What affects the cost and timeline?
Every project is different, but the same few factors account for most of the cost and time. Understanding them helps you plan a realistic budget and decide where to invest.
Discovery
Usually two to four weeks to agree scope and plan.
Design
Wireframes, prototypes and UI typically take three to eight weeks.
Build
Development in sprints, typically ten to twenty weeks depending on scope.
Testing
QA runs throughout, with a dedicated test phase before launch.
Decisions and feedback
Fast, clear feedback from your side is the biggest factor in staying on schedule.

How to keep costs under control
Start with a clear scope, launch a focused first version, and add features based on what users actually do. A short discovery phase is the best way to get an accurate estimate.
