FAQ

Questions clients ask us.

What kind of software do you build?
Websites and web apps, iOS and Android apps, SaaS products, client portals and custom business systems, plus AI chatbots and workflow automation that plug into the tools you already use.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on the scope. After a short free call we send a fixed quote with clear milestones, so you know the full cost before any work starts. Many small projects start from a few thousand pounds, and larger platforms are quoted in phases.
How long will it take?
A business website usually takes a few weeks. Web apps and mobile apps are delivered in phases, with a working build to review every week. A focused MVP often takes around six weeks.
Can you add AI to our existing software?
Yes. We can connect chatbots, document reading, smart reports and automated workflows to your current website, CRM or back-office tools without replacing what already works.
Will I own the code?
Yes. When the project is paid for, the code and designs are yours. We hand over clean, documented source code and can keep hosting and maintaining it for you if you prefer.
Do you handle UK GDPR and data security?
We build with privacy and security in mind from day one: encryption, secure logins, role-based access and sensible data retention. We can also advise on what you need to document for UK GDPR.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. We offer training for your team and flexible support plans covering updates, fixes, hosting and new features.
Can we meet in person?
Of course. Our office is in Bolton, Greater Manchester, and we are happy to meet locally. We also work with clients across the UK and abroad by video call.
