Answers to the most common questions before getting started.
Yes. We openly use a managed fleet of specialised AI agents for development support, code analysis, security-oriented checks and diagnostics, informed by years of experience working with AI.
Experienced human developers remain responsible for checking and approving every change before delivery. Learn more at /ai-development.
Yes. AI tools can make building a basic site or prototype much cheaper and more accessible. For a simple personal project, that may be all you need.
Business software has other requirements that might not be obvious from a working demo: security and privacy, database permissions, hosting and deployment, diagnosing faults, testing real user journeys and accessible design.
JoinWebForge uses AI to assist delivery, but experienced developers take responsibility for the technical decisions, review the implementation and approve the work. No development approach can promise a fault-free result.
No. We do not simply open ChatGPT and ask it to take over. Our specialist agents work within deliberately managed, supervised workflows. Developers with years of software engineering experience inspect the results and make the final release decisions.
Experienced human software developers. AI can help implement changes and run diagnostics, but human eyes review the code, testing and relevant security checks before the work is approved for delivery.
Our AI agents do not independently authorise releases or replace the final human decision.
We treat confidential information as something that requires deliberate safeguards. What can be shared with external AI services depends on the project and applicable agreements, and using AI does not change our responsibility to protect client data.
For eligible, agreed-scope projects, we aim to launch within 7 days after receiving all necessary content and access.
The agreed initial project scope determines what is included at launch.
The first 30 days have no subscription charge. After that, the selected Launch, Growth or Pro monthly price applies.
The exact dates, ongoing charges and minimum term are presented during checkout and in your service agreement.
There is a 3-month minimum term to cover the initial build and setup.
After that, everything is flexible month-to-month.
After the first 3 months, you are free to cancel at any time.
