# Custom Software Development From ideation to implementation — custom software for your exact workflows. --- ## How to engage FreedomDev for Custom Software Development From discovery through delivery, the engagement path for building production custom software with FreedomDev. 1. **Discovery and architecture** — We map your physical operations and translate them into digital workflows. The output is a written architecture and scope document that becomes the basis for the proposal. 2. **Fixed-bid proposal** — After discovery, you receive a fixed-bid price and timeline. No hourly billing, no scope-creep charges. You decide whether to proceed before any development begins. 3. **Two-week sprint development** — Senior engineers build the software in two-week sprints. You receive a working demo at the end of every sprint and can steer the project before the next one begins. 4. **Deployment and SLA support** — We handle the migration from legacy systems, deploy to your environment, and provide SLA-backed support. You receive full source code, documentation, and deployment scripts. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How long does a custom software project typically take? Most projects run 3-6 months from discovery to deployment, depending on complexity. We work in two-week sprints so you see working software early and can steer the project as it develops. ### Do I own the code you write? Yes, 100%. You own all intellectual property. There are no ongoing licensing fees or vendor lock-in. The codebase is yours to maintain, extend, or hand off to another team. ### Can you integrate with our existing systems? Absolutely. We specialize in building software that connects to ERP systems, QuickBooks, legacy databases, third-party APIs, and more. Integration is a core strength, not an afterthought. ### What technologies do you use? We choose the right stack for each project. Common choices include React, Next.js, Node.js, .NET, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. We also work with mobile frameworks like React Native and Swift. ### How much does custom software cost? Projects typically range from $50K-$500K depending on scope and complexity. We provide detailed estimates after a discovery phase so there are no surprises. Our fixed-bid option gives you budget certainty. --- **Canonical URL**: https://freedomdev.com/services/custom-software-development _Last updated: 2026-05-14_
