Every Delivery

Every delivery ships with a signed work record.

You get more than code: a record of exactly what was authorized, what it cost to build, and a way to check both without taking our word for it.

What was authorized

Every job runs against a written mission — the scope you approved, nothing more. The record shows exactly what was asked for and what was delivered against it.

What it cost

Token and model spend for the run is logged alongside the deliverable, not estimated after the fact. You see the actual cost of the work, not a markup guess.

Verify it offline

The work record ships with the delivery. Run writ verify against it yourself — you don't have to take our word for what happened during the build.

Process

How it works.

Three steps. No red tape.

  1. Book a free assessment

    30-minute call. Tell us about your project, your Kentico environment, and what you need. We'll ask the right questions and understand the scope. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment of what it'll take.

  2. Pick a package and pay — we start immediately

    Based on the assessment, we'll recommend the right package. You'll know the exact cost upfront. No estimates that balloon, no change orders. Pay and we start immediately.

  3. Review on a live preview, then delivery

    You review the work on a live preview before anything's final. Then you receive complete, reviewed, production-ready Kentico code — widgets with all four files, content types with proper relationships, migration configurations tested and validated — ready to drop into your project.

Beyond the Packages

Migrating off Kentico Xperience 13? Building something bigger?

Migrations, full site builds, and ongoing hourly work are scoped individually after a free assessment — page-type-to-content-type mapping, widget and web part migration, content model modernization, whatever the job needs. Every Kentico solution is different, and an honest price requires a look at yours.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How can you be so much cheaper than an agency?
Agencies carry overhead: account managers, project managers, office space, junior developers learning on the job at senior rates. We're a Kentico Community Leader Award-winning architect backed by modern AI-driven development tooling that lets us deliver production-quality code significantly faster. You're paying for expertise and output, not headcount.
What version of Kentico do you work with?
We specialize in Xperience by Kentico (the current platform). We also handle migrations to XbyK from both Kentico Xperience 13 (MVC) and Kentico 12 (legacy MVC/Portal). Anything older than K12 is out of scope — the data-model drift isn't worth pretending we can price reliably.
Do you work with our existing codebase?
Yes. During the assessment call, we'll discuss your project structure, naming conventions, and existing patterns. Code we deliver follows your conventions and drops into your solution. For larger packages, we can work directly in your repository.
How fast is delivery?
Single widgets: within 24 hours. Widget packs: 3-5 business days. KX13 migrations: 2-3 weeks. K12 migrations: 3-4 weeks (older platform, more data-model drift). Full site builds: 4-8 weeks. These are actual delivery times, not "we'll start scoping in two weeks" agency timelines.
What if the scope turns out to be larger than expected?
That's what the free assessment is for — we scope it accurately before you pay anything. If something unexpected comes up during the project, we'll discuss it openly and give you options. No surprise invoices.
I already have an agency. Why would I use this?
We're not here to replace your agency. Many clients use us for specific needs their agency is too slow or expensive for: a quick widget build, a second opinion on architecture, migration planning, or overflow work when their agency is at capacity. We complement, not compete.
