FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
No fluff, no marketing speak. Here is exactly how it works.
Working With MGT
How does your pricing work?
Fixed-price tiers: Starter ($500-$2K), Professional ($2K-$6K), Platform ($6K-$15K). No hourly billing. The price is locked before work begins. You know the exact number before a single line of code is written.
How long does a typical project take?
1-8 weeks depending on scope. Starter projects ship in 1-2 weeks. Professional in 2-4 weeks. Platform in 4-8 weeks. You get daily preview links throughout, so you're never waiting in the dark.
What's your process?
Four steps: a 30-minute call to understand what you need, a one-page scope doc that locks in deliverables and price, daily preview links so you see working software at every stage, then ship with 30 days of post-launch support included. Full breakdown on the services page.
Do you work with teams or is it just you?
Solo developer. This is intentional. Zero handoffs, zero context loss, zero communication overhead. 13 production apps shipped this way. You talk directly to the person building your product.
What happens if I don't like the result?
Every tier includes revisions. Feedback is built into the process through daily preview links. You see working software, not mockups, so issues surface early and get fixed before they compound.
What if the scope changes mid-project?
It happens. I handle scope changes transparently. If new requirements add significant work, I'll quote the delta before writing a line of code. Small tweaks within reason are part of the process. No surprise invoices.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. I'm happy to sign an NDA before our first call if your project requires it. I've worked with clients in real estate, fintech, and gaming where confidentiality matters.
Technical
What tech stack do you use?
Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Discord.js, Node.js, FastAPI, Python. The stack is chosen per project based on what fits, not what's trendy.
Do you handle hosting and deployment?
Yes. Vercel for web apps, Railway or Fly.io for backend services. Deployment is included in the project price. Your domain, your infrastructure, your ownership.
Can you work with my existing codebase?
Yes, but I charge for an initial code audit. If the codebase is solid, I build on top of it. If it's not, I'll recommend the most cost-effective path forward and let you decide.
Do you build mobile apps?
React Native for cross-platform mobile. If you need native iOS or Android specifically, I'll scope it separately and give you an honest assessment of whether that's the right call for your use case.
What's your testing approach?
Every project gets automated tests. I use Playwright for end-to-end, pytest for Python backends, and vitest for React components. 3,400+ tests across the MGT ecosystem. Tests catch bugs before your users do.
Can you handle high-traffic applications?
Yes. I build on Vercel's edge network with CDN caching, database connection pooling, and rate limiting. The stack handles scale. If your project needs specific load requirements, I'll architect for that from day one.
Business
What's included in post-launch support?
30-60 days depending on bundle. Bug fixes, performance tuning, and feature tweaks. After the support period ends, hourly maintenance is available if you need ongoing work.
Do you offer retainer agreements?
Yes. Monthly retainer for ongoing development, priority support, and guaranteed availability. Contact me directly to discuss what that looks like for your situation.
How do I get started?
Book a call or use the instant estimate tool. The call is 30 minutes and free. The estimate tool gives you a ballpark range immediately without any back-and-forth.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
Every project includes revision rounds built into the price. If something isn't right, we fix it. I've never had a client walk away unhappy because I don't ship until it's right.
Do you offer payment plans?
For projects over $5K, I offer a 50/50 split: half upfront to start, half on delivery. For larger platform builds, we can discuss milestone-based payments. No hourly billing, no surprise costs.
Still have questions?
The fastest way to get an answer is a 30-minute call. No commitment, no sales pitch.
