FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Software Development

How long does custom software development take?

A focused custom application takes 10-16 weeks. A mid-complexity platform with multiple user roles, custom integrations and an admin dashboard takes 16-28 weeks. A complex enterprise system takes 6-12 months. We provide a detailed timeline after a discovery session where we scope requirements together.

How much does custom software development cost?

Custom software costs depend on complexity, number of integrations, user roles and platform (web, mobile or both). A focused web application typically costs $25,000–$60,000. A full enterprise platform with custom backend and multiple integrations costs $60,000–$200,000+. We provide a detailed estimate after scoping.

Do you build both the frontend and backend?

Yes. We are a full-stack team — we design and build everything: frontend interfaces, backend systems, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure and third-party integrations. You work with one team across the entire stack, not separate agencies for frontend and backend.

Who owns the code and IP after delivery?

You own 100% of the code, design files, documentation and intellectual property. Fortmindz retains no rights. Full IP transfer is confirmed in writing before development begins.

Can you replace or modernise our existing legacy system?

Yes. We regularly modernise legacy systems — migrating from outdated frameworks, refactoring architecture for scalability, improving performance and modernising the UI/UX. We phase the rebuild to minimise disruption to live operations throughout.

Do you provide support after launch?

Yes. We provide ongoing maintenance, security updates, dependency management, performance monitoring and feature development after launch. Most client relationships continue well beyond initial delivery.
