Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Customer Portal Development cost?

Every Customer Portal Development project is scoped first and quoted as a single fixed price, with the final cost depending on scope. You receive the full quote before any work begins, so there are no hourly-billing surprises partway through the project.

Do you offer ongoing Customer Portal support for Canberra businesses?

Yes. We offer maintenance and support packages for businesses in Canberra and across Australian Capital Territory. This covers bug fixes, updates, and technical support via email and video call, with response times typically within one business day.

Do you have an office in Canberra?

We are based in Melbourne and work remotely with clients in Canberra and across Australian Capital Territory. Our remote setup means faster communication and lower overheads, which keeps our pricing competitive.

Do you meet clients in Canberra for Customer Portal projects?

We work remotely with clients across Australian Capital Territory, including Canberra. Consultations happen over video call, which is faster and more flexible for everyone. If you are in Melbourne, we are happy to meet in person too.

How long does Customer Portal take from start to finish?

Most Customer Portal projects are delivered within 4-6 hours. You get a working version early in that window, not just at the end, so you can give feedback while it's still cheap to change direction.
