Can you pick up work started by another developer?

Yes. First we review the code and the documentation, if there is any, and assess whether the code is worth extending or whether part of it is better rewritten. We go through the findings with you before signing a contract. For this, we need access to the server, the code repository and a copy of the database.

Why can't you give us a development price straight away?

Because the price depends on the features, the integrations and the state of any existing code, and a ballpark guess is usually inaccurate. That's why we write up and assess the task free of charge, and then give you a fixed price that goes into the contract. If the task is large, you can start with a smaller first stage.

Can you change a WordPress plugin or Joomla module so that it works differently?

Yes, but usually not by editing the plugin or module files themselves – those changes would be lost when it's updated. We build the changes as a separate plugin or by using the system's own extension mechanisms, so the plugin or module can still be updated. If it's no longer supported, we suggest replacing it with another one or building a new one.

Will a system you build work on a phone?

Yes. We build web-based systems so that they run in a browser and adapt to phone and tablet screens, so there's no need to install an app. If you need an app from Google Play or the App Store, for example for working offline or for push notifications, we build it separately – from €2,900.

Who will maintain the system after launch?

We will, or a developer of your choice. For 12 months, we fix bugs in our code free of charge, and after that you can sign a maintenance contract: we update PHP and Laravel versions, monitor uptime and make backups. When the system is hosted with us, a VPS (hosting and maintenance) costs from €29/month.

Custom software development in Lithuania

Software development services cover building custom web-based systems, website features, modules and integrations when an off-the-shelf template or plugin isn't enough. Saitai.lt develops in PHP using the Laravel framework, and also builds WordPress and Joomla modules and API integrations. We've been building websites and systems since 1998, and we set the price after assessing the task. Timelines range from a few working days (fixes) to 4–12 weeks (custom systems).

Who it’s for

Your website needs a feature that no plugin offers: a price calculator, bookings that follow your rules or an order configurator.
A WordPress or Joomla module works almost the way you need, but it has to be adapted or fixed.
You need to connect your website, online store, CRM or accounting software so that data doesn't have to be retyped by hand.
Your staff need an internal system for managing orders, sites or documents – with login and access permissions.
Your customers or partners need a portal where they can see their orders, invoices or documents.
You've taken over a website or system built by another developer, and it needs fixing or extending.

When it’s not the right fit

The task can be solved by an off-the-shelf plugin or a subscription service (SaaS). In that case, we'll tell you which solution to choose, and no development is needed.
You're looking for a developer to work full-time at your company. We work on projects under contract, not as your employees.
You need a desktop application or other software that doesn't run in a browser. Our field is web systems and mobile apps.
The requirements aren't clear yet, but you need the result tomorrow. It's worth writing up the task first – we can help you do that in a free consultation.

Included

What you get

A task specification before any coding

We set out the features, screens, permissions and what isn't included in a document. We use it to estimate the price and timeline, and later to check the result.

WordPress and Joomla modules

Custom WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, and Joomla and VirtueMart extensions: a new feature, an integration or a fix to an existing module, without changing the system's core.

Custom web systems

Internal systems, customer portals and admin panels built with the Laravel framework – with login, roles and reports.

APIs and data exchange

REST and SOAP APIs, XML and CSV exchange, scheduled syncing and notifications when a data transfer fails.

Taking over existing code

We review another developer's code, write up what we find, and only then suggest what to fix, extend or rewrite.

Test environment

We deploy changes to a test environment first, so you can try them out without putting your live website or system at risk.

Version control

We keep the code in a Git repository, so every change is visible and an earlier version can be restored if needed.

12-month warranty

For 12 months after launch, we fix bugs in the code we've written free of charge.

Price

How much do software development services cost?

Price

On request

We set the price of development work after a free assessment of the task: we describe the features, calculate the scope of work and give you a fixed price and timeline. These go into the contract, so the price doesn't change unless the task does. A large project can be split into stages, each assessed separately.

Prices include all taxes – no VAT is added (we are not VAT-registered). The final price depends on the project: we put it and the timeline in the contract before work starts.

Get a quote

What the price depends on

The number and complexity of features: how many screens, rules, calculations and user roles are needed.
Whether a new system is being built or existing code changed – someone else's code has to be understood first.
How many external systems need connecting, and whether they have a documented API.
Whether data needs moving from an old system or spreadsheets.
What security, speed and load requirements apply, for example hundreds of users at once.
Whether design and a prototype are needed, or we're working from a mock-up you provide.

Additional costs

Custom systems are hosted separately from websites: a virtual private server (VPS), with hosting and maintenance, from €29/month, sized to the scope of the system. We can also install the system on your own server.
Fees for external services (paid APIs, licences, SMS or email delivery services) – at their providers' rates.
New modules after launch – under a separate quote, agreed in writing.

Timeline

How long does development work take?

A fix to an existing module or a new feature on a website usually takes 2–10 working days, a custom module 1–4 weeks, an integration from 2 working days (payments, shipping) to 6 weeks (custom API integration), and a custom system 4–12 weeks. We launch larger systems in stages, so you can start using the first part sooner.

Work	Example	Timeline
A fix or a small feature	a module bug, an extra form field, a new export format	2–10 working days
Module or plugin	price calculator, bookings, reporting module	1–4 weeks
Integration	payments, shipping, accounting software, supplier XML	2 working days – 6 weeks
CRM or accounting software	customers, orders, tasks, reports	2–8 weeks
Custom system or portal	customer portal, order management, several integrations	4–12 weeks, in stages

Process

How it works

Free consultation1–2 working days
We discuss what the system or feature has to do, who will use it and what it needs to connect to. If there's existing code, we review it.
Specification and fixed price2–5 working days
We describe the features, screens, permissions and integrations, as well as what isn't included in the first version. The price and timeline go into the contract, and we start once we receive the 50% deposit.
Prototype3–5 working days
We show you the main screens or the data structure before development and adjust them based on your feedback.
Development in stages1–10 weeks
Every 1–2 weeks, we show you what's been done, and you try out an interim version in a test environment.
Testing2–5 working days
We test the features, permissions, integrations and how everything works on different devices, and fix bugs before launch.
Launch and training1–2 working days
We move the system to the live server, hand over access details and a user guide, and show you how to use it.
Warranty and further development12 months
For 12 months, we fix bugs free of charge, and we assess new features separately.

Dependence on the vendor	updates are released by the developer	data and features sit on the vendor's platform	CRM code is handed over to you, code for other systems as per the contract
Best for	a standard feature	a standard process, when a monthly fee is acceptable	non-standard logic and integrations

Examples

Typical projects

A price calculator on a manufacturer's website

Situation: For example, a window and door manufacturer calculates customer prices in an Excel spreadsheet based on dimensions, materials and accessories, and receives enquiries from its website with no details at all.
Solution: A WordPress plugin with a calculator: the customer chooses the options and sees an estimated price, and the enquiry with all the selections goes to the sales manager by email. The administrator updates the price table themselves.
Result: More accurate enquiries, fewer calculations by hand and prices that can be changed without a developer.

A customer portal for a service company

Situation: For example, an equipment maintenance company emails invoices, completion certificates and inspection schedules to its customers, who keep asking for them to be sent again.
Solution: A Laravel portal where customers log in and see their equipment, completion certificates, invoices and upcoming inspections; the data comes from the company's system.
Result: Fewer repeat requests, and documents that customers can find themselves.

An inherited Joomla module

Situation: For example, a Joomla module built by another developer a few years ago doesn't work with a newer PHP version, so the website can't be updated.
Solution: We review the module's code and adapt it to the new PHP and Joomla versions or, if that's simpler, rewrite the module while keeping the data.
Result: A website that can be updated, and a module that can be maintained going forward.
