GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you
take the leap.

Can you build any app for £500?+

No. £500 is the starting point for a tightly scoped MVP with one core function. We’ll tell you what fits, what needs a larger package and what can wait for a later phase.

Is this a working app or just a design?+

The agreed deliverable is a functional first version, not only static screens. The exact platform, features, backend and handover are defined before work begins.

Will I own my app?+

You receive the project source code after final payment. Any third-party components remain subject to their own licences, which are identified during handover.

Can I add features later?+

Yes. We can quote separately for additional features, integrations and ongoing support as your product grows.

How quickly can I launch?+

Starter projects target 7–14 days after scope approval and receipt of required content and access. Complex features and app store review can take longer. Your quote confirms the delivery plan.
