Question 1

How much does custom software development cost in Sri Lanka?

Accepted Answer

Custom software projects at IT Starter start from LKR 250,000 for a focused internal tool or dashboard, and scale to LKR 1,500,000+ for full SaaS products or multi-module enterprise systems. We provide a detailed estimate after a free scoping call.

Question 2

How long does custom software take to build?

Accepted Answer

Simple internal tools and dashboards typically take 4–8 weeks. Mid-complexity products with multiple user roles and integrations take 10–20 weeks. Large-scale platforms with complex workflows take 4–6 months. We agree milestones before starting.

Question 3

What technologies do you use for custom software?

Accepted Answer

We build backend systems with Laravel (PHP) and Node.js, and frontends with React. For databases we use MySQL and PostgreSQL. All systems are cloud-deployable and we integrate with third-party APIs as needed.

Question 4

Do I own the source code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Full source code ownership transfers to you on final payment. We also provide deployment documentation so you or any future developer can maintain and extend the system.

Question 5

Can you build on top of existing software or integrate with our current systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes — integration work is a large part of what we do. We connect custom software to existing CRMs, ERPs, payment gateways, and third-party APIs. We review your current setup first and plan the integration before writing any code.

Question 6

What happens after the software launches?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. After that, we offer monthly retainer packages covering bug fixes, feature additions, and system monitoring. Software requires ongoing maintenance — we can handle that for you.
