07 FAQ

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Still wondering about something?

Ask me directly

I work with early-stage founders, growing businesses, professional service firms, NGOs, and product teams. The best fit is a client who values thoughtful design, direct communication, and a quality product over the cheapest possible build.

A focused landing page often takes 2–4 weeks, a multi-page business website 4–7 weeks, and a custom web or mobile product typically 8–16+ weeks. Your proposal will include clear phases and dates based on scope.

Yes. I can lead product strategy, information architecture, UI/UX, prototyping, frontend, backend, integrations, deployment, and post-launch support. That continuity usually creates a more coherent product and a faster feedback loop.

Absolutely. Websites can include an easy CMS, while applications can include an admin dashboard tailored to your workflow. I also provide practical handoff documentation and a walkthrough.

Projects are normally divided into milestone payments, starting with a deposit to reserve the schedule. Larger builds use more milestones so payments follow visible progress. Exact terms are included in the proposal.

Yes. I work remotely and communicate asynchronously with planned calls for decisions, demos, and reviews. The process is designed to work smoothly across time zones.

Every project includes a defined support window for launch-related issues. You then take full ownership and can request focused improvements or maintenance whenever the product needs them.
