Practical answers before we begin.
A starting point for the questions businesses ask before commissioning custom software.
Project questions, answered.
Clear guidance on project scope, timelines, existing systems, ownership and post-launch support.
01How much does custom software cost?
Every project is scoped individually based on its requirements, complexity, integrations and business goals. Focused automation and smaller engagements may start from around $750, while custom software, mobile applications and larger web platforms typically begin from higher starting points. We provide a clear estimate after understanding the problem and required outcome.
02How long does a typical project take?
A focused automation or internal tool may take a few weeks. Larger applications and platforms are usually delivered in phases over several months. Every proposal includes a realistic timeline, milestones and expected delivery plan before development begins.
03Can VuurenDev work with an existing application or codebase?
Yes. We can assess an existing system, improve specific areas, add features, integrate new services or plan a careful modernisation. The first step is a technical review so we can understand the existing codebase and recommend the safest approach.
04Do you work with international clients?
Yes. VuurenDev is structured for global remote delivery, with clear written communication, scheduled project touchpoints and a workflow designed to work effectively across time zones.
05Who owns the source code after the project?
Ownership and usage rights are defined clearly in the project proposal and client agreement. For standard client-funded custom development, our usual approach is for the client to receive ownership of the agreed custom project deliverables once all applicable project payments and contractual requirements have been completed. Any third-party libraries, open-source software, pre-existing VuurenDev components or separately licensed technology remain subject to their respective licences or agreement terms.
06Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. Post-launch support can be arranged depending on the project and may include maintenance, bug fixes, updates, deployment assistance and future improvements. The exact support arrangement is agreed separately according to the software and the client's requirements.
