Website & App Development FAQs

We offer 18 services in four groups. Websites: web design, web development and open source customization.

Yes. We build custom themes, plugins, modules and integrations, and improve speed and security for WordPress, Magento, Drupal and other open source platforms. We can also connect your platform with your CRM, ERP, payment and cloud tools. Extending what you already have usually costs less and gets you live sooner than building from scratch. See open source customization.

Yes. We build native Android apps for the Play Store and iPhone and iPad apps with support from design to App Store launch. If you want one app for both platforms, we build cross-platform apps from a single codebase with Flutter, React Native or other hybrid frameworks. We also build desktop applications.

Yes. We integrate ChatGPT and AI chatbots for customer support, content and workflow automation, and we build machine learning models, predictions and automation that turn your data into business value. See ChatGPT and chatbots and AI and machine learning. If you need AI specialists on your own team, you can also hire AI developers from us.

Yes. Our SEO service covers keyword research and on-page, off-page and technical SEO to help your business rank higher on Google.

Yes. We build IoT solutions with connected devices, sensors, cloud dashboards and apps; blockchain solutions such as smart contracts, tokenization and decentralized apps; and DevOps setups with CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure and automation that make releases faster and safer.

The price depends on the size and features of your project. Small jobs and changes are charged at US $25 per hour, and larger projects are quoted as a fixed price or billed in weekly or monthly milestones. A website quote can include template or design creation, content insertion, custom programming, database setup, domain and hosting support, website updates and theme changes.

We base every estimate on the time we expect the work to take, so the final amount is usually very close to the estimate. Before work begins, the estimate must be accepted in writing (email is fine) and a deposit paid, as described in our Terms and Conditions. Use our estimate form to get a quote.

Yes. Estimates are free and come with no obligation. Fill in our estimate form, call us or message us on WhatsApp, and we will review your requirements and send you an estimate or a quote.

A quote is a fixed price for the job. An estimate is a price range for the work. If you answer all the questions on the estimate form and give us as much detail as possible, we will usually send a quote. If many questions are left unanswered, we will send an estimate, and we may ask you for more information first. It is often easier to give an accurate quote when we can talk through the details together on a call or in a meeting.

Tell us whether you need a new website, a redesign or additions to your current site, the approximate number of pages, the features you need (such as a shopping cart, checkout, contact forms or a photo gallery), whether your content is ready, your deadline, and any websites whose style or features you like. Let us know if you also need help buying a domain or hosting. You can upload a document with the estimate form if that is easier.

Unless your quote says otherwise, a 30% deposit is required before work starts, and the balance is due within 10 days of the project being completed. Hardware, software, hosting and other out-of-pocket expenses are paid in full in advance. Invoices for updates, consulting, hosting and development are due within 10 days. Larger projects can be billed in weekly or monthly milestones. Full details are in our Terms and Conditions.

If you need something that was not in the original quote, we will first send you an estimate of the extra cost by email. If the work cannot be measured in advance, we keep accurate records of the time spent and bill it at US $25 per hour.

No. We work on paid projects only and do not accept equity or revenue share instead of payment. If you are a startup on a tight budget, talk to us: we can plan your website in phases so you can start small and add features as your business grows.

We follow four steps. 1. Discuss: we learn about your business, customers and goals, then send a free estimate. 2. Plan and design: we agree the pages, features and look, and share designs for your feedback before we build. 3. Build and test: our developers build it and test it on phones, tablets and computers. 4. Launch and support: we go live, help you get found on Google and stay on hand for updates and fixes.

We start as soon as we have everything we need from you, and we always give you a realistic timeline with your estimate. Simple websites can be ready in a few days, while larger websites and applications take a few weeks or more depending on the number of pages, features and how quickly content and feedback are provided.

After we share the first design draft, you can request changes, and a further set of changes is included in the project cost. If the first draft is not what you want, we will prepare a second and, if needed, a third draft within the scope of the project, as long as your design requirements are made clear. Extra drafts, and design changes after a design has been approved, are charged at US $25 per hour or by quotation. See our Terms and Conditions for the full details.

We start once we have the details listed in your quote, which usually include your company details, design preferences, the deposit, website text and images, and access to your domain and hosting if you already have them. Sending content and feedback quickly is the best way to keep your project on schedule.

Yes. Every website we design is fully responsive, so it automatically adapts to mobiles, tablets, laptops and large screens, and we test it on different devices and browsers before it goes live.

Every website we build runs on HTTPS with an SSL certificate, which encrypts data between your visitors and your website. Free SSL certificates are available on most hosting plans today, and paid certificates are available if you need extra validation. If your site accepts payments, we use a trusted payment gateway so card details are never stored on your server.

We also secure admin areas with strong passwords and restricted access, keep software and plugins up to date, and protect forms against spam. When we discuss your project, we will recommend the right level of security for your website. Please read the security terms in your estimate before accepting it.

Yes. You can start with a website, then add SEO, social media marketing, a mobile app or automation when your business is ready. If you are a startup on a tight budget, we can plan your project in phases so you can start small and add features as your business grows.

A domain name is the address of your website, the name people type into a browser to find you. This website's domain name is www.ekanshatechnologies.com. Before you can have a website you need a domain name and web hosting. Domain names come with different extensions such as .com, .in, .net or .org. Owning one extension does not give you the others, so www.ekanshatechnologies.com has no connection with www.ekanshatechnologies.net or www.ekanshatechnologies.org.

You can buy a domain from a domain registrar such as manage.shakyatechnologies.com. Search for the name you want, and if it is available, buy it like any other online purchase. The hard part is finding a good name that nobody else owns yet. Prices depend on the extension and on options such as privacy protection, but most domains cost roughly US $10 to $30 (about ₹800 to ₹2,500) per year. Many hosting plans include email, so you usually do not need to pay extra for it.

If you need help, our team can walk you through the purchase. We recommend that you always buy and keep the domain in your own name, because whoever controls the domain controls the website. We have seen businesses lose access to their own domain because someone else registered it for them and later could not be reached or asked for money to hand it over. Keeping the domain in your name avoids this.

Nameservers are a setting on your domain that tells the internet where your website is hosted, a bit like an entry in a phone book. When you buy a hosting plan, your host gives you its nameservers, and you (or we) add them to your domain. If you move to a new host, the nameservers are updated. If they are set incorrectly, visitors will not be able to reach your website.

A web host is a company that rents you space on a web server, a computer that is always connected to the internet and stores your website files. When someone visits your website, their browser requests the pages from the server, and the server sends them back to be displayed.

There is no single perfect host. Hosts differ in features, speed, support and server type (mostly Linux or Windows). Most of the websites we build work best on Linux hosting. We recommend manage.shakyatechnologies.com hosting for its features, multiple-domain support, speed and personal customer support, and we are happy to recommend the right plan for your website.

As with domains, we recommend that you buy the hosting plan in your own name. If you prefer, we can purchase hosting for you; in that case hosting fees are non-refundable, a service charge applies, and the hosting account is managed by our team.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and its secure version SFTP, is how website files are uploaded to your web host. It needs a username, a password and sometimes other details. If you bought your own hosting and we are working on your website, we will need these login details.

The most common reason is to set up a database or email for your website. Many important website settings live in the hosting control panel, and we may also need to contact your host's technical support on your behalf, which usually requires your account details. At the start of a project we will ask for hosting and control panel access so the work is not delayed later.

Yes. For 90 days after a project is completed, we fix coding and content errors free of charge, as long as the site files have not been changed by anyone else. After that, support, changes, repairs and maintenance are charged at US $25 per hour or by quotation. Faults caused by changes you make yourself, for example through a content management system, are not covered by the free fix period. See our Terms and Conditions for details.

If you are an existing client, open a support ticket to report an issue, request a change or ask about billing for a website, app or hosting account we look after. Choose the right department (Sales, Help, Billing or Others) so your ticket reaches the right team, and attach screenshots if they help explain the problem. Every request is logged and tracked until it is resolved.

We reply by email, usually within one working day, and keep you updated until the issue is resolved. For something urgent, such as your site being down, payments failing or a security concern, raise a High priority ticket and then call us on +91 95556 66375 (India) or +1 (848) 391-2176 (USA), or message us on WhatsApp.

High: your site is down, payments are failing or there is a security concern. Medium: something is broken but there is a workaround. Normal: updates, change requests and questions. Low: minor cosmetic issues.

A demo is a live walkthrough of about 30 to 45 minutes, by online video call, by phone with screen sharing, or in person at our Delhi office. We focus on the features your team will actually use and answer your questions on customisation, branding, hosting and timelines. After the demo you get a clear proposal. On request, we can also set up a trial login so your team can explore the product at its own pace.

Yes. Every product can be branded with your logo and colours, and we can add the extra features, reports or integrations your business needs. If none of our products fits, we can build a custom solution and send you a free, detailed estimate.

Full-time dedicated developers work only on your project for about 160 hours a month, with monthly billing, daily updates and weekly reports. Part-time developers work about 80 hours a month, with monthly billing. Hourly hiring lets you buy a block of hours and pay only for the hours worked, with timesheets for every task. You can switch between models as your needs change.

It depends on the role, the experience level and the hiring model you choose. Send us your requirements and we will reply with a clear monthly or hourly quote, with no hidden costs. Getting developer profiles is free and has no commitment.

Yes. We share profiles first, and you can interview the developers and give them a small test task before you decide. If a developer is not the right fit later, tell us and we will suggest another developer from our team.

You own it. All code, models, prompts and documents made for your project belong to you. We sign an NDA before you share project details, and an IP assignment if you need one.

Our developers work from our Delhi office in India, and we also have an office in Smyrna, Georgia, USA. We plan working hours so there is daily overlap with clients in India, the US, the UK, Europe and Australia.

In the first weeks you get a skill check, a mentor and training on the tools our team uses every day, such as Git, SQL, Figma, WordPress and Google Analytics. You then work on a live project with one main deliverable, such as a website module, an app screen, a dashboard or a marketing campaign, and meet your mentor every week. At the end you get a formal review, an internship certificate and a recommendation letter. Interns who consistently do great work may be offered a full-time role with us.
