Web & App Development FAQs
Custom websites, PWAs, and enterprise mobile applications.
The timeline for building a custom web application typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project. A basic corporate website or landing page might take 2-4 weeks, while a full-fledged enterprise SaaS platform with custom authentication, databases, and third-party integrations (like M-Pesa or KRA eTIMS) can take 8-12 weeks. We follow an agile process, providing you with weekly demos on a staging URL so you can see progress in real-time.
