A note from the founder
I've spent fifteen years on every side of software: building platforms for companies across different sectors, running engineering for startups, and teaching complete beginners to write — and ship — their first line of code.
The pattern I see most is good ideas sunk by fuzzy scope and open-ended invoices. So the studio works differently: we plan properly, price it up front, and ship on the date we agreed.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Why fixed prices instead of hourly?
You know the full cost before we start. If something takes us longer than planned, that's our problem, not yours. Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted in writing before any work starts.
Do you work with clients outside Zambia?
Yes. We work with clients worldwide, mostly async with scheduled calls. Invoices are payable by card or bank transfer in USD, GBP or EUR.
How do payments work?
Packages under $1,000 are paid 100% upfront. Larger packages are 50% to start and 50% before launch. MVPs are paid in 3 milestones.
I don't know which package I need.
Book a free 20-minute fit call and we'll point you to the right one. For anything bigger than a website, start with a Project Blueprint.
Who owns the code?
You do, once final payment clears. Code, designs and documentation are handed over in full.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes a fixes window. After that, an optional monthly care plan keeps things updated, backed up and secure.
