How much does it cost to build an app or website?

If you’re a founder or business owner planning to launch a digital product, one of the first questions you’re probably asking is: how much is this going to cost me? The short answer: it depends on what you’re building, how fast you need it, and how far along you already are. But the long answer shouldn’t be vague or overwhelming—and that’s why we created Launchpad. Launchpad is our fixed-cost, four-step system designed to help you go from idea to live product—ready for users, investors, or revenue. No hidden costs. No drawn-out timelines. Just clear pricing and a clear path forward.

Our guarantee

We start every project with a Discovery phase. If you’re not confident in the plan we present, or don’t feel we’re the right fit to build your product—you can walk away. We’ll refund your Discovery fee in full. This gives you total clarity with zero risk. You only move forward if you’re 100% sure.

Why we built Launchpad

Too many founders end up locked into platforms they don’t own, struggling with unclear scopes, spiralling costs, and no real launch date in sight. Launchpad exists to solve that. It gives you: One team, one clean codebase, one path to launch A product you can test, improve, and build on Total clarity on cost, timeline, and deliverables A refund guarantee if it’s not the right fit

Whether you’re aiming for early revenue, pitching to investors, or launching your first product—Launchpad is designed to get you there, fast and clean.
