FAQ

Questions clients ask us

How do you find time for my project?+

We take on a small number of projects at a time and commit to fixed weekly hours, demos and response times, so you always know what's happening and when.

Do you work with early-stage startups or only large companies?+

Both. Most of our freelance clients are startups and SMBs who want big-tech quality without hiring a big-tech team.

How do you price projects?+

Usually a fixed price per milestone after the discovery call. For ongoing work we offer a monthly retainer.

Who owns the code?+

You do, fully. The code lives in your repositories and cloud accounts from day one.

Can you take over or fix an existing codebase?+

Yes. We often start with a 1-week audit and give you a prioritised plan before we touch anything.

Is there an NDA?+

Yes. We are happy to sign your NDA before the first call.
