FAQ
What can be built for $1,500?
The Starter MVP is a focused first version: project planning, a responsive web application, the core user flow, a basic admin dashboard, database setup, deployment, and launch support. It is designed to get a clear first product live.
What is included in the $2,500 Complete Custom Site?
The Complete Custom Site covers a fuller feature set with more polish and testing. Scope is still defined and approved before development so the flat fee stays tied to a clear plan.
Is $1,500 or $2,500 the price for every application?
No. Those are flat fees for approved MVP or complete custom site scopes. Advanced integrations, native mobile apps, complex marketplaces, healthcare compliance, financial systems, or large platforms may need a custom quote.
Is financing available?
Yes. Financing options are available for approved projects. We can discuss details during your consultation.
How long does development take?
For flat-fee projects, the standard timeline is two weeks: Week 1 delivers the initial UI and shell of the site; Week 2 completes the build and testing so the site is ready to launch.
Do I own the software?
Code ownership terms are explained before development begins so you know what you own and how handoff works.
What happens after launch?
Flat-fee projects include launch support so you have help getting live and addressing early issues after release.
Are hosting and third-party fees included?
No. Hosting and third-party service fees (payments, email, SMS, maps, and similar) are not included in the flat project fee.
Can you build mobile apps?
We build mobile-friendly web applications as part of the flat-fee tiers. Native iOS or Android apps typically require a custom quote.
What information do I need to get started?
Start with your idea in plain English. Our AI consultant will help organize users, features, and next steps. An email is required to begin the chat so we can save your summary for follow-up.
What happens if my idea is larger than an MVP?
We recommend a smaller first version when needed, or route the project to a custom quote when the scope clearly exceeds a flat-fee tier.
