FAQ
Before you ask
What is the smallest project you take?
A two-week sprint is the floor. Below that you usually need a conversation rather than a project — we will say so, and the 90-minute focus session is free either way.
Do estimates overrun?
Fixed scope, fixed price. If the scope changes, you get a new price and schedule before any work starts. We do not build first and discuss money later.
Who owns the code?
You do. At the end, source, Cloudflare account, domain and third-party services all transfer to your ownership. We leave no technical lock-in behind.
Can you work with our existing engineers?
Yes, and we prefer it. We use your review process and branching strategy rather than introducing a parallel one.
How do time zones work?
The studio is in Taipei. Full overlap with Tokyo, near-full with Singapore and Sydney. For European and North American clients we hold a fixed morning window for synchronous calls.
Contracts and invoicing?
A Taiwanese company invoicing in USD, JPY or TWD, under a standard commercial agreement. Quarterly billing available on retainers.
Why are there no prices on the site?
Because two things both called "a website" can differ by a factor of ten in actual scope. Publishing a number persuades half the readers it is too expensive and the other half that it is cheap, and both conversations then have to start over. The proposal carries an exact figure, and that figure does not move.
What do you build on?
Most projects run on Cloudflare Workers and D1, with React or plain server-rendered HTML depending on the page. Every technology choice is written into the proposal with its reasoning, and if you already have an internal standard we work to yours.
Can we stop partway through?
Yes. There is a working version every two weeks, so every two-week boundary is a clean exit: you keep everything built to that point, including source, and owe nothing for the remainder. It is written into the contract rather than offered as goodwill.
What happens if something breaks after launch?
Project delivery includes a three-month warranty: defects in code we wrote are fixed at no charge. After that you can move to a retainer or not — the system is built to run without us, which is the point.
Can you do the design and leave the build to us?
Yes, with one condition: a weekly working session during implementation. Design-only handovers start drifting from the intended result around week three, and by the time anyone looks back it is expensive to correct.
We already have designers
Better. One of our most common arrangements is supplying the engineering and systematisation alongside an in-house design team, so your designers stop spending afternoons arguing about which blue the button is.
Will we be able to edit the site ourselves?
Yes — it is an acceptance criterion. Copy, case studies and service descriptions all live in a back office, needing neither an engineer nor a deployment. At handover we sit with your team while they make a real change and publish it.
How many projects do you run at once?
Two at most. That is the only way we can keep showing you something every week, and it is why the calendar usually has a queue.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, and we are happy to use your paper. Separately: nothing about your project goes on our work page without your written agreement, quotes included — we send you the exact wording to approve before anything is published.
We have no technical background. Is that a problem?
No. Our proposals avoid technical vocabulary and describe decisions as what they will cost or save you later. What we ask you to judge is always a trade-off, never a technology.
You will hear back within two working days, from the person who would do the work.
