How much does a custom software project cost?
Most projects we take on land between $4,000 and $40,000. A simple booking system or a website refresh tends to be on the lower end; a multi-tenant portal or a modernization of a legacy desktop system tends to be higher.
Every project is written up as a fixed-price scope with a clear deliverable list. No mystery hourly bills.
How long will my project take?
A small project (a focused web app, a booking integration, a script suite) is usually 2–6 weeks from kickoff to launch.
A larger custom build (a portal, a mobile app, a modernization) is usually 8–16 weeks.
Whatever the timeline is, we commit to it in the written proposal — not "we'll see how it goes."
Will I own the code?
Yes. By default you own everything we build for you — source code, designs, content, and access to all systems. We don't lock you in.
If we ever stop working together, you have everything you need to take it elsewhere or hire someone else to maintain it.
Do you do ongoing support and maintenance?
Yes. Every project includes 90 days of post-launch support at no extra cost.
After that, you can pay-as-you-go for tweaks, or sign a small monthly retainer for proactive maintenance, security patches, and minor improvements.
Most clients pick the retainer once they have real users on the software.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes — happy to. We have a mutual NDA ready to go, or we'll sign yours after a quick review.
Either way, conversation contents are confidential by default; the NDA just puts it in writing.
Do you take equity instead of cash?
On the right project, sometimes. If you're an early-stage founder with a strong idea and a clear path to revenue, we'll consider a mix of cash and equity.
We don't do equity-only on speculative ideas — the work is too valuable to give away.
What if I already started building it?
No problem. We pick up half-finished projects all the time — work the original developer started, vibe-coded prototypes, or in-house attempts that ran out of steam.
Step one is always a code review and an honest read on what's salvageable. Sometimes we extend what's there; sometimes the cleanest path is a focused rebuild. We'll tell you which.
Do you only do web, or do you do mobile and desktop too?
All of the above. Web apps, native iOS (Swift), native Android (Kotlin), cross-platform mobile (React Native, Flutter), Windows desktop (.NET, WPF), macOS (Swift, AppKit), Linux server-side, and shell scripting / automation.
We pick the platform that fits the problem, not the other way around.
What about hurricane season?
We live here. We plan launches around storm season, host on infrastructure that doesn't go down when Fort Myers loses power, and build software designed to keep running even if your office is offline for a week.
If a storm is coming during your project, we'll talk about it openly and adjust the timeline if it makes sense. We don't pretend September doesn't exist.
What's the first step?
A free 30-minute consultation. In person if you're in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, or anywhere in between; otherwise by video call.
We listen to the problem first, then talk about whether software is the right answer and what shape it should take. No pressure, no sales pitch.
