Estimation accuracy ranges from 90% to 100%. For certain features, to avoid discrepancies between your expectations and the actual result, we offer to create an interactive prototype, similar to this examples:
Wireframes and detailed project descriptions provided by the client are essential for faster project evaluation. They offer a clear visual representation of the project's layout and functionalities, and the descriptions help in understanding the project's scope and requirements.

This estimate includes all the details about what the project will do and how it will be done, split into different stages. Each stage has a description of the work, deadlines, and costs.
Changes and Additions: If you decide to change or add something to the project after we start, all changes / additions will be formalized in a new technical specification and included as an additional assessment to the main development. The impact on the implementation time and overall cost of the project will also be indicated in the additional estimation.
Payments: The first payment is due upon mutual consent of the parties of the custom development. The amount of the first payment is equal to the subtotal amount of the 1st stage of development and is paid in full (100%). Further stages are developed on the same prepayment basis. You can place separate orders for each stage, no matter how small, or order several small projects at once to avoid delays in the development process.
Project Stages: The project is being implemented in stages, which means that you can see the first results of the development within the implementation period of the 1st stage (which for most projects is usually 1-2 working weeks). Each stage can be tested by our internal tester to ensure proper performance under stated conditions and accuracy of the work performed for an additional fee. Development progress is tracked by both parties using tools such as Jira Cloud. Our company takes care of setting up the tools for the job.
Warranty Period: You have 7 days to check the project after we deliver it, so any errors you find will be fixed.
Warranty Exclusions: The warranty doesn't cover errors caused by third-party changes to the code or changes in the technical environment needed for the software.
