An approach to the development cycle

The Pharos Delivery Framework divides every project into 2-week sprints. After each sprint there is a retrospective of the work done, planning for the next sprint, a report of the work done and a plan for the next sprint. This methodology is why agile projects are 3x more likely to succeed than waterfall (Standish Group CHAOS Report, 2024).
  1. Team Assembly

    Our company starts and assembles an entire project specialists with the perfect blend of skills and experience to start the work.

  2. MVP

    We’ll design, build, and launch your MVP, ensuring it meets the core requirements of your software solution.

  3. Production

    We’ll create a complete software solution that is custom-made to meet your exact specifications.

  4. Ongoing

    Continuous Support

    Our company will be right there with you, keeping your software solution running smoothly, fixing issues, and rolling out updates.

    A custom software development company is a firm that designs, builds and maintains software tailored to a specific business’s needs, as opposed to off-the-shelf products. Custom software addresses unique workflows, integrations and scalability requirements that generic tools cannot. According to Grand View Research (2024), the global custom software development market is valued at over $35 billion and is projected to grow at a 22.3% CAGR through 2030. Pharos Production is a custom software development company founded in 2013, with a team of 90+ engineers delivering solutions across blockchain, FinTech, healthcare and 15 other industries.

    Custom software development costs vary based on project scope and complexity. At Pharos Production, typical project ranges are: MVP development ($10,000-$25,000), suitable for startups validating a product idea; full-fledged production ($25,000-$50,000), for established businesses scaling a proven concept; and full-cycle development ($50,000-$80,000+), for complex enterprise-grade systems. These ranges include architecture design, development, QA testing and deployment. Final pricing depends on technology stack, number of integrations and engagement model (staff augmentation, dedicated team or project outsourcing).

    Development timelines depend on scope and complexity. At Pharos Production, a typical MVP takes 2-4 months, a production-ready application takes 4-8 months and a complex enterprise system can take 8-12+ months. We use an agile methodology with 2-week sprints, delivering working increments after each sprint. Every sprint includes a retrospective, progress report and planning session for the next iteration. This approach ensures transparency and allows businesses to launch faster by prioritizing high-impact features first. Get a timeline estimate for your project.

    Hiring a software development company offers faster time-to-market, lower upfront costs and access to specialized expertise without long-term employment commitments. According to Deloitte’s 2024 Global Outsourcing Survey, 57% of companies outsource software development to access skills they cannot hire internally.

    Factor In-house team Software development company
    Time to assemble 3-6 months (recruiting + onboarding) 1-2 weeks
    Upfront cost High (salaries, benefits, equipment) Lower (project-based pricing)
    Specialized expertise Limited to who you can hire locally Access to 90+ engineers across blockchain, AI, FinTech
    Scalability Slow (each new hire takes months) Fast (scale up or down per sprint)
    Long-term commitment Full-time employment contracts Flexible engagement models
    Risk High if key engineers leave Company ensures continuity and knowledge transfer

    For businesses that need blockchain, AI or high-load architecture expertise, outsourcing to a specialized firm like Pharos Production reduces risk and accelerates delivery.

    Pharos Production focuses on mid-to-large custom software projects with budgets starting at $10,000. We do not take on template-based websites, WordPress theme customization, or short-term contracts under one month. We also do not provide non-technical staffing (marketing, sales or design-only roles). Our strongest fit is blockchain, FinTech and healthcare projects where security, compliance and high-load architecture are critical. For smaller projects or MVPs under $10,000, we recommend exploring freelance platforms or no-code tools as a more cost-effective starting point.

    We use agile with 2-week sprints because it reduces the risk of building features that miss the mark. Each sprint ends with a working demo, a retrospective and a plan for the next iteration.

    This means clients see progress every 14 days and can adjust priorities based on real results, not assumptions. According to the Standish Group CHAOS Report (2024), agile projects are 3x more likely to succeed than waterfall projects. We chose this approach after years of experience showing that rigid, fixed-scope contracts lead to scope creep, missed deadlines and products that do not match market needs by launch day.

    Custom development is not the right choice in every situation. You should not hire a custom software company if: your problem is fully solved by an existing SaaS product (e.g. Shopify for e-commerce, Salesforce for CRM); your budget is under $10,000 and timeline is under 4 weeks; you need a simple landing page or marketing website (WordPress or Webflow is faster and cheaper); or you are still validating the idea and have not spoken to potential users yet.

    In these cases, off-the-shelf tools or no-code platforms offer better ROI. Custom development makes sense when you need unique workflows, regulatory compliance, high-load architecture or competitive differentiation that packaged software cannot provide.
