Here's a list of common questions about how we think and work.
At codequest we use a full spectrum of technologies to offer the best tool for the job, whether it is backend, frontend or mobile development.
For web applications, our primary technologies on backend are Ruby on Rails and Node.js powered by our custom framework based on Fastify. For web frontend our top choice is React with TypeScript.
For mobile projects we specialize in native development: Our general approach is to develop apps in Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, but for certain projects where there might be a fit we can also offer multi platform development in React Native.
We work on a Time and Materials based pricing model. This means that our customers pay us by the hour of work spent on the project. The amount of hours in a certain period is equal to the bill that you will be getting from us.
Time and Materials lets us work with a true agile software development approach and it allows for changes and fixes to the scope during the development cycle. This helps us to be flexible and open to insights, data and modifications which in the end run means that the product we deliver is the most optimal solution.
A typical engagement for an MVP starts at around 25.000 USD: Such a budget gives a full-product team of minimum 2 engineers, a project manager, a designer, and a tester 2-3 months time to deliver the first version of your app.
As every project is different the above figure is just an indicator, we encourage you to contact us to get your free estimate!
We take full responsibility for the code that we have written: If a client finds a bug that blocks the product from performing within 3 months of release we will fix it as soon as possible.
The warranty does not include change requests, implementation or modification of features in the app. For projects that have been released we offer a custom maintenance package of a certain amount of hours every month that include bug fixes and changes to the application.
There are three things that we put emphasis on when we communicate our proposition to our clients:
Startups, especially those in the early stage do not need to focus on hiring an own dev team. The effort should be in finding a scalable business model and to find a good product market fit. According to Steve Blank, a startup is “an organization formed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model.” Technology is only a tool used to achieve that.
Other benefits to consider when leaving product design and development with codequest:
The risk that the developer or designer that you hire is a wrong fit is eliminated. We take all the risk to recruit the right people and deliver your product.
Recruitment processes of developers often take time and often there is a shortage of skilled developers available: with us you can start quickly and ramp up the team even quicker to get to market faster.
Over 8 years of experience and work with many startups has given us an edge when it comes to finding the right team to build a fully functioning product. No risk of having idle developers. If you want to ramp down development for a certain period that is fine with us.
