Common questions about how we work, what's included, and what happens after launch.
How long does a typical build take?
Most tools ship in 1–4 weeks from kickoff. Larger or more complex projects can run 6–8 weeks. We commit to a firm timeline before any work begins, so you'll know what to expect.
Who owns the code?
You do. Once your tool is delivered and final payment is made, the codebase is yours. We retain the right to apply general patterns and approaches in future client work, but the specific application (your branding, your data, your workflows) belongs entirely to you.
What's included in the monthly retainer?
Hosting, uptime monitoring, security updates, bug fixes, and small changes (typically up to about two hours of development per month). Larger feature additions are scoped and quoted separately, so you're never surprised by a bill.
What happens if we cancel the retainer?
You receive the codebase as-is and become responsible for hosting and ongoing maintenance. Our agreement specifies that no further changes or support are provided after cancellation without a new scope of work. We always provide a clean, documented handoff so the transition is smooth.
What does pricing look like?
Every project is different, so we don't list flat prices. They depend on scope and complexity. After a 20-minute discovery conversation, we'll send you a fixed build fee plus a flat monthly retainer. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Where will my tool be hosted?
We use a modern cloud hosting platform by default. It's fast, reliable, and easy for us to manage on your behalf. If you have a specific hosting requirement (your own AWS account, a particular region, etc.), we can accommodate that as part of the build.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, on a case-by-case basis. For most engagements, the mutual confidentiality clause in our standard agreement is sufficient. If you have a specific NDA you need signed, send it over and we'll review.
What kinds of tools do you build?
Internal dashboards, data management boards, calculators and estimators, portfolio trackers, scoring and event tools. Anything where a custom interface beats stitching together spreadsheets. Browse the Tools section above for live examples.
