Client FAQs

Critical questions to ask before signing a software development contract.

What is the difference between "Offshore" and "Nearshore"?

**Offshore** (e.g., India, Eastern Europe) offers the lowest rates but significant time zone differences. **Nearshore** (e.g., Latin America for US clients) offers overlapping work hours and cultural alignment at a mid-range price point.

How do I ensure code quality?

Look for agencies that include **automated testing (CI/CD)** and peer code reviews in their workflow. Ask to see sanitized code samples or speak to a past CTO client during reference checks.

What is the "Discovery Phase"?

This is a paid preliminary phase (2-4 weeks) where the agency defines the technical architecture, user stories, and wireframes *before* writing code. This reduces the risk of budget overruns later.

Who owns the intellectual property (IP)?

In custom software development, **you should always own the code**. Ensure the contract states "Work made for hire" and that ownership transfers immediately upon payment.
