FAQ: The Questions You Really Meant to Ask.
You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers. Whether you’re curious about how we work, what we charge, or why we do things the way we do, this is your go-to. Honest answers that help you understand how Goji Labs builds digital products the right way.
Billing, Pricing & Maintenance
After launch, you receive a maintenance document detailing each task, who completed it, time spent, and status. This ensures complete visibility into how your hours are used.
We use a blended rate that covers strategy, design, development, QA, and project management. You’re only billed for the time spent building your product and achieving project outcomes.
We assess the update, build it on staging, test it, verify mobile compatibility, then deploy it to production. Each step is logged with clear hour tracking to maintain full transparency.
Most clients begin with 10–30 hours per month following launch and scale down to 3–10 hours once the product stabilizes. You can adjust hours monthly based on your needs.
Your designer will create the updated asset, you’ll approve it, and then our development team will implement it. Updates can be covered under maintenance hours or billed separately.
Goji Labs offers many hosting and maintenance solutions that are customized to fit your needs. Setting up a recurrent maintenance package guarantees that we have resources set aside for you at a reduced rate.
