The cost of a web or software project can vary significantly based on the complexity and specific requirements of the project.

• Web Projects: For basic web projects, such as simple informational websites, the starting price is typically around $3,500. However, for more complex website projects that require advanced features such as payment gateways or shopping cart systems, the starting cost is generally $5,500 and can increase based on additional functionalities and customizations.

• Software Projects: For software development projects, the cost is generally higher due to the complexity and resources involved. A typical team for a software project includes a Project Manager, a UI/UX Designer, and two Senior Full Stack Engineers. The cost for such projects is typically around $35,000. More complex software development projects may require additional team members and resources, which can increase the overall cost. A full custom software development project generally takes about 3 months to complete from an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage.
