FAQ

Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. Phoenix is a web framework using Elixir that implements the server-side MVC pattern. With its real-time processing capability and robustness, it’s a great choice for building high-performance applications.

Elixir (Phoenix) is renowned for its scalability, fault-tolerance, and concurrency. These features make it ideal for real-time applications, low-latency systems, or any project that requires handling a high volume of users or requests.

Due to its robustness and scalability, Elixir (Phoenix) can be used for a wide range of projects, including but not limited to real-time systems, web applications, distributed and networked applications, AI applications, embedded systems, and more.

The PETAL stack (Phoenix, Elixir, TailwindCSS, Alpine.js, LiveView) is a powerful combination of technologies that offers high performance, scalability, and maintainability. It’s a great choice for building modern web applications that provides a robust, maintainable, and efficient framework for developing dynamic and scalable web apps.

Petal Pro is that fastest way to get from idea to MVP. Leveraging all of the included features and funcationality of the Petal Pro boilerplate and Petal Components, we can create a beautiful, functional web app for you in record time.

We can help with basic UI/UX design and wireframes. If you’re after high-fidelity designs, we recommend getting those done elsewhere and engaging us if you need help implementing them.

Our process begins with a thorough understanding of your project requirements. We offer a free 15 minute chat to get started and see if we’re a good fit for you. If, after this meeting, we feel we need a deeper understanding or if you require more guidance, we provide a comprehensive Design Workshop for $1999 USD.

During a Design workshop, we will delve into your requirements, create a detailed design specification, including database design and basic wireframes for up to six screens. Once the design spec and scope are accepted, we will start the development process, keeping you updated on the progress every step of the way.

Yes, we can work alongside your existing team of FTEs. Our team can provide support, guidance, and expertise to help you get up and running quickly and efficiently.

Yes, we can help you with existing projects. Our team is experienced in working with legacy codebases and can provide support, maintenance, and updates to your project.

Our cost estimate is based on several factors like the complexity of the project, the time required for completion, and the level of expertise required.

We understand that project requirements can change. We aim to maintain flexibility and adaptability to accommodate any changes that might come up during the project development.

Our team follows industry best practices and rigorous testing procedures to ensure the high quality of our work. We also provide regular updates and reviews to ensure the project is on track and meets your expectations.

The timeline of a project depends largely on its complexity and size. Our client projects have tended to range from a couple of weeks to up to 6 months. We are also flexible and open to working with you and your budget, some of our clients have engaged us for a few hours here and there to keep things manageable. Once we understand your requirements, we can provide a more accurate estimate.

Once you have accepted our cost estimate, we will send you a Statement of Work and Contract for you to sign. Once this is signed, we will get to work and invoice you at regular intervals (normally every 1-2 weeks). For longer engagements (i.e anything expected to be more than 2-3 weeks FT), we ask that you pay for a block of hours up-front (e.g 40 hours) to secure our resources moving forward.

For a Design workshop, we’ll invoice you for 50% at the beginning, with 50% due once we fulfil all the deliverables. Our payment methods will be specified in the invoice and generally most forms of payment are accepted (e.g credit cards). Alternatively, you can ask us if you have another payment method in mind and we’ll look into whether we can accomodate it.

Look forward to hearing from you!
