Frequently asked questions

We specialize in web development, custom software, mobile apps (iOS & Android), UI/UX design, digital marketing, and cloud/DevOps. We work with startups, mid-market companies, and enterprises across industries including fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, and SaaS.

Our headquarters is in San Francisco, CA. We have distributed team members across the US and globally, providing a minimum of 6 hours daily overlap with US business hours for seamless collaboration.

Three key differentiators: (1) Senior-only teams — every project is staffed with 5+ year veterans, (2) Outcome-driven — we measure success by your business metrics, not hours billed, (3) Radical transparency — weekly demos, open Slack channels, and real-time project dashboards.

Timelines vary by scope: A marketing website takes 4-8 weeks, a web application 8-16 weeks, and enterprise software 4-12 months. We provide a detailed timeline during our discovery phase. Use our project cost calculator for quick estimates.

We follow a four-phase process: (1) Discovery — research, strategy, and planning, (2) Design — wireframes, prototypes, and visual design, (3) Development — agile sprints with weekly demos, (4) Launch & Scale — QA, deployment, and ongoing support. You'll have full visibility at every stage.

Yes. All projects include a post-launch support period (30 days for Starter, 90 days for Growth, ongoing for Enterprise). We also offer retainer agreements for continuous development, maintenance, and optimization.

Projects typically start at $15K for marketing websites and range to $100K+ for enterprise systems. We offer three engagement models: fixed-price, time & materials, and monthly retainers. Visit our pricing page for detailed tiers or use our cost calculator for a quick estimate.

You do. Upon final payment, all source code, designs, and intellectual property are transferred to you with full ownership rights. We use open-source technologies and frameworks to avoid vendor lock-in.

For fixed-price projects: 30% upfront, 40% at midpoint, 30% upon delivery. For retainers: monthly invoicing with net-15 terms. We accept wire transfers, ACH, and major credit cards.

Our primary stack includes: React, Next.js, Vue.js (frontend), Node.js, Python, Go (backend), Flutter, React Native, Swift, Kotlin (mobile), PostgreSQL, MongoDB (databases), and AWS, GCP, Azure (cloud). We choose the best tools for each project's specific requirements.

Absolutely. We're experienced in integrating with and building upon existing systems. Whether you need to modernize legacy infrastructure, add new features to an existing platform, or build complementary tools, we adapt to your technical environment.
