Software Development in the US

If you are consumer facing in the US, build as though it does. Demand letters over inaccessible websites are routine and cheap to send, federal work brings Section 508 with it, and the Department of Justice rule under Title II sets WCAG 2.1 AA for state and local government entities on a timetable your counsel can confirm for your size band. We work to WCAG 2.2 AA and test with a screen reader rather than relying on an automated scan, because automated tools catch perhaps a third of real issues and the other two thirds are the ones that end up in a letter.

Nobody can promise you that, and a supplier who does is selling something. We have been building since 2021 and we maintain what we build, which is the honest version of the answer. The useful version is that it should not have to matter. The repository is in your GitHub organization, the domain and hosting accounts are in your company name, the stack is Next.js, Laravel, Flutter and Postgres rather than anything only we can read, and the handover document exists before you ask for it. If we vanished tomorrow, another agency could pick it up without needing to call us.

Yes to the NDA. Send your standard one and it comes back signed within 24 hours, before you describe the project in any detail. Yes to the MSA too, with the caveat that we read it properly rather than signing to be agreeable. The two clauses we usually come back on are unlimited liability, where we ask for a cap tied to the fees, and an IP clause drafted broadly enough to sweep in the internal tooling we bring to every project. Everything built for you transfers to you in full on final payment. We mark up those two and sign the rest.

Two in the afternoon in Chicago is past midnight here, half past midnight in summer and half past one in winter, so the truthful answer depends on what you are paying for. Monitoring does not keep our hours and the alert fires whatever the clock says. Whether a person is awake to act on it depends on your plan, because we are not a 24/7 on-call operation as standard, and we would rather tell you that while you are choosing a plan than while your checkout is down. Without out-of-hours cover written into the contract, the realistic answer is that it is picked up at the start of our day, which is the middle of your night, and you should price that in when you decide.

It designs, builds, and maintains software for other businesses: custom apps, web and SaaS products, mobile apps, e-commerce, and the backends behind them. A good one also handles scope, design, hosting, and support so you are not stitching solo developers together. buildbyravirai does all of that with a small senior team out of Noida, for clients in India and abroad.

Ask who writes the code and insist on talking to them before you sign. Ask for a written scope and a fixed price, not an open hourly meter. Ask whether the seniors on the sales call are the ones who will actually build it. With us you get direct access to the engineers, a flat quote in 24 hours, and the same small team from scope to launch.

It depends on scope, so we do not publish one-size ranges that fall apart on contact with a real brief. We write the scope down, quote one flat INR number against it, and get you the exact figure back within 24 hours. There are no surprise invoices and no per-hour meter. If you are a foreign parent company, we can invoice in USD to your entity. Our pricing page has more detail.

We are small on purpose. The team is founder and lead developer Ravi Rai plus a project manager, a designer, and an SEO specialist. Senior engineers do the work, you talk to them directly, and nobody is swapped for a junior after the sale. If a project needs more hands than we can staff well, we tell you that up front.

Yes. We work with clients in India and abroad, in the US, UK, Canada, and the UAE. We work remotely on written scopes and regular demos, so timezones have not been an issue. We quote in flat INR and can invoice in USD to a foreign parent entity if that is easier for your accounting.
