Frequently Asked
Questions
I usually work on a 50/50 model. A 50% deposit is required to commence the project and block out development time, and the final 50% is billed upon project completion and before the final launch or code handover.
While I don't act as a direct hosting provider, we strongly assist our clients in setting up premium, secure cloud hosting (like AWS, Vercel, or Hostinger) and configuring domains under their own ownership for maximum security.
A standard corporate website or e-commerce store typically takes 3 to 4 weeks from concept to launch. More complex bespoke platforms or MERN stack web applications can take 6 to 8 weeks depending on the required logic and features.
I offer up to 3 rounds of design revisions during the UI/UX prototyping phase. I ensure you are 100% satisfied with the visual design before I move into the development and coding phase.
Absolutely. Every digital product I engineer is fully responsive across all devices (mobile, tablet, desktop) and built with a strong technical SEO foundation to ensure maximum visibility on search engines.
