Offshore team questions, answered.
Pricing, payments, timelines, time zones, ownership and support: what clients ask before they hire us, answered plainly.
It depends on the scope, so we don’t publish fixed prices. You tell us what you need and we send a written quote with the scope and timeline before any work starts. The agreed price only changes if the scope does, and any major change is quoted separately first.
We take 50% before work starts and 50% on delivery. You can pay by bank transfer or Payoneer, or hire us through Fiverr if you prefer its buyer protection.
Most websites launch in under three weeks, and a typical web app takes about four weeks. Moodle work, large stores and multi-part platforms are planned per project. Your written quote states the timeline for your scope.
We’re in Islamabad, Pakistan (GMT+5), and work with clients in 20+ countries. We’re available 9am to 1am Pakistan time, which covers the full UK and European workday, the US East Coast until mid-afternoon and US West Coast mornings. The overlap shifts slightly with daylight saving.
Long projects, usually 30 days or more, run in a shared Slack channel. Shorter ones run on WhatsApp, email, Zoom or Google Meet, whichever you prefer.
We read it, ask anything we need to know and, if you’d like, talk it through on a video call. Then we send a written quote with the scope and timeline. Work starts once you approve it and the first payment is made.
Most of your time goes into the start: explaining your goals, then approving the scope and the designs. During the build we share progress and ask for quick decisions when they matter.

Yes. Our Fiverr profile is rated 4.9/5.0 from 63 reviews. You can also work with us directly; it is the same team either way.
Yes. Once the project is paid in full, the final deliverables, source code and design files are yours. Third-party licenses, such as paid plugins or fonts, stay with their providers.

Every project includes one month of bug fixes and minor changes. Major changes are quoted separately. After that, a monthly care plan covers updates, backups, monitoring and dedicated developer hours.
Most websites launch in under three weeks. A simple marketing site can take about a week, while large stores and custom builds take longer. Your written quote includes the timeline for your exact scope, so you know the launch date before work starts.
Choose WordPress if your team wants a familiar editor and plugins. Choose Next.js for a custom, fast or animated site, or a store with its own admin panel. Headless WordPress gives you both: the WordPress editor with a Next.js front end. We recommend one after the first call.
It depends on the pages, features and platform, so we don’t publish fixed prices. Tell us about the project and we send a written quote with the scope and timeline before any work starts.
Yes. We keep what works, rebuild the rest and keep your URLs or redirect them, so the redesign doesn’t cost you the search rankings you already have.

Yes. We audit your plugins and theme, rehearse the upgrade on a staging copy, fix what breaks, then upgrade the live site with a rollback plan. Moodle 5.0 security support ended on October 5, 2026, so sites still on 5.0 should move now; Moodle 5.3 LTS is supported until October 2029.
