How accurate is this estimate?

This is a directional estimate based on typical scopes. Your final proposal can go up or down depending on brand requirements, content readiness, accessibility, localization, data migration, security or compliance needs, and the number of feedback cycles.

Planning

Computers only do exactly what they're told. A vague or broad statement must be broken down into precise steps, which is time-consuming. The more precise your requirements are, the easier it is to plan, and the lower the costs.

Many people believe they have a project, but what they have is an idea.

Integration

Modern softwares often need to talk to other systems such as payment providers, databases, or third-party services. Sometimes these connections are smooth, but they can also be tricky when external systems are slow, outdated, or poorly documented.

Changes

It's natural for ideas to shift once you see the project taking shape. Adjustments are expected, but frequent or late-stage changes usually mean revisiting earlier work, which adds time and cost.

Uncertainty

Even with solid planning, unexpected challenges can surface. Technical limitations, evolving requirements, or hidden complexities. A cost estimate reflects what's visible now, but some surprises are only uncovered along the way.
