FAQ
Custom software — questions, answered
How much does custom software development cost?
Custom software is scoped and quoted per project. We define a useful first release, agree a fixed price, and expand in phases so you see value early.
What can you build?
Web and mobile apps, internal tools and dashboards, API integrations, AI assistants and automation — anything an off-the-shelf tool can't cover.
Will we own the code?
Yes. You own the code, the data and the accounts. We document the setup and can hand it to your team or keep supporting it.
How long does it take?
A focused first release is usually weeks, not months. We build in the open with a staging link you can watch update.
Do you hire out senior developers?
You work directly with the senior engineers building your software — not a queue of juniors.
