Questions
The things people ask before they email.
Why isn't the domain included in the price?
Domain prices vary by extension and registrar. You buy yours on your own account, so it stays yours.
Why isn't hosting included?
Hosting depends on what the project uses. You pay the platform directly on your own account.
Why does AWS deployment cost more than Cloudflare?
AWS deployments often need compute, networking, access controls, databases and monitoring. Cloudflare can be simpler. Both setup fees are separate from platform usage.
Can I host the website myself?
Yes, where the architecture allows it. We will tell you about platform dependencies before you commit and hand over a self-hosted build if agreed.
Can you work on software another developer built?
Yes. We review the codebase before quoting changes and will tell you if replacing it makes more sense.
Why does adding one feature cost several thousand rufiyaa?
Changes to existing software require understanding its code, data and business rules, then testing and releasing the change safely. The final price depends on what it touches.
Is maintenance compulsory?
No. Without maintenance, routine updates, monitoring and support stop. We recommend ongoing care for systems handling payments or customer data.
What counts as maintenance and what counts as a new feature?
Maintenance keeps existing functionality working. New capabilities are features, quoted separately before work begins.
Are AI API costs included?
No. You pay the AI provider directly on your own account, so usage costs stay visible.
Is the estimate a quote?
No. It is an indicative figure. We give you a written quote after reviewing your requirements.
Can you build something completely custom?
Yes, after we review the scope, timeline and fit.
How does payment work?
We agree scope, price and staged payments in writing. Any extra work is quoted before it starts.
Prices are starting estimates. Final pricing depends on confirmed scope and requirements.
