand guidelines or create a complete visual identity.
What about e-commerce platforms?
We specialize in Shopify (including Plus), WooCommerce, and custom e-commerce solutions. We help you choose the right platform based on your needs.
Can you build a marketplace?
Yes. Multi-vendor marketplaces with vendor onboarding, commission management, and payout automation on Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom platforms.
What is headless development?
Headless separates the frontend (what users see) from the backend (content management). This allows faster page loads, better developer experience, and multi-platform content delivery.
Do you offer ongoing retainers?
Yes. Monthly retainers covering maintenance, updates, monitoring, feature development, and priority support. Packages tailored to your needs.
