Questions? We’re Here To Help
Want to learn more about how we work and how we’ll achieve your
business objectives?
What information do I need to have prepared to get a proposal ?
We can discuss your project at any stage of its lifecycle, but to provide a quote we need details regarding the scope and functionality of the project so that we can estimate the effort required to design and develop it. This could include a list of functionalities, user types, screens, integrations & more. Our approach to scoping projects involves user story writing, which we can assist with or you can supply – This supports AGILE development and establishing project scope. If you require an NDA, please have this ready to be signed by us. It’s helpful to have an understanding of your budget range at the outset as well.
What is an MVP (Minimum Viable Product)?
MVPs are an initial version of the software that has a limited set of key features, allowing them to go to market and achieve their first set of clients and receive customer feedback, helping to accomplish the projects initial goals.
When developing Software, the first thing to consider is ROI (Return on Investment), at Microknot we highly recommend building an MVP to test the market/users, before investing in the next phase and adding more features and adjustments.
What is Agile software development?
Most of our projects are managed using an Agile development methodology, working in short sprints, validating the application and requirements along the way. This allows us to de-risk the project, enhance collaboration and rapidly achieve a solution that meets your businesses’ requirements. To summarise, Agile ensures:
- Enhanced collaboration
- Increased customer satisfaction
- Improved project visibility
- Reduced project risk
- Competitive edge when creating new software
How much does it cost for software development?
It’s challenging to provide an exact figure without a clear project brief. However, on average, a simple MVP can cost around $20k and up, while full software product development can range from $50k to $5M, depending on the project’s scope. With both onshore and offshore software development teams, our pricing is always at the lower end of the scale. We also offer a free consultation at our Sydney office. Please send through your NDA, and let’s schedule a face-to-face meeting to discuss further.
Do you have an inhouse team?
Microknot leverages an in-house team which includes highly experienced developers that are continually trained in Australian Standards. Our team members are specialised in their area of expertise, such as Software Consultants, Software Architects, UI/UX Designers, Frontend Developers, Backend Developers, DevOps Engineers, Software Testers and Data Analysts.
How long does it take to build software?
The timeline for software development in Sydney depends on the project complexity and features and also your budget. Microknot follows AGILE methodologies to deliver highly efficient custom software solutions in an iterative style. While a simple software project may take 10 to 12 weeks, larger and more complex software solutions can take several months or even a year to complete. Microknot always recommends doing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) first which is often quicker and helps you to understand the feedback from real time product users.

How do I find a reliable custom software development company in Sydney?
Finding a reliable software development company in Sydney is fairly straightforward. Always request a face to face meeting at their office to get a sense of their business size. Depending on your project requirements, you’ll need to decide whether to work with a boutique software company or a larger company. If your project budget is under 5M to 10M, it’s often best to work with a boutique company to ensure high quality outcomes, along with smooth communication and best service. Additionally, ask for case studies, details about the project cycle of previous projects, and client reference contacts.
What technology stack do you use?
Our developers are experts at using Microsoft .NET and Azure cloud native ecosystems. We use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular, C#, REST APIs and Microsoft SQL Server to build web applications, Xamarin for mobile apps and Power BI for data analytics and reporting. We are well experienced in implementing a variety of software architectures including microservices in a cloud native environment.
Can you integrate into 3rd party applications?
Yes. We can integrate existing applications with 3rd party APIs, develop bespoke business software that integrates securely with existing 3rd party APIs or create APIs for your organisation to use with various solutions. We can integrate with thousands of well-known software’s.
Do you upgrade legacy software?
Yes. We have experience in upgrading a multitude of legacy software products for various Australian businesses in different industries and with varying degrees of functionality. Legacy software upgrades are generally considered to be more complex compared to a new software product development. Choosing a company with previous experience is important for your project’s success. Book a free consultation without a Sydney based software Architect to discuss your Legacy software upgrade project.
Do you support projects seeking government grants?
Yes. We have experience in working with businesses that apply for government grants such as NSW MVP grant and R&D grants. In the case that you don’t know how to navigate the application process, we have partnered with various Grant Writers in Australia that we can connect you with to support your project.
Do you provide ongoing support after software deployment?
Yes. Ongoing support is crucial for any software development project to maintain its quality as well as develop and release new features. After deployment, we offer continued maintenance and improvements to ensure it remains efficient, secure, up-to-date and aligned with your business requirements. We also take care of the cloud infrastructure as part of ongoing maintenance to give you peace of mind.
Our software developers in Sydney are committed to providing long-term value relationships through dedicated post-launch support.
What’s your billing model?
Fixed Fees – Suitable for small engagements which have fully defined business requirements that will not change prior to completion.
Time & Material – We give an indicative estimate when we start the project and bill at the end of each sprint for the tasks completed in that time.
