What makes Seypro different?
Engineering-first. No account managers or project coordinators — you work directly with senior developers, designers, and strategists. Fast execution, technical excellence, zero fluff.
Do I own the code you write?
Yes. Every line of code, every design file, every API key, every deployment configuration. Full transfer on delivery. No recurring license fees, no vendor lock-in, no dependency on us to keep your system running.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We audit the current state — architecture, dependencies, technical debt, security posture — then propose a path forward. Whether that means refactoring, migrating to a modern stack, or building new features on top of what exists.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
Yes. Project-based work is typically 30% upfront, 40% at mid-point, 30% on delivery. Retainers are billed monthly in advance. This protects both sides and keeps momentum.
What technologies do you specialize in?
Modern stack: React/Next.js, Vue/Nuxt frontends. Node.js, Python backends. PostgreSQL, MongoDB databases. AWS, Vercel cloud deployment with CI/CD.
What AI services do you provide for businesses?
We build custom AI chatbots for customer service, AI-powered content generation for SEO and marketing, predictive analytics for business intelligence, workflow automation, machine learning models for recommendations, and intelligent search systems. From simple FAQ automation to complex decision engines.
How long does SEO take to show results?
3-6 months for meaningful traffic growth. Quick wins (technical fixes) in 4-8 weeks. Competitive keywords: 6-12 months. SEO is long-term investment.
What security services do you provide?
Penetration testing, security audits, compliance (GDPR, PCI-DSS), incident response, security training, ongoing monitoring. Preventive and reactive.
What is a fractional executive?
Senior C-level professional working part-time/project basis. Get executive expertise and strategic leadership without full-time salary and benefits.
How long does a website take to build?
Prototypes are live in 48-72 hours. Full custom websites typically take 3-6 weeks depending on complexity, number of pages, and integrations required. We scope timelines before starting.
What's the minimum ad spend you recommend?
It depends on your market and goals. We recommend enough budget to generate meaningful data for optimization — this varies by platform and competition. We will recommend a realistic budget during the initial consultation.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. Offices in Seychelles, South Africa & UAE. Clients across finance, hospitality, e-commerce, SaaS worldwide. Time zone flexibility, proven remote delivery.
What's your typical project timeline?
MVPs/websites: 4-8 weeks. Full applications: 3-6 months. Enterprise systems: 6-12 months. Agile sprints with working software every 2 weeks.
How is this different from hiring an internal team?
No recruiting. No onboarding. No managing. You get senior engineers from day one, across disciplines — frontend, backend, DevOps, AI, security. We scale up or down with the project. You own the output, not the overhead.
What happens after launch?
30 days of post-launch support included with every project. After that, most clients move to a monthly retainer for ongoing development, monitoring, and iteration. You can also walk away with everything — the code, the docs, the infrastructure.
Can I switch between engagement models?
Yes. Many clients start project-based, then move to a retainer for ongoing work. Or begin with a Fractional CTO engagement to define the roadmap, then transition to project-based delivery. We adapt to what makes sense.
What happens if the project scope changes mid-build?
Scope changes happen. We document the delta, price it, and get written approval before building. No surprise invoices. If scope shrinks, the price adjusts down too.
Do you provide ongoing support after launch?
Yes. 30 days post-launch support included. Then monthly retainers for maintenance, updates, features, and technical support — scoped to your needs.
How do you handle security and data protection?
Security-first: encrypted transmission, OAuth 2.0/JWT auth, RBAC, regular audits, GDPR compliance, secure cloud infrastructure. All code security-reviewed before deployment.
Will AI replace my customer service team?
No - AI augments, not replaces. Handles the majority of routine inquiries (FAQs, bookings, tracking). Your team focuses on complex issues and relationships. Force multiplication.
Do you guarantee page 1 rankings?
No one can ethically guarantee rankings - Google has 200+ factors. We guarantee process: technical excellence, quality content, ethical link building. Results follow.
Do you handle local SEO for Seychelles businesses?
Yes — Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, location pages, local link building. High-impact for businesses targeting local search.
Are you GDPR compliant?
Yes. We help clients achieve GDPR compliance: data mapping, privacy policies, consent management, DPIAs, breach procedures. Critical for EU citizen data.
How is this different from consulting?
Fractional execs embed with your team, make decisions, drive execution. Consultants provide recommendations and leave. We have skin in the game, accountable for results.
Do you use templates or is everything custom?
Everything is custom. No WordPress themes, no drag-and-drop builders. We design in Figma and build with modern frameworks (Nuxt, Next.js, React). You own every line of code.
Do I own the design and code?
Yes — 100% ownership. Design files, source code, domain, hosting credentials. Everything is yours. No vendor lock-in, no recurring license fees to keep your site alive.
How quickly will we see results from paid ads?
Initial data: 7-14 days. Meaningful optimization: 30-45 days. Full campaign maturity: 90 days. Paid ads are faster than SEO but require continuous optimization.
How do you price your services?
Every project gets a custom proposal. We offer project-based (milestone payments), monthly retainers, and fractional CTO engagements. Scope, timeline, and cost are agreed before work begins. Reach out for a detailed estimate.
How do you handle security and compliance?
Security is built into the development process, not bolted on after. Encrypted data, OAuth/JWT auth, RBAC, OWASP-aligned code review, and infrastructure hardened before deployment. We handle GDPR, PCI-DSS, and EU AI Act compliance for clients in regulated industries.
Do you offer payment plans or financing?
Milestone-based payments are built into every project engagement. For larger builds, we can structure 4-6 payment milestones across the timeline. We do not offer credit or deferred payment.
Can you work with our existing development team?
Absolutely. We augment teams, provide technical leadership, conduct code reviews, or own specific modules. Seamless integration with your workflow.
How long does AI implementation take?
Basic chatbot: 2-3 weeks. Advanced with integrations: 4-8 weeks. Predictive analytics: 6-12 weeks. Includes training, testing, deployment.
What is technical SEO?
Foundation: site speed, mobile responsiveness, structured data, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical URLs, HTTPS, Core Web Vitals. Without this, content/links don't matter.
How often should we conduct security audits?
Quarterly for high-risk (finance, healthcare, e-commerce). Annually minimum for all. After major changes or before launches. Compliance may dictate frequency.
What time commitment is required?
10-40 hours/month depending on needs. Structured as dedicated days per week, project sprints, or strategic sessions. Fully customizable.
What about hosting and maintenance?
Hosting is included — SSL, CDN, automated backups, and security monitoring. Ongoing maintenance covers updates, performance tuning, and content changes. No surprise invoices.
Can you redesign an existing site?
Yes. We audit your current site, preserve SEO rankings and URL structure, then rebuild on a modern stack. Content migration, 301 redirects, and performance optimization are all handled.
Do you manage the ad spend or do we?
You control budget via your own ad accounts (Google Ads, Meta Business Manager). We manage strategy, creative, optimization, reporting. Full transparency, your data stays yours.
