What determines the price?
Scope & features
The more screens, user roles and functionality, the more work. We split big ideas into manageable phases.
Integrations & APIs
Connecting to your accounting, CRM or other systems via APIs takes extra work — but saves you a lot of time later.
Design & customisation
A fully custom-designed interface costs more than a clean, minimal template — but makes you stand out.
Maintenance & growth
Expect around 15–20% of the build cost per year for hosting, maintenance and updates. We discuss this upfront.
