Client Feedback

FAQs
Questions UK businesses ask before hiring us
Do you work during UK business hours?
Yes. We schedule discovery calls, sprint demos, and support windows around GMT and BST, with same-day responses during UK office hours, so you are never stuck waiting overnight for a reply.
Are you GDPR compliant?
Yes. Every project follows GDPR aware data handling practices, including cookie consent, privacy policies, and customer data management, configured correctly from day one rather than bolted on afterward.
Who owns the code and intellectual property once the project is done?
You do. Every contract we sign with a UK client transfers full ownership of the code, designs, and any custom IP built during the engagement.
Do you sign NDAs and work under UK friendly contract terms?
Yes. NDAs and master service agreements are standard practice for every engagement, not an add-on you have to request separately.
How do you price projects, and do you bill in GBP?
Every quote is scoped and billed in pounds sterling. We provide a fixed quote for defined projects and transparent rates for dedicated team or staff augmentation engagements, with no hidden fees or surprise change-order costs.
Can you help with UK VAT setup and tax configuration?
Yes. For eCommerce projects specifically, we handle UK VAT rules, platform tax configuration, and correct price display for UK customers as part of the build, not as a separate afterthought.
Why hire an offshore team instead of a local UK agency?
Cost efficiency is part of it, but the bigger reason is capacity and specialisation. You get a full team across eCommerce, apps, AI, and DevOps without hiring eight separate specialists locally, while still getting overlapping hours and direct English communication.
Which communication tools do you use day to day?
Whatever your team already runs on. Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Linear, and GitHub are all standard for us, we adapt to your existing workflow instead of asking you to change it.
Can you work with our existing developers or agency?
Yes. Staff augmentation engagements are built for exactly this, our developers join your existing team and report into your own project leads and processes.
How do you handle data security and compliance?
We follow the access control, secrets handling, and data-handling practices appropriate to your industry and share our approach in detail during scoping, particularly for healthcare and fintech projects that carry stricter requirements.
