Questions Before You Build

F5 Works currently offers fixed-price packages starting from £2,999. The right package depends on functionality, number of user types, integrations and overall complexity.

That depends on the project. Services such as hosting, maps, payment processing, messaging or AI APIs may carry their own charges. We identify relevant third-party dependencies during scoping so they are visible.

Ideas often evolve once the product starts taking shape. If a requested change sits outside the agreed scope, we will explain the likely impact on cost and timing before additional work begins.

No. You can come to us with an early idea, a rough feature list, designs or a fully developed brief. We will meet you at the stage you are at and help clarify what is needed next.

Yes. This is one of the most important parts of our process. We help separate essential launch features from ideas that can sensibly move into a later release.

It depends on the product. After understanding your requirements, we’ll provide a realistic development plan and expected launch window. We aim to get you seeing working software early rather than waiting until the end.

Our proposition is full client ownership of the agreed deliverables, including source code and design files, subject to your agreement and any third-party components or licences used.

Yes. Where appropriate, confidentiality arrangements can be put in place before commercially sensitive details are discussed.

F5 Works manages projects from the UK. You have a clear English-speaking point of contact responsible for communication and coordination across the build.

No. F5 Works combines UK-based project management with distributed development capability. The benefit to the client is one managed service rather than having to recruit and coordinate individual specialists.

Yes. We deliver apps for iOS and Android, including cross-platform solutions where appropriate.

Yes. Many mobile products need a web-based admin area or operational dashboard behind them. Where required, this can form part of the product scope.

Yes. We’ll first review the existing code, infrastructure and documentation before recommending whether to continue with it, improve it or replace particular elements.

Store submission is part of the current F5 Works proposition. We prepare the necessary build and submission material and support the review process.

Store approval is ultimately controlled by Apple and Google. Where a submission receives feedback or is rejected, we’ll review the reason and address issues within the agreed project/support scope before resubmission.

Current F5 packages include six months’ maintenance after launch, after which ongoing support options can be agreed.

Yes. For many new products, we’d rather launch a focused first version and develop additional functionality based on what customers actually use.
