Frequently Asked Questions
General
Bella Tech is a software development and AI company. We design, build, and deploy custom software — from web and mobile applications to AI-powered platforms and cloud infrastructure. We work with startups, growing businesses, and enterprises across industries.
We're based in Indianapolis, Indiana, but we work with clients across the US and globally. Our team operates both in-office and remotely, and we're set up for seamless collaboration regardless of location.
We've built solutions for healthcare, fintech, retail, legal services, education, logistics, and SaaS companies. Our approach is industry-agnostic — if you have a problem that software can solve, we can help.
Process
It starts with a conversation. We learn about your idea, your goals, and your constraints. From there, we scope the project, define milestones, and present a proposal with timeline and investment. Once aligned, we kick off with a discovery sprint to nail down architecture and design before building.
An MVP typically takes 8-14 weeks depending on complexity. A full-featured product can take 3-6 months. We work in 2-week sprints with demos at the end of each one, so you see progress continuously — not just at the end.
Both. We're comfortable inheriting existing projects, refactoring legacy code, or building greenfield. We'll assess what you have, recommend the best path forward, and be honest about whether a rebuild or incremental improvement makes more sense.
AI & Technology
We build custom AI models, integrate large language models (LLMs) into products, develop NLP and computer vision systems, create predictive analytics engines, and design intelligent automation workflows. We work with OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models, and custom-trained models depending on the use case.
We choose the right tools for each project. Our most common stack includes React/Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend, Node.js or Python on the backend, PostgreSQL for databases, and AWS for cloud infrastructure. For AI/ML, we use Python with PyTorch, LangChain, and vector databases like Pinecone or pgvector.
Absolutely. We specialize in embedding AI into existing products — adding intelligent search, automated classification, content generation, predictive analytics, or conversational interfaces without rebuilding your application from scratch.
Pricing
Project costs depend on scope, complexity, and timeline. A focused MVP typically starts around $25,000-$50,000. Larger, enterprise-grade platforms range from $75,000-$250,000+. We provide detailed estimates after a discovery session and are transparent about costs at every stage.
Yes. We offer maintenance and support packages that include bug fixes, performance monitoring, security updates, and feature iterations. Most clients continue working with us after launch because the product keeps evolving based on user feedback and business needs.
We offer both models. Fixed-price works well for clearly defined projects with firm scope. Time-and-materials is better for complex, evolving products where flexibility matters. We'll recommend the model that makes the most sense for your situation.
