What clients ask
A few common questions and answers on what to expect when working with us. If you want to know more, just ask.
What kinds of products does Aster Lab build?
We design and build SaaS web apps, mobile apps, and product websites to help take early ideas from concept to launch.
Do we handle both design and development?
Yes. Design and engineering work together from day one, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between designers and engineers.
How does a typical project run?
We start with a short discovery phase to understand your users and goals, then move through design and development in small increments. You see working software early and often.
What does a project cost?
We don't publish a rate card as everything depends on the scope. After an initial call we can send a proposal with a defined scope and price for the first milestone, so you know exactly what you're committing to before anything starts.
Do we work with an existing product or team?
Absolutely. While we specialize in zero-to-one builds, we also help teams rethink an existing product, design and ship new features, or add design and engineering capacity alongside an in-house team.
What are you working on?
Tell us about your idea or product: what it is, who it's for, and what stage it's at. We can help you figure out what your next milestone could include.
