Working together
What kind of projects do you take on?
Cross-platform mobile apps built with Flutter or Kotlin Multiplatform, and the backends and APIs behind them. That covers a new product from scratch, a new feature set on an app that already exists, or taking a stalled codebase and getting it back to a releasable state.
We're a small team, so the sweet spot is a well-scoped project rather than an open-ended one. If what you need is outside that, we'll say so rather than stretch to fit.
Can you take over an app someone else built?
Yes, and it's a good deal of what we do. CPN UML came to us with a crash rate that made it barely usable, and an end-to-end refactor cut crashes by 60%. BigMart's CRM had drifted far enough behind on framework versions that maintenance was getting difficult, and we migrated it forward.
Inheriting a codebase usually starts with an audit, so you get an honest read on what's there before committing to a larger scope.
Who actually does the work?
VividLabs is a solo studio backed by a small freelance team. Prajwal, the founder, is on every project directly, and brings in trusted collaborators when a build needs more hands.
You will always know who is working on your project. Nothing gets quietly handed to someone you've never spoken to.
You're in Nepal. Does that work across time zones?
We work remotely from Kathmandu (UTC+5:45) and have delivered for clients in other time zones without it being an issue. We'll agree a regular overlap window for calls and stay reachable in writing outside it.
Every message to us gets a reply within two business days, wherever you are.
Pricing and timelines
How do you price work?
Three shapes, depending on what you need:
- Fixed-scope build: an agreed scope for an agreed price, quoted once we've talked the requirements through properly.
- Monthly retainer: ongoing development on a product that keeps moving.
- Advisory: an architecture review or codebase audit, run as a short fixed engagement.
So how much will my project cost?
It depends on scope, and any number quoted before understanding that scope would be fiction. What we will commit to is this: you get a firm number in writing before any work starts, and it doesn't move unless you change what you asked for. No hourly billing that quietly outgrows the estimate.
The fastest way to a real figure is a short call about what you're building.
How long does a project take?
Scope decides it, but for a sense of pace: ShramSansar, Nepal's official government job portal, went from architecture to a deployed production app in two months, against a fixed government deadline.
You'll get a timeline with the quote, and if something is going to slip you'll hear it from us early rather than at the deadline.
Ownership and confidentiality
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do. Full ownership of the source code and all intellectual property transfers to you on final payment. No licensing arrangement, and nothing held back.
We also work in your repository from day one rather than handing over a zip file at the end. You can see progress as it happens, and you are never locked out of your own project.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Send yours over and we'll sign it before you tell us anything sensitive. If you don't have one, we're comfortable talking at a high level first and putting an agreement in place before we go deeper.
After launch, and next steps
What happens after launch?
Bugs in what we delivered are fixed free for 30 days after launch. You don't have to buy a support package to get that.
Beyond that, most clients either move to a retainer for continuing development or simply come back when they need the next thing. Either is fine, and neither is a condition of the original build.
How do we get started?
Send us a note about what you're building. We'll reply within two business days, usually with a couple of questions, and set up a call if it looks like a fit. From there you get a scope and a firm quote before anything is committed.
Ready when you are.
Tell us what you're building and we'll get back to you within two business days.
