Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about app development projects, timelines, and pricing.

Both. For most projects I recommend cross-platform (Flutter or React Native for mobile, Electron/Tauri for desktop) — one codebase that delivers a native feel on every platform. For performance-critical or platform-specific requirements, purely native builds are also available. We'll discuss the right approach during your free consultation.

Projects are billed in three milestones: 30% deposit to begin, 40% at the mid-point when the design and core functionality are approved, and 30% upon final delivery before app store submission. This protects both parties and keeps the project moving.

Yes — and it's a unique strength. Whether you need a local LLM that runs entirely on the user's device (100% private), an AI assistant powered by cloud providers, semantic search, or agentic workflows, all of these can be built into a new or existing app. See the AIQ Load Manager project for a real-world example of an AI-integrated desktop app built by Conxion Visual Communications.

Yes. Business App Pro and Enterprise Custom packages include full submission to the Apple App Store and Google Play. The App Store Deployment service is also available as a standalone add-on ($1,000–$5,000 depending on platform scope). Desktop stores (Microsoft Store, Mac App Store) are included in Enterprise or available as add-ons.

Basic covers critical bug fixes, OS updates, and security patches — the essentials to keep your app running. Pro adds feature tweaks, API maintenance, app store update submissions, and faster response times. Enterprise adds a dedicated developer, custom feature additions, 24/7 monitoring, and a guaranteed SLA. All plans include a 15% discount when paid annually.

Yes — all projects are handled remotely. Collaboration happens via email, video calls, shared staging builds, and design review links. Most clients are outside Asheboro, NC. Being local is never a requirement.

Yes — this is a popular add-on service. Starting at $10,000–$25,000 for a mobile companion app (iOS + Android) that syncs with your existing desktop tool or SaaS. Includes auth handoff, real-time sync, push notifications, and offline queue support. Pricing varies by backend complexity and number of screens.
