Common questions

Not at all. Some of our best work is helping solopreneurs go from "I have this idea" to a working product. We'll help you figure out what to build first, what can wait, and how to get something in front of real users without burning through your savings. Starting lean is smart — we'll make sure you stay that way.

Yes — and that's what the discovery call is for. A lot of people come to us knowing the problem but not the solution. We'll ask the right questions, cut through the noise, and map out a realistic path forward. Sometimes the answer is simpler (and cheaper) than you think.

Both, depending on the project. Defined builds get fixed pricing — you know the total upfront. Ongoing maintenance or advisory work is time & materials with a monthly cap you control. We'll recommend the model that makes sense for your situation.

No minimum contract length. Some projects are a 2-week sprint, others run for months. We scope to the problem, not to a billing cycle. If you need a quick audit or a single automation, that's fine too.

Yes. Most of our clients aren't technical — that's why they hired us. We explain things in plain English, show you working demos instead of code diffs, and you'll always know what's happening and why. No jargon, no hand-waving.

Async by default — you get progress updates through your dashboard and email, no recurring meetings clogging your calendar. Need something? Reach out anytime. Response times and support levels are defined in your SLA, so you always know what to expect. No account managers, no ticket queues — just direct access to the person doing the work.

It depends on what your project needs. Common picks: React or Next.js for frontend, Node.js or Python for backend, PostgreSQL for databases, Docker for deployment, and whatever cloud or VPS makes economic sense. We pick the stack based on your requirements — not our comfort zone.

Absolutely. Most projects involve integrating with existing tools, APIs, or databases. We'll audit what you have, figure out what's worth keeping, and build around it. We don't rip and replace unless there's a clear reason to.

Security is built in, not bolted on. Every project gets encrypted credentials management, access controls, dependency scanning, and secure deployment pipelines. If you have compliance requirements (SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.), we'll scope those into the build from day one.

You get the code, the docs, and the keys. The 30-day warranty covers any bugs. After that, we offer optional maintenance retainers — or you can take it fully in-house. We build things so you're never dependent on us to keep the lights on.
