Get in touch
How much does a project cost?

Every project is scoped individually. After a short discovery conversation you'll receive a clear proposal with scope, timeline and investment - in plain language, with no surprises.

How long does a typical project take?

It depends on scope. A focused website can be delivered in a matter of weeks, while larger applications are built and released in phases. Your proposal includes a realistic timeline.

Who owns the finished work?

You do. When the project is complete, the code, designs and content are yours - with documentation so your team, or anyone you choose, can support them.

Can you work with our existing systems?

Yes. Much of our work connects to tools organizations already rely on - Microsoft 365, SharePoint, ServiceNow, databases and third-party APIs.

Do you offer support after launch?

Yes. Ongoing support, maintenance and improvements are available through a partnership arrangement, sized to what you actually need.

Do you work with clients outside Virginia?

Yes. NIVAKO is based in Arlington, Virginia and works with clients both locally and remotely.
