FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does a typical engagement start?
We begin with a free discovery call to understand your goals, constraints, and timeline. From there, we propose a scope and timeline. Once aligned, we kick off with a strategy phase before moving into design and engineering.
What's your typical project timeline?
Most projects run 4-12 weeks depending on scope. A focused landing page or marketing site takes 2-3 weeks. A full product design and build takes 8-12 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
Yes. We've helped dozens of startups go from idea to launched product. Our Starter package is designed specifically for teams launching their first digital product. We also offer deferred payment options for funded startups.
What technologies do you use?
We're framework-agnostic but specialize in React, Next.js, Astro, and TypeScript on the frontend, with Node.js, PostgreSQL, and cloud infrastructure on the backend. We choose the stack that best fits your product's needs.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Every project includes a post-launch support period. For teams that need continuous design and development, our Enterprise plan provides a dedicated team on a monthly retainer. We're invested in long-term partnerships.
Who owns the intellectual property?
You do. All design files, source code, and assets are yours. We deliver everything in organized, well-documented repositories. No lock-in, no proprietary systems, no surprises.
