Overview

Custom web applications, SaaS MVPs, client portals and internal tools — scoped in milestones, built on maintainable stacks and handed over with documentation. Projects for New York run remotely with a fixed daily call window — 08:00–11:00 your time (18:30–21:30 IST). Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

United States-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in New York have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

State privacy laws (California CCPA/CPRA and a growing list of other states): There is no single federal privacy law — COPPA covers children’s data, CAN-SPAM covers email and TCPA covers SMS.
Payment methods customers in the United States expect: Stripe, Square, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and Affirm / Klarna / Afterpay.
Interface and content languages: English and Spanish.

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.

Working hours: India ↔ New York

New York is on UTC−5 / UTC−4 (seasonal). IST is 9 h 30 min – 10 h 30 min ahead. There is little natural overlap, so a fixed call slot is agreed and work continues while you are offline. A daily call at 08:00–11:00 your time (18:30–21:30 IST) works year-round. Between calls you get written updates and a staging link that shows the latest build.

How long does a custom software project take?
