How long does it take to complete a project?
Project timelines vary depending on complexity and scope. Here are some general estimates:
- Simple landing pages: 1-2 weeks
- Personal/small business websites: 2-4 weeks
- Custom web applications: 1-3 months
- Complex enterprise solutions: 3+ months
During our initial consultation, I'll provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific requirements. I always aim to be transparent about delivery dates and will keep you updated throughout the process.
How do you handle communication during the project?
Clear communication is essential for project success. Throughout our work together, you can expect:
- Regular progress updates (typically weekly)
- Scheduled video calls to discuss milestones
- Email updates and documentation
- Shared project management tools for tracking progress
- Quick responses to questions (within 24 hours)
I adapt my communication style to your preferences and time zone to ensure a smooth collaborative process.
Pricing & Payment
How do you structure your pricing?
I offer flexible pricing options to accommodate different project needs:
- Fixed-price packages: Pre-defined scopes with clear deliverables and pricing.
- Project-based quotes: Custom pricing based on detailed requirements.
- Hourly rates: For ongoing development, maintenance, or smaller tasks.
For transparency, all pricing discussions happen upfront before any work begins, and there are no hidden fees or surprises.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept various payment methods to provide flexibility:
- Bank transfers
- PayPal
- Credit/debit cards
- Other payment methods can be discussed as needed
For larger projects, I typically use a milestone-based payment schedule, where payments are tied to completed deliverables.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
Yes, I typically require a 50% deposit before beginning work on any project. This helps to:
- Secure your place in my development schedule
- Cover initial setup and planning costs
- Establish a mutual commitment to the project
The remaining balance is usually due upon project completion or split into milestone payments for larger projects. For long-term engagements, we can arrange monthly billing cycles.
Support & Maintenance
What happens if I encounter issues after launch?
All projects come with a 30-day warranty period after launch, during which I'll address any bugs or issues at no additional cost. This includes:
- Fixing functional bugs that prevent features from working as intended
- Resolving display issues across supported browsers and devices
- Addressing any security vulnerabilities
For ongoing support beyond the warranty period, I offer maintenance packages or hourly support as needed. This ensures your application continues to function optimally long after the initial launch.
How quickly do you respond to support requests?
My standard response times for support requests are:
- Critical issues (site down, security breaches): Within 4 hours
- High priority issues (major functionality broken): Within 12 hours
- Normal requests (bugs, questions, minor issues): Within 24 hours
- Feature requests: Within 48 hours with timeline estimates
Clients with maintenance packages receive priority support with faster response times. All times are based on business days (Monday-Friday).
Do you provide training on how to use my application?
Yes, I provide comprehensive training to ensure you and your team can effectively use and manage your application. Training options include:
- Live video training sessions
- Written documentation and user guides
- Recorded video tutorials for future reference

Basic training is included with all custom development projects. More extensive training sessions can be arranged based on your needs.
