Everything clients ask us

A website in Nigeria typically costs between ₦400,000 and ₦900,000 at BDGroups Technologies. A simple business or landing site sits at the lower end, while a larger site with a CMS, blog, booking or payment integration sits higher. The final price depends on the number of pages, the design work involved, and any third-party integrations. Send us your requirements and we will give you a fixed quote before any work starts.

Building a web app usually costs between ₦900,000 and ₦2,500,000. Cost is driven by the number of user roles, dashboards and workflows, whether you need payments, real-time features or third-party APIs, and the amount of admin tooling required. A focused MVP costs far less than a full platform, so we often start with an MVP and grow it in phases.

A mobile app generally costs between ₦1,200,000 and ₦3,500,000. Building for both iOS and Android at once with a cross-platform codebase is cheaper than building each separately. Features like user accounts, in-app payments, chat, maps, push notifications and offline support each add to the total, so the scope you choose matters more than the platform.

An iOS app typically costs between ₦1,200,000 and ₦3,000,000. That covers design, development, testing on real devices, and submitting the app to the App Store for review. Apple also charges an annual developer account fee of about $99, which is separate from development. If you plan to launch on Android later, tell us upfront and we will build on a shared codebase to keep the second platform cheaper.

An Android app typically costs between ₦1,200,000 and ₦3,000,000, covering design, development, device testing and Google Play submission. Google charges a one-time developer registration fee of about $25. Android often needs testing across a wider spread of devices and screen sizes than iOS, which can affect timelines on more complex builds.

AI projects at BDGroups Technologies range from ₦2,000,000 to ₦5,000,000. A chatbot or AI assistant built on an existing model sits at the lower end, while custom data pipelines, document processing, recommendation systems or fine-tuned models sit higher. Note that AI products also carry ongoing model and hosting costs after launch, which we lay out clearly in the quote so there are no surprises.

Our quotes cover design, development, testing and launch. Third-party costs are billed separately and at cost: domain registration, hosting, SMS and email providers, payment gateway fees, Apple's $99 annual developer fee, Google Play's $25 one-time fee, and any paid APIs or AI model usage your product depends on. We list every one of these in the quote so you can see the true running cost before you commit.

No. Payment is split into milestones across the project rather than taken as a single lump sum, with a deposit to begin and the remainder tied to agreed stages such as design sign-off, development completion and launch. The exact split is set out in your quote before work starts.

Usually because the scope behind the number is different. A cheap quote often excludes design, testing, revisions, app store submission or post-launch support, and it may assume a template rather than a custom build. When comparing quotes, check what is actually included, who owns the code at the end, and what happens when something breaks after launch.

Often, yes — by reducing scope rather than reducing quality. We would rather build a smaller product properly than a large one badly. If your budget is tight we will help you identify the smallest version that still solves the problem, launch that, and add features later as the product earns its keep.

Most websites take two to six weeks from kickoff to launch. A single-page or small business site can be ready in around two weeks, while a larger site with a CMS, custom design work and integrations takes closer to six. The biggest variable is usually how quickly content, images and feedback come back from your side.

A simple app typically takes two to three months. Medium-complexity apps take three to six months, and large platforms can run six months or more. We usually aim for an MVP first so you have something real in users' hands early, then build on it, rather than disappearing for half a year before you see anything.

In our experience the three most common causes are late content or assets from the client side, slow feedback on designs, and scope added mid-build. App Store and Play Store review can also add a few days to a couple of weeks at the end. We flag these risks at the scoping stage and agree turnaround expectations on both sides so the timeline holds.

Sometimes, by cutting scope rather than cutting corners. We will tell you honestly what can be delivered by your date and what should be deferred to a second release. What we will not do is skip testing to hit a deadline, because that cost always comes back larger later.

Message us on WhatsApp at +2348106653031 or email info@bdgroups.cloud with a short description of what you want to build. We will ask a few questions, agree the scope, and send you a fixed quote and timeline. Nothing is charged and no work begins until you have approved that quote.

No. Plenty of our clients arrive with an idea rather than a specification. Part of what we do is scoping: working out what the product actually needs to do, what should be in the first version, and what can wait. If you can describe the problem you are solving and who has it, that is enough to start a conversation.

You get a direct line to the people building your product — usually a WhatsApp group or email thread, plus scheduled check-ins at each milestone. You will see working software as it is built rather than waiting for a reveal at the end, so problems surface early while they are still cheap to fix.

Small refinements are a normal part of the process and we expect them. Changes that meaningfully expand scope — new screens, new integrations, a new user role — are quoted separately before we build them, so the budget never moves without you agreeing to it first.

Yes. We take on existing projects as well as new ones, whether that means adding features, fixing an app someone else built, or working alongside your in-house developers. For an existing codebase we usually start with a short review so we can tell you honestly what shape it is in before committing to a timeline.

Launch is the start, not the end. We monitor for issues, apply security patches and platform updates, and stay available for fixes and new features. Ongoing support is offered as a maintenance arrangement, and the terms are agreed with you rather than assumed.

Yes. We are based in Nigeria and work with clients worldwide. Most collaboration happens over WhatsApp, email and scheduled calls, and we arrange overlapping hours so there is always a window when we are both online.

You do. On full payment, ownership of the source code, designs and related intellectual property transfers to you, and this is written into the agreement rather than left to assumption. This matters more than most clients realise: without it stated explicitly in a contract, the default legal position in many jurisdictions leaves ownership with whoever wrote the code.

Yes. You receive the full source code, typically in a repository under your own account, along with the accounts and credentials for any services your product depends on. You are never locked into us as a supplier — if you want to move to another team later, everything they need goes with you.

Yes, gladly, and before you share the details of your idea if you would prefer. Send us your NDA or ask us to provide one. We treat client work as confidential by default regardless of whether an NDA is in place.

Security is built in rather than bolted on: encrypted connections throughout, hashed credentials, authentication and access controls appropriate to the product, and no unnecessary collection of personal data. For products handling payments or health information we design to the standards those domains require and tell you plainly what obligations sit with you as the data owner.

Tell us early. Because work is delivered in milestones with your sign-off at each stage, there is no scenario where you first see the product at the end and discover it is wrong. If something is not right, we fix it. Anything that is genuinely our error is corrected at our cost.

For most products cross-platform is the better trade: one codebase, both app stores, meaningfully lower cost, and performance that is indistinguishable for the vast majority of apps. Native is worth the extra cost when you depend heavily on device hardware, need advanced graphics, or are building something performance-critical like a game. We will recommend the one that fits your product rather than the one that bills more.

Yes, if that is what you need. We generally build from a shared codebase so your app runs on both platforms without doubling the cost. If you only want to launch on one platform first, we will structure the build so adding the second later is straightforward rather than a rewrite.

Yes. We prepare the store listings, screenshots and metadata, and manage the submission and review process for both Apple and Google. Review typically takes a few days but can occasionally take longer, and if a submission is rejected we handle the fixes and resubmission.

Yes. Everything we build is responsive by default and tested on real devices, not just resized in a browser. Performance is treated as a requirement rather than an afterthought, because slow sites lose visitors and rank worse in search.

Yes, where it makes sense. We can build your site on a CMS so you can edit text, images, blog posts and products without coming back to us, and we walk you through how it works at handover. For sites that rarely change we sometimes recommend skipping the CMS to keep the build simpler and cheaper.

We build SEO fundamentals into every site as standard: clean semantic markup, structured data, fast load times, mobile-friendly layouts, sensible URLs, sitemaps and metadata. That is the technical foundation ranking depends on. Ongoing content marketing and link building are a separate, longer-term effort we can advise on.

We can set both up for you, registered in your name and under your account so you retain control. Hosting and domain fees are paid to those providers directly at cost rather than marked up by us. If you already have hosting we will work with it, or tell you honestly if it is not up to the job.

We work with modern, well-supported tools — React and Next.js on the web, cross-platform frameworks for mobile, and established cloud infrastructure for hosting and data. We deliberately avoid niche technology that would make your product hard for anyone else to maintain later.
