FAQ
Common questions about apps & portals.
How much does a custom app or portal cost?
It depends entirely on scope — a simple client login portal is a different project than a multi-role system with integrations. I scope the smallest version that solves your actual problem first, then quote from there.
Can you connect it to my existing software?
In most cases, yes — I ask about your existing systems early since integration work is often the biggest driver of cost and timeline. Some integrations take a few hours, others take much longer, so I want to know upfront.
Do I need a custom app, or would an off-the-shelf tool work?
Off-the-shelf tools are often the right call for standard needs, and I'll tell you that if it's true rather than upselling a custom build you don't need. Custom development makes sense when your workflow genuinely doesn't fit existing tools.
How long does a custom portal take to build?
A focused first version usually takes several weeks to a couple months, depending on integrations and the number of user roles involved. I'd rather launch something smaller and useful sooner than a sprawling spec that takes six months.
Who maintains the app after it's built?
I do — ongoing support and updates are part of how I work with app clients, not a handoff to a separate team. You're talking to the same person who built it if anything needs to change.
Can we add features later?
Yes, and I usually recommend it — launching a focused first version and adding features once you know how people actually use it beats trying to build everything upfront.
