Frequently asked questions

Clear answers for the most common questions about partnering with KGDEV.

Do you handle domain purchases and hosting setup?

Yes. We can secure your preferred domain, configure DNS, and provision managed web and email hosting so everything launches together and stays monitored.

Can you migrate our existing site or application?

We migrate legacy sites, content, and data with rollback plans, performance tuning, and staging environments to keep downtime close to zero.

How quickly can a typical project launch?

Discovery to launch averages twelve weeks, but we agree timelines up front based on scope, integrations, and dependency lead times.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Absolutely. We provide retainers for maintenance, feature roadmaps, infrastructure oversight, and analytics so the product keeps evolving.

Can you collaborate with our in-house development team?

Yes. We regularly embed alongside internal teams, share ceremonies, and work from a shared backlog so delivery stays transparent and collaborative.

How do you handle project pricing?

We scope each engagement with a fixed investment for discovery and design, followed by milestone-based or retainer billing that aligns to roadmap priorities.

What does communication look like day to day?

Expect a dedicated Slack channel, weekly roadmap reviews, and shared dashboards covering progress, metrics, and next actions.

Can you help with compliance or security requirements?

We work within ISO 27001 and SOC2 frameworks, implement secure SDLC practices, and coordinate with compliance leads to keep audits on track.
