1. What are the skill-sets of your developers?
Our team covers the full stack: Java, PHP, Node.js and React on the web side; Swift and Kotlin (plus React Native and Flutter for cross-platform builds) on mobile; Salesforce for CRM implementations; and Ruby on Rails for rapid backend development. We also have dedicated QA, DevOps and UI/UX specialists, so a project doesn't stall waiting on a single skill set. If you have a specific technology in mind, contact us and we'll confirm we have the right people available before we quote anything.
2. What are staff augmentation services and what is it used for?
Staff augmentation is a flexible hiring model that lets you add vetted developers, testers or designers to your existing team without going through a full-time hiring process. You keep direct day-to-day control of the work, while we handle recruitment, contracts and backup coverage. It's typically used to fill a skills gap for a specific project, to scale a team up quickly for a deadline, or to cover a role while you run a permanent search — without the overhead of a full outsourced engagement.
3. How do we get started?
Start by telling us briefly what you're trying to build or fix — a short project description is enough to begin with. Our team will review it and get back to you, usually within 24 hours, with clarifying questions and a recommended next step, whether that's a scoping call, a rough estimate, or a proposal. There's no obligation at this stage; it's simply how we make sure we understand your requirements before committing to anything.
4. What is the cost of developing a web application?
Cost depends on a handful of factors: the platform (custom build vs. a CMS/no-code base), the number and complexity of features, integrations with third-party systems, and whether you need ongoing support after launch. Simple marketing sites and MVPs cost far less than a full multi-role platform with custom workflows. Rather than quote a generic range that won't match your actual project, share your requirements with us and we'll give you a real estimate based on scope.
5. Is it possible to hire a developer on an hourly basis?
Yes. We offer hourly, monthly (dedicated resource) and fixed-bid engagement models. Hourly works well for smaller, open-ended tasks or ongoing maintenance; a dedicated monthly resource suits longer projects where you want a consistent team member; and fixed-bid is best when the scope is well defined upfront. We can also mix models across a single engagement — for example, fixed-bid for the initial build and hourly for post-launch support.
6. What if I am not satisfied with your work?
Client satisfaction is our top priority, and across 1500+ clients we work hard to keep it that way. If something isn't meeting expectations, tell us specifically what's wrong — we'll review the deliverable against the agreed scope and work with you on a resolution, whether that's revisions, a change in approach, or escalation to a senior team member. Clear scope documents and regular check-ins throughout a project are how we try to catch issues early, before they become a bigger problem at delivery.
7. If I hire a developer, does that mean I have that person dedicated only to me?
Yes. If you hire a dedicated developer, they work solely on your project during their contracted hours — not split across other clients. If you hire an entire dedicated team, the same applies: that team works on your project only. This is different from our project-based (fixed-bid) engagements, where a broader pool of specialists may contribute to specific tasks as needed.
8. How long does a typical project take?
It depends heavily on scope. A focused MVP typically takes 6-8 weeks from kickoff to a testable build. A mid-sized web or mobile application with several core features usually runs 3-5 months. Larger platforms with multiple integrations, custom workflows, or compliance requirements can take longer. During scoping, we break the project into milestones so you have a concrete timeline — not just a single end date — and can see progress along the way.
9. Do you sign an NDA before discussing my project?
Yes. We're happy to sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement before any detailed discussion of your idea, codebase, or business data. Just let us know when you reach out and we'll send one over, or you're welcome to share your own template.
10. Who owns the code and IP once the project is delivered?
You do. Once a project is delivered and paid for in full, the intellectual property and source code belong to you, as set out in the service agreement for that engagement. We don't reuse client-specific business logic or proprietary code on other projects.
11. Do you provide support and maintenance after launch?
Yes. Most engagements include a post-launch warranty period for fixing any defects introduced during development, and we offer ongoing maintenance and support retainers beyond that for updates, monitoring, and feature additions. We'll outline the specific support options available for your project during scoping.
12. How do you communicate progress during a project?
We agree on a communication cadence upfront — typically a weekly status update plus a recurring call, supplemented by a shared project management tool (such as Jira or Trello) where you can see task-level progress in real time. For staff augmentation engagements, you communicate directly with the developer or team, the same as you would with an in-house hire.
13. Can you work with our existing codebase or team?
Yes. A large share of our work is joining an existing codebase — whether that's fixing bugs, adding features to a legacy system, or augmenting an in-house team that needs extra capacity. We'll typically start with a short codebase review to understand the current architecture before committing to a timeline, so estimates are based on the real state of the code rather than assumptions.
