Common questions
The things most people ask before sending a project our way. If you have something else on your mind, the contact page is the fastest way to reach us.
- Where is StratBit based and who do you work with?
- We are a small studio based in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, in the Philippines. We work with hospitality operators, retailers, SMBs, and founders across the Philippines and beyond. Most engagements run remotely — we have shipped projects for clients without ever leaving the office, and the timezone gap with the US, AU, and EU is something we have spent years working with, not around.
- What kinds of projects do you usually take on?
- Three buckets. Marketing sites in Next.js or WordPress — fast, well-designed, easy for your team to maintain. E-commerce stores on WooCommerce or Shopify with real payment integration (Stripe, PayMongo) for the Philippine market. And custom software — internal dashboards, admin tools, AI integrations, and the bespoke web apps you only build when off-the-shelf has run out of road.
- How long does a typical project take, and what does it cost?
- Marketing sites usually run 4–10 weeks. E-commerce stores 6–12 weeks. Custom software starts at 4 weeks for a tight scope and runs longer for larger builds. Pricing is project-based, not hourly — once we have scoped the work in discovery, you get a fixed price and a timeline. For ongoing care (uptime, updates, security), we offer a monthly retainer.
- What is your tech stack, and can you work with what we already have?
- Our defaults are Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Postgres for new builds; WordPress and WooCommerce when content ownership and team maintainability matter more than raw speed; and Shopify when a client wants to skip the storefront engineering entirely. But we are not religious about it — if you already run on a stack we know (Laravel, Django, Rails, plain PHP, Vue), we are happy to extend rather than rewrite.
- Do you offer maintenance and support after launch?
- Yes. Every build ships with a 30-day care window included. After that, most clients move onto a monthly retainer that covers uptime monitoring, security patches, dependency updates, backups, and a budget of hours for changes. We are also happy to do one-off rescue work on sites built by other agencies — assessments, security audits, performance fixes, and migrations.
- How do I start a project with StratBit?
- Send a message via the contact page with a sentence or two about what you are trying to build. We will reply within one working day, set up a 30-minute call to understand the problem, and follow up with a scoped proposal and timeline if it looks like a fit. No sales decks, no boilerplate — just a clear plan and a price.
