FAQs

Get in touch. We are looking forward to providing answers.

What is custom software engineering?

Custom software means we build software from scratch, entirely depending on what you want. So, it's software that is exclusively designed for and used by your company. For example a completely new platform, an optimization, or digitization of one of your tasks...

The rule of thumb remains: if there is no existing software for your problem or idea, or the existing software falls short, it's time for custom software development .

Should I choose a software engineering studio or a website design studio?

It can sometimes be confusing. If you just need a beautiful website or webshop with all the basic functionalities (like most business websites, just like this one), a website design agency is an ideal choice for you. We care about a good design, but it’s not our core business. we are specializes in engineering and developing more complex software. This can include web applications, but only if they involve a certain level of complexity or serve as a dashboard for the underlying software.

How long does it typically take to engineer a custom software solution?

It depends. We know, stupid answer, but it really is true. It depends on the size of the application, the number of features, the type of project… If we had to put a number on it, you can generally expect around 4 months from start to finish (from the initial call to having the full application online, including testing and feedback rounds). After the exploratory conversations, we can provide both a quote and a timeline estimate, so you’ll know what to expect before making any commitments.

That said, flexibility is something we value highly. We’re fortunate to have an amazing team, and it wouldn’t be the first time we manage to make an impossible deadline.

Can we are help me with software updates and maintenance after implementation?

Yes, we don’t deliver and run! We offer a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which is a fixed monthly cost based on the size of your application. The SLA guarantees full maintenance, including security updates, package updates, hosting management, regular checks and uptime monitoring, and 24/7 urgent issue resolution.

Only need a small update? Also possible! We agree on a number of hours and it’s done.

How is the pricing structured?

For most of our projects, we work with a fixed fee. This way you know exactly how much your project will cost. After our initial meetings, we’ll create a project description that outlines the scope of your project. We’re committed to transparent pricing, with no hidden costs throughout the project. If we’ve made an incorrect estimation, we cover the additional costs. However, if the client requests extra features that were not included in the original scope, the project costs will increase.

The pricing includes development costs, a project management fee, hosting costs during development, potential licenses, the cost of deploying on iOS or Android for mobile applications and a maintenance contract.

As we said before, flexibility is something we value highly. So if you would like an hourly rate, we can make that happen.
