Common Questions

FAQ

Everything you need to know about working together

How long does a typical project take?
Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Simple websites typically take 2-4 weeks, while full-featured web applications can take 2-3 months. During our discovery call, I'll provide a realistic timeline based on your specific requirements.
How much does it cost?
Every project is unique, so I provide custom quotes based on scope, features, and timeline. I work with a range of budgets and can often suggest phased approaches to fit your constraints. Let's discuss your project to get an accurate estimate.
What's your payment structure?
I require 50% upfront before any work begins, with the remaining 50% due upon completion. This is a non-negotiable standard that protects both of us: you're never fully committed until you see results, and I'm compensated for my time and expertise. For larger projects, we can arrange milestone-based payments, but the upfront deposit remains firm. This professional boundary ensures I can dedicate my full focus to your project. For international clients, I also accept crypto payments (BTC, ETH, USDT) for added convenience.
What if I need changes after launch?
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support for bug fixes and minor adjustments at no extra cost. For ongoing maintenance or new feature development, we can discuss a retainer arrangement or project-based pricing.
Do you work with international clients?
Absolutely! I work remotely with clients worldwide. I'm flexible with time zones and use async communication tools (email, Slack, Loom) to keep projects moving regardless of location. Regular video calls ensure we stay aligned.
What technologies do you use?
I specialize in modern web technologies: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL for most projects. For specific needs, I also work with GraphQL, MongoDB, and various cloud platforms (AWS, Vercel, Supabase). I choose the best stack for your project's requirements.
How do we communicate during the project?
I believe in proactive, transparent communication. You'll receive regular updates (typically weekly) with progress demos. I'm available via email, Slack, or your preferred platform for questions. We'll have scheduled check-ins to review progress and gather feedback.
What if I'm not satisfied with the work?
Your satisfaction is my priority. I share progress frequently so we can course-correct early. Revisions are built into the process, and I won't consider a project complete until you're happy with the result. The milestone payment structure also ensures you're never fully committed until you see results.
