FAQ

Questions we often hear.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

Business and real-estate websites, iOS and Android apps, custom web apps and SaaS platforms, e-commerce, cloud and DevOps, advanced search, CRM and WhatsApp integrations, AI chatbots, and SEO and performance work.

How long does a typical website take?

Most business websites take 3 to 6 weeks. Larger platforms with search or integrations take longer; we give a firm timeline after the discovery call.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. We have served clients across four continents for eight years and work across time zones, with a dedicated global client lead.

Will my site rank on Google?

We build SEO into every project: clean structure, schema markup, fast load times and mobile optimisation. Rankings also depend on content and competition, so we advise on both.

Do you provide support after launch?

Yes. We offer maintenance, monitoring and feature updates after go-live.
