<qa-section>
### Q: How fast can you build and launch a functional SaaS MVP?
A: We typically deliver a production-ready SaaS MVP in 4 weeks under a fixed-scope milestone agreement. This includes user authentication, database architecture, billing integration with Stripe, core product workflows, and automated transactional emails.

### Q: What technology stack do you use for custom web applications?
A: We primarily build with Astro 5 Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or React, TypeScript, Bun or Node.js backend services, PostgreSQL for relational data, Redis for caching, and Tailwind CSS for responsive styling. We choose tools that maximize page speed and long-term maintainability.

### Q: Do you offer fixed-price contracts or hourly billing?
A: We work predominantly on fixed-price milestones with clearly defined acceptance criteria. You know exact timelines, deliverables, and total costs upfront without billing surprises.

### Q: What happens after the application is deployed?
A: We provide 30 days of post-launch warranty support to resolve any edge-case issues. We also offer ongoing maintenance retainers and dedicated managed cloud hosting.

### Q: How do you handle data security, authentication, and compliance?
A: We enforce strict security practices including encrypted environment secrets, parameterized SQL queries to prevent injection, bcrypt/Argon2 password hashing or OAuth2 providers, and edge Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection.
