Frequently Asked Questions

We specialise in integration. Whether it is your CRM, accounting software, or industry-specific tools, we connect your new application to your existing systems.

Our core stack is Next.js, React, and TypeScript, but we select technology based on your project needs. We have experience with Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and all major cloud platforms.

Timelines depend on scope, but most projects go from kickoff to launch in 4-8 weeks. A working prototype is ready within the first 2 weeks for early feedback.

Yes. Every project includes 3 months of post-launch support covering bug fixes, performance tuning, and minor feature additions. We also offer ongoing retainer plans.

Pricing depends on what you need - a simple web app costs less than a complex system with multiple integrations. We provide fixed-price proposals after a free discovery session.
