What clients say

Don't take our word for it

★★★★★
We scoped a full CRM replacement in under 3 minutes. The same scope doc would have cost us $8k and 3 weeks from a traditional agency. Then they built the whole thing in a week.
MC
Marcus Chen
Founder, PropTrack
★★★★★
Forgework delivered our customer portal in 4 days. Stripe integration, email notifications, role-based access — it worked out of the box. I've paid agencies $40k for worse.
SO
Sarah Okonkwo
COO, Renua Health
★★★★★
The scope document alone was worth it. Every edge case, every integration, every risk — documented before a single line of code. No agency has ever given me that level of clarity upfront.

Common questions

Everything you want to know
before submitting a brief

Can I talk to someone before I pay? +
Yes. Submit your brief first — it's free and takes 2 minutes. You'll instantly get a full technical scope with timeline and price. If you want to discuss it before paying, reply to the scope email and a human will respond within a few hours. There's no pressure and no sales call required.
What's actually included in the price? +
Everything needed to ship production-ready software: architecture design, full-stack development, testing & QA, database setup, deployment to your hosting of choice, and all source code with full IP transfer. No hidden fees, no hourly overruns, no "that's out of scope" surprises. The price you see is the price you pay.
Is my data secure? +
Yes. Your project brief and scope data are stored encrypted and never shared with third parties. We use industry-standard AES-256 encryption for all stored data. Our infrastructure runs on enterprise-grade cloud providers with SOC 2 compliance. Your source code is delivered directly to you — we don't retain copies after handoff.
How long does a project take? +
Most projects are scoped within minutes and building begins the same day you purchase. Timeline depends on scope: Kickstart packages (MVP, Phase 1 only) typically deliver in 3–7 days. Full Build packages ship complete projects in 1–3 weeks. The Scale package includes 3 months of ongoing iteration after initial delivery. You'll see your specific estimate in the scope we generate from your brief.
What if I'm not satisfied? +
100% money-back guarantee if we don't deliver what was scoped. We stand behind our work completely. If the delivered software doesn't match the approved scope, you get a full refund — no questions, no negotiation. We've built this guarantee into our model because we're confident in what we ship.
Do I own the code? +
Yes, 100%. You receive full source code with complete ownership. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no ongoing dependency on Forgework. The code is yours to host wherever you want, modify however you need, and hand off to any developer.
What kinds of projects can you build? +
Web applications, internal tools, APIs, dashboards, SaaS products, customer portals, booking systems, e-commerce stores, data pipelines, and more. Our AI agents are strongest with full-stack web projects. We're transparent in the scope if something falls outside what we can deliver — you only pay if we're confident we can build it.
What if my project is bigger than the packages? +
Large projects are scoped in phases. The Kickstart package delivers your MVP (Phase 1). You can then purchase Full Build for the remaining phases. For enterprise-scale projects or ongoing development, the Scale package covers 3 months of active iteration. Complex projects ($50k+ traditional agency value) are well within our scope — just submit your brief and we'll show you exactly how we'd break it down.

Common questions

What happens after I pay?

We start building within 24 hours. You'll get a project dashboard with real-time progress updates, milestone notifications, and direct access to your build team.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

If we don't deliver on the agreed scope, you get a full refund. No questions, no hassle. We've shipped 47+ projects — we don't take jobs we can't finish.

Do I really own the code?

100%. On delivery you receive the full codebase, all credentials, and full IP transfer. We have zero ongoing control or access.

How is this different from hiring a freelancer?

Fixed scope, fixed price, no hourly surprises. A full AI-powered engineering team — not one person context-switching between 12 clients.
