FAQ
Working with Quickwave
How long does it take to build a website or app?
A marketing website usually takes a few weeks. Web apps, mobile apps and platforms with payments take longer, depending on scope. You get a timeline with milestones in the written quote.
Who owns the code and the data?
For custom projects, you own the software we build for you and all of your data. We agree this in writing before work starts.
Do you work with startups as well as established companies?
Yes. We work with startups validating a first product, SMEs digitising operations, and larger organisations that need integrations with M-Pesa and existing systems.
What technology do you use?
We choose proven tools for each job: Laravel and PHP, React and Next.js, Node.js, MySQL and MongoDB for the web; Android, iOS and cross-platform frameworks for mobile; and Safaricom Daraja and Africa’s Talking for payments, SMS and voice.
Can you take over or fix an existing system?
Yes. We can audit an existing website or application, fix urgent issues, and then improve or rebuild it in stages without stopping your business.
