FAQ
Common questions
Should we build a custom platform or use an existing tool?
If an existing tool fits your process, start there. Custom makes sense when your marketplace or booking rules are what make you different, or when workarounds cost you time and customers. Our guide to custom vs off-the-shelf walks through the decision.
Can our team manage the platform without developers?
Yes. We build an admin panel or CMS alongside the platform, as we did for Octi, so your team can manage listings, content, and users themselves.
Can the web platform and a mobile app share the same data?
Yes. We design one backend and API that both the website and the apps use, so customers see the same information everywhere.
Can you take over an existing web application?
Yes. We review the current code and hosting first and tell you honestly whether to improve it or rebuild.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
It depends on scope. Our cost guide explains the main drivers, and after a discovery call we share a plan and estimate before any work starts.
