Question 1

What exactly does SJ Dev Technologies do?

Accepted Answer

SJ Dev Technologies is a software development house. We build web applications, mobile apps, and custom Shopify commerce systems. Think of us as your engineering team — design, development, and long-term support under one roof.

Question 2

How quickly can you start on my project?

Accepted Answer

After the initial strategy call and agreement signing, we can typically kick off within 3–5 business days. For urgent projects, we offer a fast-track onboarding — just mention it during your first call.

Question 3

Do you work with startups or only established businesses?

Accepted Answer

Both. We love working with early-stage startups who need to move fast, and with established businesses who want to scale. Our packages are flexible enough to fit different budgets and stages.

Question 4

What does the engagement process look like?

Accepted Answer

It starts with a free strategy audit → scoping call → proposal → agreement → kickoff. From there we work in 2-week sprints with regular check-ins, Loom updates, and a shared project dashboard so you always know what's happening.

Question 5

What is your pricing model?

Accepted Answer

We offer three models: fixed-price project packages, monthly retainers for ongoing work, and hourly consulting. During the scoping call we'll recommend the model that makes most sense for your situation and budget.

Question 6

Do you sign NDAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We sign NDAs before any sensitive information is shared. Client confidentiality is taken seriously — we never share project details, code, or business information with third parties.

Question 7

What time zones do you work in?

Accepted Answer

Our core team is based in Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5) but we regularly work with clients across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. We schedule overlap hours and async communication to make cross-timezone collaboration seamless.

Question 8

How do I track project progress?

Accepted Answer

Every client gets access to a shared project dashboard (Notion or Linear depending on project type), weekly Loom video updates, and a dedicated Slack or WhatsApp channel. You'll never be left wondering what's happening.

Question 9

Can I see examples of your past work?

Accepted Answer

Yes — head to our Projects page for case studies with results, tech stacks, and screenshots. We can also share additional private case studies on request during the scoping call, including NDA-protected client work.

Question 10

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept bank transfers (SWIFT/SEPA), Wise, PayPal, and crypto (USDT/USDC). For larger projects we typically structure payments in milestones — 30% upfront, remainder on delivery milestones.

Question 11

What tech stack do you use for web development?

Accepted Answer

Our primary stack is Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and PostgreSQL/Supabase. For mobile we use React Native. We're also comfortable with Laravel, Node.js, and custom API integrations depending on project needs.

Question 12

Will I own the code after the project?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Once the project is fully paid, you own 100% of the codebase, assets, and IP. We hand over everything — repos, credentials, documentation — no strings attached.

Question 13

Do you offer post-launch support and maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer monthly retainer packages for ongoing support, feature additions, and performance monitoring. We can also do one-off fixes — whatever suits your needs best.

Question 14

How do you handle revisions and scope changes?

Accepted Answer

We include up to 2 rounds of revisions per milestone in all packages. Scope changes beyond the original brief are handled transparently — we'll quote any additions before touching them so there are no surprise invoices.

Question 15

Do you build mobile apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build cross-platform mobile apps using React Native, which lets us target both iOS and Android from a single codebase. For projects requiring native performance, we can also scope native Swift or Kotlin development.

Question 16

How do you handle deployment and hosting?

Accepted Answer

We deploy to Vercel, AWS, Railway, or your preferred cloud provider. All deployments include CI/CD pipelines, environment separation (dev/staging/prod), and SSL. We can manage infrastructure long-term or hand it over to your team.

Question 17

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly integrate with third-party APIs — CRMs like HubSpot/Salesforce, payment gateways (Stripe, Paddle), ERPs, shipping providers, and internal databases. If there's an API, we can connect to it.

Question 18

What does your QA process look like?

Accepted Answer

Every feature goes through manual QA before delivery. For larger projects we set up automated testing (Jest, Playwright, Cypress) and run cross-browser/cross-device checks. We aim for zero regression bugs at launch.

Question 19

How do you ensure the product is performant?

Accepted Answer

Performance is baked in from the start — code splitting, image optimization, caching strategies, lazy loading, and CDN usage. We target a Lighthouse score above 90 on all deliverables and fix any regressions before handover.

Question 20

Can you work with our existing dev team?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We're comfortable plugging into existing teams as an extension — whether that's taking ownership of a feature, doing code reviews, or contributing to an open PR queue. We follow your conventions and Git workflow.

Question 21

Can you build a Shopify store from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — from custom theme development and product setup to payment gateways, shipping rules, and third-party app integrations. We build stores that are fast, conversion-optimized, and easy for you to manage.

Question 22

Do you work on existing Shopify stores or only new ones?

Accepted Answer

Both. We frequently take over existing stores to optimize speed, fix conversion leaks, redesign sections, or migrate from older themes to a modern headless setup.

Question 23

Can you help with Shopify Plus?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have experience with Shopify Plus features including custom checkout extensions, B2B portals, multistore setups, and advanced automation via Shopify Flow.

Question 24

Do you build headless Shopify storefronts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build headless storefronts using Next.js with the Shopify Storefront API or Hydrogen. Headless gives you full design freedom, faster performance, and the ability to power multiple channels from one Shopify backend.

Question 25

Can you help migrate from WooCommerce or BigCommerce to Shopify?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle full platform migrations including product data, customer records, order history, URL redirects, and theme rebuild. We minimize downtime and make the transition as smooth as possible.

Question 26

Can you build custom Shopify apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If an off-the-shelf app doesn't exist or is too expensive at scale, we build custom Shopify apps — public or private — using Shopify's App Bridge, Admin API, and Webhooks. We've built custom inventory tools, loyalty systems, and B2B pricing apps.

Question 27

Can you build custom AI tools or chatbots for my business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build RAG-powered chatbots, internal AI assistants, AI-enhanced dashboards, and custom automation workflows using OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source models. If you can describe the problem, we can likely build the solution.

Question 28

How do you stay up to date with AI changes?

Accepted Answer

The AI space moves fast — we know. Our team actively tests new models, follows research releases, and participates in developer communities so we're building with current tools, not last year's.

Question 29

Can you automate our internal business workflows with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build automation pipelines using tools like n8n, Make, Zapier, and custom Python scripts combined with LLMs. Common use cases: automated data entry, document processing, lead qualification, and customer support triage.

Question 30

What is a RAG system and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is a technique that lets AI answer questions using your own documents, knowledge base, or database — rather than just relying on its training data. If you want an AI that knows your products, policies, or internal data, you likely need RAG.

Question 31

Is my data safe when using AI tools you build?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We follow data privacy best practices — we never send sensitive customer data to third-party LLMs without explicit consent. For high-compliance clients, we can deploy self-hosted open-source models (LLaMA, Mistral) so data never leaves your infrastructure.
