Question 1

What technologies do you work with?

Accepted Answer

At Designatives, we build primarily with React, Next.js and TypeScript on the front end, and Node.js on the back end. For content management we use headless CMS platforms such as Payload, Contentful, Strapi and Sanity. Mobile apps are built cross platform with React Native or fully native, depending on the product. We also build custom APIs, backend platforms and integrations with payment systems, third party services and existing business tools.

Question 2

Can you build on our existing tech stack?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. We regularly work within existing codebases and platforms. If your current setup has limitations that would compromise the project, we will flag that early and recommend a path forward.

Question 3

Do you handle hosting and deployment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We configure hosting, handle deployment, manage DNS, and set up monitoring. We work with providers like Vercel, AWS, Google Cloud and dedicated hosting depending on the project requirements.

Question 4

How long does a typical development project take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope. The build phase of a marketing website typically takes 3 to 5 weeks from design approval to launch, and a full website project including design runs four to twelve weeks. A more complex platform, mobile app or custom AI workflow can take 3 to 6 months. We scope every project individually and give clear timelines before starting.

Question 5

What kind of AI agents and automations do you build?

Accepted Answer

We build custom AI agents, assistant interfaces and workflow automations that plug into the tools a business already uses. That can be a customer facing assistant, an internal copilot for your team, or a multi step workflow that takes over repetitive work. Every system is designed with human oversight, so your team stays in control. See how it worked for Pannon Turfgrass.

Question 6

Do you build apps for both iOS and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build both cross platform and fully native apps, depending on the product and the budget. Cross platform means one codebase for iOS and Android, which costs less and is usually the better route for an MVP. Native makes sense when an app needs top performance or deeper device features. We help you choose during scoping.

Question 7

Can you work from our existing designs or alongside our in house team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can build from designs you already have, join your in house developers on part of a project, or take on the whole thing from design to launch. We review what exists first and flag anything that would affect performance, accessibility or build time before development starts. If you need the designs too, our UI/UX team can take that on.

Question 8

Who owns the code after launch?

Accepted Answer

You do. At handover we give you the full codebase and complete control of everything we've built. Nothing is locked to us. We stay available afterwards for new features, improvements and technical support whenever you need them.

Question 9

How do you price development projects?

Accepted Answer

We quote projects with a defined scope at a fixed price, agreed before work starts. Ongoing work such as new features, iterations and support is billed on a monthly retainer or at an hourly rate. After a scoping call we send a proposal covering scope, timeline and price.

Question 10

How do you handle security and data protection?

Accepted Answer

Security is planned at the scoping stage, not added at the end. We work to GDPR requirements, restrict access to data, and use established hosting and authentication providers. For AI systems, we define exactly what data the model can access and keep a human in the loop for sensitive actions.

Question 11

Do you build MVPs for startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We scope the smallest version that proves the idea, build it in sprints and launch early, then extend it once real users are on it. You get a fixed price for the agreed scope, and the code is yours at handover. More on how we work with startups and scaleups.
