      Frequently Asked Questions

      Is this a final quotation?

      No. It is an early planning tool designed to help structure the first development conversation. A final quotation requires detailed scope and technical review.

      Can I build Android first and iOS later?

      Yes, if that matches your target audience and product strategy. Many founders validate first on Android before expanding to iOS.

      Do all selected features need to be in Phase 1?

      No. The tool actively recommends moving non-essential functionality to Phase 2 to launch faster and control early risk.

      Can DIGITAL WEBXPERT build the backend too?

      Yes, where APIs, data storage, user authentication, and web-based administration portals are required.

      Can you take over an existing app?

      Yes. Existing source code and architecture should be reviewed before confirming scope and next steps.
