How we work

FAQ
Process questions.
How long does web app development take?
MVPs typically take 4-8 weeks. Full products range from 2-4 months. We break projects into sprints and deliver working features every 2 weeks, so you see progress continuously.
Do you provide website maintenance and support after launch?
Yes! We offer 30 days of included bug fixes post-launch. After that, you can choose monthly maintenance packages or on-demand support. We also offer growth partnerships where we continue building as your product evolves.
How do you handle scope changes during a development project?
Changes are normal! We use agile development, so you can adjust priorities between sprints. Major scope changes might affect timeline and cost, which we'll discuss transparently before proceeding.
Will your development agency sign an NDA?
Yes, absolutely. We're happy to sign your NDA before any detailed discussions. Your intellectual property and ideas are protected throughout our engagement.
Do you work with clients outside Nepal?
Most of our work is remote. We're in Kathmandu (GMT+5:45), which overlaps comfortably with India, the Gulf and Europe and leaves a usable window with the US. We work over video calls, WhatsApp and email, share a live preview link every sprint, and reply within 24 hours.
