Question 1

Do you work with businesses outside Colombia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our engineering hub is in Medellín, but we work as a remote-first team with businesses across Colombia and companies in the United States. For U.S. clients, we operate as your nearshore development team: same or overlapping time zone, fluent communication in English and Spanish, structured asynchronous documentation, and scheduled syncs for friction-free collaboration.

Question 2

What scale of businesses do you typically partner with?

Accepted Answer

We work with ambitious SMEs, fast-growing tech startups, and established corporate enterprises. We look for partners who have outgrown generic website templates and require high-performance infrastructure to scale their digital operations.

Question 3

What technical stack do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

We build high-performance web platforms using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. For data and backend services, we leverage modern serverless architectures (AWS/Vercel) and connect content through secure, intuitive headless CMS solutions (like Sanity, Strapi, or Payload) rather than relying on bloated monolithic frameworks.

Question 4

Can you rebuild or migrate an existing website?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We specialize in migrating legacy, slow, monolithic websites (like traditional WordPress or custom technical debt) into ultra-fast, modern Jamstack architectures. We audit your current system to preserve valuable data and SEO equity while completely re-engineering the frontend for maximum speed.

Question 5

How do you handle e-commerce infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

We develop commerce platforms tailored to your scale. For rapid, highly functional deployments, we integrate and customize Shopify environments. For high-volume enterprise projects requiring ultimate flexibility, we build headless commerce architectures that isolate the frontend for unmatched loading speeds.

Question 6

How do you ensure data security and compliance on custom builds?

Accepted Answer

By decoupling the frontend from the backend using modern headless and serverless architectures, we drastically reduce the attack surface. There are no exposed databases or monolithic admin panels for attackers to exploit. We also implement strict HTTPS encryption, secure API endpoint routing, and ensure your forms and checkout flows comply with international data security standards.

Question 7

Can your platforms integrate with our existing ERP, CRM, or accounting software?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Since we write native, modular code in Next.js and TypeScript, we aren't limited by rigid plugin ecosystems. We build custom API integrations to connect your web platform directly with enterprise tools such as HubSpot, Salesforce, SAP, Siigo, Alegra, or any legacy software that exposes a secure REST or GraphQL endpoint.

Question 8

How do you handle localization and multi-language support for global companies?

Accepted Answer

We implement native sub-path or domain-based internationalization routing directly in our Next.js middleware. This delivers translated layout architectures instantly based on the user's location or selection, with no layout shift, while keeping metadata fully optimized for international search engines (hreflang architecture).

Question 9

Is SEO included in your web development process?

Accepted Answer

SEO isn't an afterthought for us — it's woven into the first line of code. We engineer advanced technical SEO directly into our Next.js architecture, ensuring semantic HTML structure, schema markup, and optimized Core Web Vitals, so your site is ready to rank on both Google search results and generative AI engines.

Question 10

How long until SEO shows results?

Accepted Answer

Technical gains — speed, crawlability, structure — land immediately. Organic visibility compounds over months. We set realistic expectations up front and measure against them as we go.

Question 11

What is GEO, and why does it matter for my platform?

Accepted Answer

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. Search behavior is shifting toward conversational AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. We structure your site's data and technical architecture cleanly so these large language models can easily parse, understand, and recommend your business to users.

Question 12

How do your platforms perform under massive traffic spikes during marketing campaigns?

Accepted Answer

Traditional websites crash during high-concurrency events (Black Friday, product launches, viral Meta/Google ad campaigns) because the server gets overloaded processing database requests. Our Next.js architectures use static site generation (SSG) and global CDNs, so your pages are pre-compiled and served instantly from edge locations worldwide. Your platform handles millions of concurrent users smoothly, with zero server lag.

Question 13

How do you guarantee we won't lose our current Google rankings during a website migration?

Accepted Answer

Migration without an engineering strategy destroys organic traffic. We map your existing structure with structural data crawlers, build rigorous 301 redirection pipelines, and match your previous meta tags precisely within the new, clean code. By eliminating bloated legacy code and accelerating page speed, overall domain authority typically increases post-launch.

Question 14

What does your product design process look like?

Accepted Answer

We design entirely from scratch, focusing on custom UX and UI strategies that match your brand identity. Every component is prototyped and validated for cross-device responsiveness and conversion paths before a single line of code is written.

Question 15

Do you design as well as develop?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our designers and software engineers operate under a single, integrated workflow. This prevents any 'loss in translation' between the visual approval stage and the final technical deployment — what you sign off on in design is pixel-for-pixel what goes live.

Question 16

Do you build or follow enterprise design systems?

Accepted Answer

Both. If your enterprise already runs on an established design system, we import and program those exact components natively into modular Tailwind utilities. For new brands, we build scalable UI design tokens covering every interaction state from the ground up, ensuring absolute design cohesion as your product scales.

Question 17

How long does a website project take?

Accepted Answer

Timeline depends on scope: focused marketing platforms typically take 3 to 5 weeks, while comprehensive corporate ecosystems or large-scale digital catalogs take 6 to 10 weeks. We build in weekly, shippable sprints, so you see real, coded progress on a regular cadence.

Question 18

How involved do I need to be?

Accepted Answer

We manage the entire project lifecycle to minimize friction on your schedule. We need intensive strategic alignment during Week 1 (Discovery) and focused feedback at sign-off milestones. Most partners spend just 1 to 2 hours a week reviewing sprints with us.

Question 19

What development methodology do you follow, and how do we track progress?

Accepted Answer

We operate under a strict Agile Scrum framework adapted for digital products, broken into weekly sprints. Every Friday you receive a shippable increment of your project along with a recorded video walkthrough of the completed work. All communications, asset handoffs, and roadmaps live in a single shared dashboard — no messy email threads.

Question 20

How much does a custom website cost?

Accepted Answer

We price transparently based on project scope, data complexity, and specific system integrations. After a brief discovery call to map out requirements, we deliver a comprehensive, itemized proposal with a locked fixed fee — protecting your budget from surprise inflation.

Question 21

How do you structure payments?

Accepted Answer

Our typical billing structure is milestone-based, splitting the investment into stages tied to specific deliverables (e.g., initial discovery, UX/UI sign-off, final technical deployment), so cost tracks directly with visible progress.

Question 22

What happens if our product requirements change midway through a development sprint?

Accepted Answer

Our Agile Scrum framework is built to handle evolution without breaking budgets. We follow a strict change-management protocol: if a new feature or pivot is needed mid-project, we assess its impact on the roadmap, estimate the additional sprint hours required, and present an addendum to the scope before implementing it. Work already delivered stays protected.

Question 23

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Launch day is just the foundation. Every deployment includes an initial post-launch monitoring window. From there, we offer structured monthly SLAs covering advanced cloud infrastructure management, performance optimization, security monitoring, and continuous iterations.

Question 24

Will I be able to edit my website?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We build on modern headless CMS solutions that decouple content from code. Your marketing or operations team gets an intuitive, secure admin panel where they can update text, manage media, and publish products instantly — no technical knowledge required, no risk of breaking the core layout.

Question 25

Do you hand over technical documentation for our internal developers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We treat code as an asset. We deliver fully documented TypeScript repositories with clean architecture, self-explanatory naming conventions, and an explicit README covering environment setup and CI/CD pipelines. Any internal engineering team or future developer can read, maintain, and scale our codebase effortlessly.

Question 26

Who owns the intellectual property and code?

Accepted Answer

Your company holds 100% legal ownership of the code repositories, content, domains, and hosting servers from day one. We configure all underlying cloud infrastructure under your own credentials, so there's no proprietary lock-in or vendor dependency.

Question 27

Can you improve an existing site instead of rebuilding it?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. We start with a technical audit of your Core Web Vitals and current codebase. If the foundation is solid, we can optimize it or decouple the frontend to speed it up. If your current platform is costing you money and customers due to slow load times or plugin limitations, we'll tell you honestly when it's time to migrate to a modern, fast Next.js architecture.

Question 28

Do you offer monthly support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After launch you get 30 days completely free on our Essential Support Plan. After that, we offer fully optional recurring plans (from $190,000 COP/month) so our team handles 24/7 monitoring, ongoing speed optimization, security hardening, and small operational tweaks. If you'd rather self-manage, we hand over full global access and you keep total independence.

Question 29

Can you work with our internal team?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Because we write native, clean, modular TypeScript code, we operate under agile methodologies that let us plug smoothly into your marketing, design, or IT teams. We share repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and technical documentation openly and transparently — no black boxes, no secrets.
