Frequently Asked

Questions

Not sure how your team or organization might benefit from Mightybytes’ product development services? Here are the five most commonly asked questions we receive.

1. Is sustainable product development more expensive than regular product development?

Product development pricing depends on many different factors. By prioritizing sustainability throughout a project’s life cycle, you save time, money, and resources while also improving usability, clarity, and long-term governance.

However, if sustainability isn’t considered from the beginning, a more sustainable solution can end up costing more money due to refactoring. Accessibility is also riddled with examples of this. Successful projects consider sustainability and accessibility throughout.

2. Can I just hand our software project off to you?

Unfortunately, no. And you wouldn’t want to do that anyway. There are too many risks involved.

To guarantee success, we ask our clients to play an active and collaborative role in strategy, experience design, feature and component reviews, and quality assurance processes. This improves deliverables quality, helps everyone manage expectations, and creates consensus. That way, there are no surprises once you’re ready to launch.

3. Do you include hosting and/or maintenance?

We bundle twice-monthly, hands-on software maintenance and green hosting as a separate service to improve security, reduce risk, and foster long-term product resilience.

4. Do you use AI in the products you build?

AI has many known ethical and environmental challenges. It’s also not going anywhere. Mightybytes uses AI tools responsibly when the benefits outweigh the challenges. We also provide human oversight and never put our clients’ data at risk. For more information, read our Responsible AI Policy.

5. What makes this service ‘sustainable’?

Digital sustainability is about more than performant, efficient code. Mightybytes applies sustainability principles to an entire product’s life cycle, from strategy and green hosting to continuous improvement through performance optimization, energy reduction, and responsible data strategies.

This service is guided by the W3C’s Web Sustainability Guidelines, which we co-authored. We use our web sustainability tool Ecograder to help our clients track progress over time. And yes, we create lean, efficient code too.
