We sign NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements as required by the client. All our employees work for us full-time and are bound by company Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure clauses. Additionally, for sensitive projects, we can sign custom NDAs.

We evaluate the results regularly, we test our work (we do both development and acceptance testing), we present it to you, we ask for customer feedback, so the customer knows what they need. They are getting what they are paying for. Also, we have constant communication with the client, so that there are no surprises and we proceed with development only after the client's approval.

Since the project (website/application/CRM) is developed individually for each client, we treat each job as their own. So, if the customer wants to take control and manage it themselves, we have no objection to doing so. However, in some cases where the application is developed using proprietary code, payment terms may vary on a case-by-case basis.

Our project management process covers everything from inception to successful completion of the project. We first understand the requirements and plan based on them, prioritize the tasks and start the execution with a well-structured process flow. During the execution, we make sure to track and monitor the progress of the project and during the final phase, we make sure to troubleshoot, test and deliver it with the final report of the project.

We set up a dedicated team for every project that consists of project manager/account manager, developers, UI/UX designers, QAs and business analysts. The team always keeps you in the communication channel and updates you about the progress of your project. Since you are the owner of the project, we assign full rights of the project to you only with mutual consent.
