The questions we actually get asked, answered straight.

If your question isn't here, it's a two-line email away — support@devworksfac.com.

Engagement models

01 Do I have to buy a package, or can I just ask for a quote?
Either. Eight packages are buyable directly with a published price. Everything else — bespoke builds, retainers, Enterprise-tier work — goes through a quote request that starts with the same discovery process, just without an upfront checkout button.
02 What's the difference between "fixed," "from," "deposit" and "poa" pricing?
Fixed = one number, that's the price. "From" = a real floor, confirmed exactly in discovery. Deposit = a reservation payment credited against a larger total, confirmed in discovery. POA ("price on request") = genuinely bespoke scope we can't responsibly price without a conversation first — we say so plainly rather than pretending a range is a quote.
03 Can I combine services — say, design and then build?
Yes, and it's a common path: an audit or sprint from one service page often feeds directly into a build on another. The Related Services section on every service page shows the natural next step.

Timelines & delivery

04 How fast can you start?
Audits and sprints usually start within a week of kickoff. Larger builds depend on current capacity — we run one MVP build and a limited number of concurrent engagements at a time, specifically so nothing gets a junior's attention instead of a senior's.
05 Do you ever miss a deadline?
Scope changes are the usual cause of a missed deadline industry-wide, which is why every package has a written, fixed scope before the timeline clock starts. If something needs to change mid-build, we reprice and re-date it in writing — we don't silently let the date slip.
06 What if I need something faster than the stated timeline?
Ask — some packages have expedited options depending on current capacity, quoted case by case.

Payment & VAT

07 How do I pay?
By bank transfer, against a fixed-price invoice. Buy a package online and we confirm the order immediately — no card is charged at that point. We follow up within one business day with an invoice, and the engagement starts once it's paid. Bespoke and retainer engagements are invoiced the same way, per the terms agreed in the proposal.
08 Are your prices VAT-inclusive?
No, prices are ex. VAT. We calculate VAT when we issue your invoice, based on the VAT/NIF and billing country you give us — EU business clients with a valid VAT ID typically get the reverse charge; Portuguese and non-VAT-registered clients see VAT added at the applicable rate.
09 What's your refund policy?
Full refund if you cancel before work starts. Once kickoff has begun, refunds are pro-rated against what's actually been delivered. See the Refund Policy for the full terms.

IP & ownership

10 Who owns the code once it's built?
You do, outright, from the moment of handover — full source, no licensing fee back to us, no locked platform.
11 Do you retain any rights to reuse our work?
No. We may reference that we worked with you (with permission) for our own portfolio, but the codebase and its IP are yours.
12 What if we want to hire our own developer to take over later?
That's exactly what a full source-code handover with documentation is designed to support — nothing here is built to be dependent on us specifically.

Support

13 What happens if something breaks after launch?
Covered free for 30 days post-launch for build engagements. After that, fixes are billed hourly or covered under a support retainer.
14 Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes — several services have a named monthly retainer tier (App Growth & Maintenance, Managed Cloud Retainer, Post-launch Iteration Retainer) for exactly this.
15 How do we reach you if something's urgent?
support@devworksfac.com or +351 220 145 380, Mon–Fri 08:00–18:00 WET/WEST. We reply to every enquiry within one business day.
