General FAQs

What types of companies do you work with?

We partner with startups, SMBs, and enterprises (including Fortune 500s) across industries like media, healthcare, retail, finance, and logistics and many more. Whether you're building an MVP, mobile application, SaaS solution or modernizing a legacy system, we’ve got the expertise to scale with you.

What makes Dot Com Development different from other dev shops?

Three things and we've held to all three since 2004. First, we commit to a fixed cost before a project starts and honor it. No surprise invoices. Second, every project we deliver is warranty-backed. If something isn't right after delivery during the warranty period we fix it, no arguments. Third, we use senior staff on every project ... no juniors, no shortcuts. Most dev shops offer one of these. We offer all three as standard.

Where is your team located?

We are headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, with distributed teams across the U.S enabling collaboration in your time zone with global scale.

How quickly can you start on a new project?

We can typically onboard and kick off within 3 business days once agreements are in place, ensuring minimal delays to your roadmap.

Project Planning & Execution

How do we get started?

Start with a discovery call or request a proposal. We’ll align on goals, define requirements, and provide an estimate with timelines, costs, and phases.

Do you offer fixed-cost projects or retainers?

Fixed cost commitments are our standard model and one of our core differentiators. Before a project starts we agree on a price and we honor it, no surprises mid-project, no ambiguous billing. For ongoing development and long-term support engagements we also offer retainer-based arrangements. But for defined project scopes, fixed cost is always our starting point.

Will I have a dedicated team?

Yes. You’ll have a dedicated project manager and a cross-functional team tailored to your project engineers, designers, QA, and DevOps included.

How do you handle changes in project scope?

We follow agile principles. Scope adjustments are discussed in sprint planning or change reviews, with updated timelines and costs provided transparently.

Web & Mobile Development

Do you build both web and mobile apps?

Yes. We design and develop responsive web platforms and native (iOS/Android) or cross-platform mobile applications using the latest innovative and stable technologies/modern frameworks that are a best fit for your solution.

Can you upgrade or fix an existing web/mobile app?

Absolutely. We specialize in legacy modernization, code audits, UI/UX overhauls, performance optimization, and feature extensions for existing applications.

How long does it take to launch an MVP?

Most MVPs can be launched in weeks depending on complexity. We offer phased delivery so you can release fast, test with users, and iterate intelligently.

Do you also handle app store publishing and web launches?

Yes. We manage full deployment cycles, including App Store/Google Play submission, compliance checks, hosting setup, and ongoing updates.
Proven. Trusted. Award-Winning.

Can you optimize costs in our current cloud setup?

Absolutely. We analyze your infrastructure usage and apply right-sizing, auto-scaling, and reserved instance strategies to reduce spend without sacrificing performance.

AI & Data Solutions

What kinds of AI solutions do you build?

From chatbots and recommendation engines to NLP and computer vision apps, we build custom AI models and integrate pre-trained LLMs to enhance functionality, automation, and personalization.

Do you help with data strategy before building AI solutions?

Yes. We assess data quality, sources, and governance, then design pipelines to ensure your AI models are powered by reliable, actionable data.

Do you offer AI readiness assessments?

Yes. We evaluate your data, architecture, and business goals to identify high-value AI use cases and recommend a phased roadmap for implementation.

Yes. We’ve built and supported compliant platforms across healthcare, finance, and enterprise sectors. We implement data access controls, audit logs, consent workflows, and encryption strategies tailored to your industry’s regulatory requirements helping you meet standards like HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2.

What kind of post-launch support do you provide?

Every project includes a warranty period as standard  ... not as an upsell. If something isn't working as agreed after delivery, we fix it at no additional cost. Beyond the warranty period we offer custom tailored support and maintenance, monitoring, performance tuning, and feature development through flexible support arrangements ... no one size fits all packages.

What security practices are built into your development process?

We apply secure coding standards, code reviews, penetration testing, and automated vulnerability scanning as part of our standard SDLC.
