Common Questions

How much does a small business website cost?

Most small business websites fall in the $3,000–$15,000 range. A clean 5–7 page site with booking and local SEO runs $3,500–$6,000. A larger site with integrations or a members area is $10,000–$25,000. Custom web applications start around $15,000 and go up from there. We quote fixed price after a free 30-minute call — no mystery hours.

How much does custom software development cost?

A custom web application typically runs $15,000–$60,000 for a focused MVP, and $60,000–$150,000+ for larger enterprise builds. The honest answer depends on scope: number of user roles, integrations, complexity of business logic. We give fixed-price estimates, not hourly guesses.

How long does a typical project take?

A simple website ships in 2–4 weeks. A larger site with integrations takes 4–8 weeks. Custom web applications usually take 6–12 weeks for a focused first release. Workforce and automation projects are often 6–10 weeks because we build on top of MyShiftHub, which has the foundation already done. You'll get a detailed timeline in your proposal.

Do you work with clients outside Illinois?

Yes. We're based in Yorkville, IL and physically close to clients in Aurora, Naperville, Oswego, and the Chicago western suburbs, but most of our engagements are remote-friendly. We work with clients nationwide and handle communication through video, shared docs, and scheduled check-ins.

Do you build mobile apps?

We specialize in progressive web apps (PWAs) that work like native apps on iOS and Android but don't require App Store approval — which means faster launches and easier updates. For true native mobile apps (Swift/Kotlin), we partner with native shops when the project genuinely needs it.

Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. API and system integration is one of our core specialties. We've connected to government APIs (DOL.gov), payroll systems (QuickBooks, ADP, Gusto), CRMs, accounting platforms, and proprietary legacy systems. If your tool has an API — or even just an export function — we can work with it.

What technologies do you use?

React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Firebase, and PostgreSQL are our daily drivers. We choose the stack based on project needs, not personal preference. Hosting is typically on Firebase, Vercel, or AWS depending on the workload.

Do you provide ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Most clients stay on a monthly care plan that covers hosting, backups, security monitoring, minor content updates, and a response-time guarantee for issues. Care plans start at $149/month and scale with your site.

Who owns the code you build?

You do. Code, data, and credentials are yours. We document everything so you're never locked in. For enterprise engagements we can transfer the source repo to your team; most clients prefer the managed model but the option is real either way.

Can you help with SEO too?

Yes, and it's built into every website we ship — technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and Google Business Profile setup are standard, not add-ons. For ongoing content, link building, and rank tracking, we offer SEO care plans with clear monthly reporting (not black-box "we did SEO stuff" invoicing).

What if I already have a website?

We can rebuild from scratch, or fix what you have — speed tuning, SEO cleanup, design refresh, adding booking or automation. We'll audit honestly and tell you which path is smarter. Sometimes patching is the right call; sometimes starting over actually saves money.

Do you sign NDAs?

Happily. Send your NDA before the discovery call and we'll sign before discussing anything confidential.
