How much does custom software development cost?

Our services are sold on a per-hour basis, we will work within your budget. There is no minimum amount required to purchase, some of our customers only use a couple of hours a year, others use hundreds of hours a month. Our hourly rates are typically higher than using offshore developers, but the benefit of fast turn around times and working in the same timezone out way the extra cost.

Are we locked in to a single software vendor?

Certainly not. We use the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) software platform, which is open source and widely used. If you wish to take your application to another developer, or host it yourself, you are free to do so. We will even help you get set up on your new host.
