FAQ
Choosing a model
Which model should we choose?
If you can describe what you need, fixed price is usually best. If you have a long roadmap or need people inside your team, choose a dedicated team. Not sure? Submit your requirements and we will recommend one.
Can we switch models later?
Yes. Many clients start with a fixed-price project and move to a dedicated team or a maintenance plan after launch.
How do payments work?
Fixed-price projects are paid by milestone. Dedicated teams, time & material and maintenance plans are invoiced monthly. All terms are agreed in writing before work starts.
Why don’t you show prices?
Every system is different, so a fixed quote after a short discovery is fairer than a price list. For a ballpark in minutes, use our project estimator.
Do we always get lifetime support?
Yes. The Lifetime Support Guarantee comes with every project, whichever model you choose. Maintenance plans are optional extras on top.
