Common Questions
The handful of things people usually want to know up front. If yours isn’t here, ask in the form above — we’ll answer in the reply.
Q.01
How quickly will you reply?
Q.01
Within one working day. Usually the same day if you write before lunch NZT.
Q.02
Do you work with companies outside NZ and Australia?
Q.01
Yes, we work with companies across NZ, Australia, the US, and some in Canada too. We don't have Europe-based clients due to the timezone difference.
Q.03
What size of business do you work with?
Q.01
We work with a range of companies from small business or startup through to enterprise, but our most common customer size is ~50-500 staff. We find this is the sweet spot for having the scale where we can drive big efficiencies.
Q.04
Do you offer fixed-price engagements?
Q.01
Yes, after a detailed scoping exercise up front - we ensure that we're aligned on exactly what's being shipped so there aren't any surprises.
Q.05
Can we hire you to just do an audit or technical review?
Q.01
Sure. We've taken over from previous developers for several clients and in each case have found significant potential for improvement across security fixes, usability and UI/UX, performance, and data quality.
Q.06
Do you sign NDAs before the first call?
Q.01
Happy to - your info is confidential even without an NDA, but if you want to send one through before we talk then we're happy to sign one.
From the founder
“I read every enquiry myself. If we’re not the right team for what you’re trying to do, I’ll tell you that — and usually point you at someone who is.”
