Frequently Asked Questions

Timelines depend on complexity, but most sites launch within 4-8 weeks. We start with a rapid prototype in the first 2 weeks so you can see your site taking shape early.

Absolutely. You get 3 months of hands-on support after launch, including monitoring, fixes, and training. We also offer ongoing retainer packages for businesses that want continued development.

Our process includes discovery and strategy, wireframing, custom design, hand-coded development, SEO setup, testing across devices, launch, and 3 months of post-launch support.

We can work with both platforms, but we often recommend a custom-coded approach that outperforms both for performance, SEO, and long-term flexibility. Book a free assessment to discuss your options.

If neither platform fits, we build fully custom websites using modern frameworks like Next.js. This gives you complete control over performance, design, and functionality without platform limitations.

Pricing depends on what you need - a simple brochure site costs less than a complex web application with integrations. We provide transparent quotes after a free discovery session so there are no surprises.

It depends on your specific needs. Web Design excels in some areas while App Design is stronger in others. Our detailed comparison above helps you decide based on your priorities.
