How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope, but a straightforward template-based site starts in the low hundreds of USD and custom builds go up from there. We send a fixed quote after a short scoping call, so there are no surprises.

How long does a project take?
A template site typically takes 2–4 weeks. A custom website is 6–10 weeks. Software builds are broken into stages and quoted per stage. Retainer work runs monthly.

Is Inkframe really a solo studio?
Yes. Charmaine designs, builds and manages every project. That means fewer handoffs, faster decisions and one accountable person. It also means we're deliberate about how many projects we take at once.

Do you work with clients outside Zimbabwe?
Yes — the studio is Zimbabwe-based but works with clients across Southern Africa. Everything is remote-friendly, quoted in USD or ZAR.
05How do you handle payments?

How do you handle payments?
50% deposit to start, 50% on delivery for smaller projects. Larger builds are broken into milestone invoices. Retainers are billed monthly in advance.

What if I don't know what I need yet?
