FAQ

Frequently asked questions about our web & app agency.

Straight answers on website cost, timelines, SEO, apps, and how working with thedesigntime works — so you can decide with clarity.

What does a web and app development agency do?
A web and app development agency designs and builds custom websites, mobile apps, and digital products for businesses. At thedesigntime, that means discovery, UX/UI design, custom development, SEO setup, launch, and optional ongoing support — so you get one team from concept to live product.
How much does a custom website cost?
Custom website pricing depends on scope. Our limited-time 48-hour website starts at $999 (up to 8 pages). Custom marketing sites typically start around $2,900–$4,900, while larger platforms, e-commerce, and full-stack builds are scoped separately. We quote fixed fees after understanding your goals and pages.
How long does it take to build a website?
A template-based 48-hour website can launch in two days when content is ready. A custom marketing site of 8–15 pages usually takes 4–7 weeks. Full-stack web apps, Shopify stores, and mobile apps take longer and are planned around milestones you can track.
Do you build SEO-friendly websites?
Yes. We build server-rendered, fast sites with clean URLs, meta tags, sitemaps, schema markup, and Core Web Vitals in mind. SEO is part of the build — not an afterthought — so your site is ready for Google Search Console and organic growth from day one.
What is the difference between a custom website and WordPress or Shopify?
Custom websites give you full control over design, performance, and features. WordPress is ideal when marketers need to publish content often. Shopify is best for online stores. We build all three — and help you choose based on goals, budget, and how your team will manage the site.
Do you develop iOS and Android apps?
Yes. We build native and cross-platform mobile apps (including React Native) for iOS and Android, covering design, development, API integrations, App Store and Play Store submission, and post-launch iteration.
Where is thedesigntime based?
thedesigntime is a web and app development agency headquartered in Dubai, with team members in London and New York. We work with clients across the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Canada, and Saudi Arabia, with timezone-friendly delivery.
Can you redesign an existing website without hurting SEO?
Yes. We audit your current URLs, rankings, and content, then plan redirects, preserve important pages, and migrate meta data carefully. Redesigns should improve speed and UX while protecting the organic traffic you already earned.
Do you offer branding, graphic design, and Amazon listing design?
Yes. Alongside web and app development, we offer brand identity, packaging, and Amazon listing / A+ Content design — so your product pages, packaging, and website share one coherent brand system.
Do you offer ongoing website support and business growth services?
Yes. After launch we offer care plans for updates, backups, and edits, plus monthly business growth retainers for social media management, content creation, and growth strategy starting at $999/month.
Who owns the website and code after the project?
You do, on final payment — including design source files, code repositories, and bespoke assets we produced. Third-party licences (fonts, stock, plugins) stay in your name. No vendor lock-in.
How do I get a quote for my project?
Share your goals, timeline, and any examples via our contact page. We reply within one business day with questions if needed, then a clear scope, fixed-fee quote, and realistic timeline — before you commit.
