FAQs
-
What if I need additional customisation after the first phase?
Naturally as your business grows, your platform may need to advance too.
We’ll sense-check any new features you want to add and work with you to fully detail these. Any developments after the initial build are chargeable, but if these features are suitable for our other clients we’re more than happy to provide a development fee that reflects this.
-
How do I get new features that you have created for your other clients?
As your strategic partners, we’ll highlight any new features we’ve added for our other clients in our regular catch-ups. We can discuss how these fit with what you’re trying to achieve and your specific development roadmap.
While we’re happy to add these features to your learning platform, we reserve the right to charge an implementation fee (which will be communicated before you’ve committed to any work).
