Our MVP Build Sprints range from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on complexity and features. Simple projects take 2-3 weeks, complex ones 4-6 weeks. Get an instant estimate with our free Blueprint Generator.

How long does it take to build a web app?

Most MVPs can be built in 2-6 weeks. We start with a Paid Kickoff session ($500) to validate scope, then move into a focused Build Sprint. This approach ensures you get to market fast with a working product.

Do you build Shopify stores?

Yes, we specialize in Shopify and Shopify Plus development. From custom themes to complex integrations with inventory, subscriptions, and multi-currency support. Typical e-commerce projects take 4-8 weeks.

What technologies do you use?

We specialize in modern tech stacks: Next.js and React for web apps, React Native and Flutter for mobile, Shopify for e-commerce, Firebase and AWS for backend, and OpenAI for AI integrations.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes, our Monthly Retainer plans ($3,000-$8,000/month) include ongoing development, maintenance, and support. You get dedicated dev hours, priority support, and weekly progress updates.

What is a Paid Kickoff session?

A Paid Kickoff ($500) is a 2-hour strategy session where we validate your idea, define MVP scope, recommend the right tech stack, and create a clear project roadmap. You get a written brief, architecture diagram, and actionable next steps.

Can you build mobile apps for iOS and Android?

Yes, we build cross-platform mobile apps using React Native and Flutter. This approach lets you launch on both iOS and Android from a single codebase, reducing time and cost while maintaining native performance.

Do you work with startups or enterprises?

Both! We work with early-stage startups building their first MVP, as well as established companies needing new features or digital transformation. Our engagement models scale from $500 kickoffs to ongoing retainers.

What is your development process?

We follow an agile sprint-based approach: 1) Discovery & Planning, 2) Design & Prototyping, 3) Development in 1-2 week sprints, 4) Testing & QA, 5) Deployment & Launch. You get weekly updates and can provide feedback throughout.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, for larger projects we offer milestone-based payments. Typically 30% upfront, 40% at midpoint, and 30% on delivery. This protects both parties and ensures aligned incentives throughout the project.

What if I need changes after launch?

All Build Sprints include a 30-day bug fix guarantee. For feature changes and ongoing development, we offer Monthly Retainer plans. You can also request one-off changes at our hourly rate.

How do I get started?

Three ways: 1) Generate a free MVP Blueprint to get instant recommendations, 2) Book a free 30-minute consultation call, or 3) Start with a Paid Kickoff for a deep-dive strategy session.

Building a Scalable Shopify App

Introduction to Shopify App Development

Shopify's app ecosystem offers tremendous opportunities for developers. With over 2 million merchants on the platform, a well-built app can generate significant revenue.

Architecture Considerations

Authentication

Shopify uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Implement proper token management and refresh logic.

Webhooks

Use webhooks to respond to events in merchants' stores instead of polling the API.

Rate Limiting

Shopify's API has rate limits. Implement proper queuing and backoff strategies.

Tech Stack Recommendations

Node.js with Express or Next.js
PostgreSQL for relational data
Redis for caching and queues
GraphQL for efficient API queries

Scaling Strategies

Database Optimization

Use proper indexing, query optimization, and consider read replicas for heavy read workloads.

Caching

Cache frequently accessed data like shop information and product details.

Background Jobs

Process heavy operations asynchronously using job queues.

Monetization

Consider these pricing models:

Free with premium features
Usage-based pricing
Tiered plans based on store size

Conclusion

Building a successful Shopify app requires careful planning, solid architecture, and a focus on merchant value. Start small, iterate based on feedback, and scale as you grow.
