Frequently asked questions

Common questions about custom software development.

What tech stack do you use for custom software?

We primarily use Python/Django for backends, React or Next.js for frontends, PostgreSQL for data, and Docker for deployment. We select the stack based on your team's skills and long-term scaling needs.

How long does a custom software project take?

MVPs typically ship in 8–12 weeks. Larger enterprise systems are delivered in phased releases over 3–12 months depending on scope.

Do we own the source code?

Yes. Upon project completion and payment, you receive full ownership of all custom code, documentation, and deployment assets.
