Just before you ask...
If you want to contact us, please consult our frequently asked questions.
How much does it cost to develop an application?
The development cost of any custom software product obviously depends on its overall complexity, given its requirements, risks and specificity. The most important thing is to be sure what to expect from it. If you are not that sure yet, you can ask for our consulting or feasibility study services.
What happens after you finish developing my software?
Our projects always involve the development phase and the following continuative assistance, update and maintenance phase. The latter has indefinite duration and is tacitly renewed yearly, unless you request to interrupt the collaboration.
What infrastructure will my project be deployed on and does your pricing include its costs?
Infrastructure and deployment choices heavily depend on the specific project. We often rely on cloud platforms with on-demand, managed components, but for some minor products we might choose simpler solutions like Virtual Private Servers (VPSs). In most cases, live infrastructure costs are not included in our pricing for the requested work: what is instead included is the set of services regarding deployment, update and configuration operations required for the software execution.
If I ask you to create my blog or e-commerce website, will you also handle content or catalog management?
No. Quite Simple will only be responsible for the technical aspect of the product, but will provide all necessary tools and assistance to let you easily and autonomously manage your own business content on the website.
How will I be charged and billed for your work?
We ask for a down payment at the beginning of the work. Then, depending on the estimated duration of the proposed work, we might either charge monthly amounts until the end of the development for longer projects, or directly ask for settlement of the remaining amount for smaller ones. Billing cycles for the second phase also vary on the project size: we usually prefer yearly billing for smaller projects and 3-monthly billing otherwise.
Are you willing to become my business partners in order to lower your development price?
We are open to new business opportunities when we see real potential. Nevertheless, quality software development requires time and effort. If you really intend to embark on your entrepreneurship journey, you should very seriously evaluate the resources you have before starting anything.
Will the products you develop for me actually belong to me?
The choice is yours to make. In any case, you will be the owner of all data and artifacts generated within the lifetime of the software. Be also aware that explicitly requesting the developed software to be of your property will necessarily require using your own infrastructure and paying its live costs, even for smaller projects.
What happens if I want to stop collaborating with you after you developed my software?
All data and artifacts generated within the lifetime of the software will be returned to you in order to grant continuity in migrating your work towards a new provider; we will also be available to help the third party in the process. Depending on the deal, the source code will either be given to you or remain property of ours.
What if I want to change my project requirements mid-development?
Small changes or additional details are tolerated. Any other request which was not considered at deal signing or might heavily impact the initial project definition or development time (such as new macro-features or a great quantity of minor business or UI requirements) will be considered as a new project.
What if I change my mind mid-development and want to remove features or completely stop the work?
Such a scenario is highly unlikely and should be avoided through initial project analysis. If this happens, we will work with you to understand the need for your request. If the situation proves unavoidable, we will restructure (or end) the working relationship, applying appropriate safeguards for ourselves.
Do you also offer marketing or social media management services?
We do not directly offer those services, but we team-up with trusted professionals who can be integrated into your project, creating an all-around collaboration.
