Question 1

Who will I actually be working with?

Accepted Answer

You'll work directly with a senior developer who leads your engagement from start to finish. Currently that's our founder on every project; as we grow, we add senior developers and carefully vetted specialists to support specific work. The senior lead on your engagement remains your primary point of contact and technical decision-maker.

Question 2

Can you take over a codebase another team built?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A significant portion of our work begins this way. We're comfortable walking into messy, undocumented, or half-finished applications and getting them under control.

Question 3

Do you work alongside existing development teams?

Accepted Answer

Often. Sometimes we're the senior support a junior team needs. Sometimes we cover a gap while you hire. Both arrangements work well.

Question 4

Do you take fixed-bid projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, after a paid discovery sprint that properly scopes the work. Fixed bids on vague requirements are how everyone ends up unhappy. The discovery cost rolls into the project if we move forward.

Question 5

What if our code is in rough shape?

Accepted Answer

That's genuinely fine. Modernizing inherited Laravel and PHP codebases is one of our specialties.

Question 6

Are you available for full-time contract work?

Accepted Answer

No. We work with multiple clients on a retainer model. It's deliberate. It's how clients access senior development capacity without the cost of a full-time hire.

Question 7

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Wilmington, NC and work 8:00am – 4:00pm ET. We're responsive during business hours and don't disappear for stretches at a time.
