Frequently asked questions
When should product design start?
Ideally before heavy engineering. Early discovery, flows, and prototypes reduce rework and help you validate demand. We can also join mid-project to clarify UX debt and improve conversion.
Do you deliver design systems or only screens?
Both. For growing products we build reusable design systems (components, tokens, and patterns) so design and engineering stay consistent as you scale.
Can design and development happen in one team?
Yes. Fort IT combines product design with engineering so handoff is tight, prototypes turn into production UI quickly, and decisions stay grounded in technical reality.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. Fort IT Solutions is based in Novi Sad, Serbia, and regularly partners with startups and businesses across Europe and worldwide. We work in English, use modern collaboration tools, and adapt to your timezone and delivery cadence.
How long does an MVP usually take?
Most MVPs take 6–16 weeks depending on scope, integrations, and design readiness. After a short discovery, we propose a phased plan so you can validate with real users before building every feature.
How much does a custom software project cost?
Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and team size. We typically start with a free consultation, then a fixed discovery or a clear estimate for the first delivery phase. We prefer transparent scopes over open-ended retainers unless you need ongoing team augmentation.
