  How quickly can you take on Ruby on Rails projects?

  With our expertise in rapid application development, we can accelerate the development timeline and potentially reduce the time it takes. However, the exact timeframe will still depend on various factors, including the complexity of the tasks and the availability of developers. Usually, it takes around 2–3 weeks to start.

  Can I test your developers?

  Our developers can make a small test task for you to see whether they are the right fit for your undertaking.

  They are proficient in a wide range of programming languages, including some of the most popular programming languages today. This diverse skill set ensures that we can cater to your specific needs and deliver high-quality results. Ruby developers use extensive expertise to examine and improve code quality.

  Once the engagement has begun, the first two weeks of the Rails web development process are a test period. Within this period, you can decide whether to continue with the developer(s) we have assigned or replace them. All it takes is a one-day notice.

  The test period is paid in full as part of the engagement and only applies once at the beginning of the partnership.
