Clear answers to common questions

Everything you need to know about working with us, intellectual property, timelines, and guarantees.

How long does it take to build a website or web app?+

Most custom business websites launch in a structured 3–6 week sprint. Complex web applications, customer portals, or bespoke AI integrations typically take 6–8 weeks. We provide a guaranteed milestone schedule before work begins.

What technologies and platforms do you build with?+

We don't force a one-size-fits-all stack. Depending on your business goals, team workflow, and scalability needs, we architect with the best tool for the job — whether that's modern custom React, Next.js, Laravel, custom headless or optimized WordPress, or Shopify. Every build is clean, fast, secure, and built without fragile template bloat.

Do you work with businesses outside Vancouver?+

Yes. While our headquarters and engineering team are in Vancouver, BC, we partner with ambitious companies across British Columbia, Canada, the United States, and internationally.

Will our website actually rank on Google and AI search engines?+

Yes. Every project includes technical SEO from line one: valid JSON-LD schema markup, canonical structures, sub-second Core Web Vitals, and semantic entity hierarchies designed for both Google and modern AI answer engines like Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.

What kind of practical AI can you integrate into our business?+

We build custom AI chat assistants trained strictly on your proprietary data, automated lead qualification pipelines, document summarizers, automated customer intake workflows, and internal AI tools connected directly to your CRM or ERP via secure APIs.

Who owns the code and intellectual property once the project is finished?+

You do. 100%. Upon completion, full copyright and complete source code repositories are transferred to your company. There are zero licensing lock-ins or proprietary hostage fees.

Can my team edit content without knowing how to code?+

Absolutely. We configure an intuitive, headless CMS or custom management dashboard tailored to your team's workflow, complete with a video walkthrough and step-by-step documentation.

What support and maintenance do you offer after launch?+

We offer dedicated post-launch care packages that cover continuous security patches, uptime monitoring, monthly SEO optimizations, conversion rate testing, and feature enhancements so your digital presence compounds in value over time.
