Question 1

What do you build?

Accepted Answer

Custom websites and micro apps for creators, small businesses, and side hustlers — personal brand sites, event RSVP apps, booking enquiry pages, lightweight portals, member dashboards, and landing pages. I also design brand identities and pixel-art creator bundles for YouTube and Twitch (emotes, sub badges, overlays, channel art), plus small interactive games.

Question 2

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Every project is custom-quoted based on scope and complexity. As a guide: one-page sites start around $900 AUD, most websites and micro apps land between $1,800 and $5,500, and pixel-art creator bundles start from $350. See the pricing page for full ranges. You will always receive a clear, fixed-price quote before any work begins.

Question 3

Can you build a game?

Accepted Answer

Small, simple ones — think quiz apps, card games, or a basic 2D side-scroller that plays in the browser. Larger or more technically demanding games (3D, real-time multiplayer, big open worlds) are outside what the studio takes on. Every game idea is reviewed when you apply, and I'll be upfront if it isn't a fit.

Question 4

How long does a typical project take?

Accepted Answer

Most micro apps and websites are delivered within 1 to 3 weeks, depending on scope. More complex projects may take 3 to 5 weeks. The timeline is agreed upfront as part of scoping.

Question 5

What is included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Your quote covers design, development, testing, two rounds of revisions, deployment, and a handover package including source code and documentation.

Question 6

What about revisions?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes two rounds of revisions as part of the build process. Additional revision rounds can be arranged at a fair hourly rate if needed.

Question 7

Do I own the code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the final payment is made, you receive full ownership of all source code, designs, and assets created for your project.

Question 8

What happens after handover?

Accepted Answer

After handover, the project is yours. I provide documentation so you or another developer can manage and update it. Post-launch support is available case by case.

Question 9

Can I get ongoing support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ongoing support and maintenance can be arranged as a monthly retainer or ad-hoc quoted work after your project is delivered.

Question 10

What tech do you use?

Accepted Answer

I primarily build with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, and Vercel or similar hosting providers.

Question 11

What if I need changes later?

Accepted Answer

Since you own the code, you can make changes yourself, hire another developer, or come back to Pixelpond Studio for additional quoted work.

Question 12

How do payments work?

Accepted Answer

Payments are split into two parts: a 50% deposit to start, and the remaining 50% on completion before handover. Payments are processed securely via Stripe.

Question 13

What if my project is not a good fit?

Accepted Answer

After reviewing your application, I will let you know honestly if it is something I can help with. If not, I will try to point you in the right direction.
