Book a strategy callWe're 100% in-house. Many Australian agencies offshore their development to cut costs, but every designer and engineer at Moonward works together in our Brisbane office. That makes us more efficient and delivers higher quality, with no time-zone delays, no lost handovers and direct access to the people building your product. Every project starts with a Discovery Phase to lock in scope, cost and timeline, then moves into our build, launch and growth phases. Backed by 10 years and 150+ product launches, we build software that grows your business.
We typically work with three types of clients. First, business owners who want to grow through a new product or cut costs with custom internal tools. Second, product and digital leaders in established companies who need extra capacity or specialist skills to deliver their roadmap. Third, funded start-ups that need a senior team to build, launch and hit the milestones that get them to their next raise. What they all have in common is a clear ambition to grow, and they want a partner invested in making that happen.
Yes. While our team is based in Brisbane, we work with clients across Australia and New Zealand. Most of our collaboration happens through video calls, shared project tools and regular sprint demos, so you're involved every step of the way no matter where you are. For key milestones like kick-off and Discovery workshops, we're happy to meet in person or welcome you to our Brisbane office.
Yes. Many of our clients already have developers or a product team and bring us in to add capacity or skills they don't have in-house, like AI, mobile or product design. We plug in as an extension of your team, working within your roadmap, tools and processes, whether that's Jira, GitHub or your own sprint cadence. Our code is clean, documented and built to your standards, so your team can own and maintain it with confidence.
It depends on the size and complexity of your product, but most first versions launch within two to four months. Every project starts with our four-week Discovery Phase, where we define the scope and give you a clear timeline before development begins. From there, we build in two-week sprints, so you'll see working software every fortnight rather than waiting until the end. Larger platforms can take longer, and we'll often recommend launching a focused first version sooner, then adding features based on real customer feedback.
The cost depends on the size and complexity of your product. At Moonward, most projects fall between $60,000 and $150,000, with larger platforms costing more. Every project starts with our fixed-price Discovery Phase, where we define exactly what needs to be built and give you a fixed cost for development before any code is written. That means no blowouts and no surprises, just a clear investment tied to a clear outcome. From there, development is delivered in two-week sprints, so you can see exactly where your money is going.
Yes. We regularly take over products built by other agencies, freelancers or in-house teams, including apps built with AI tools like Lovable, Bolt and Cursor. We start with a full code and security audit so you know exactly what you're working with. Then we give you a clear roadmap to stabilise, improve and scale your product. Whether it needs a few fixes or a full rebuild, we manage the handover from your previous provider so nothing gets lost and your customers never notice the change.
