Question 1

How long does a build take?

Accepted Answer

Starter: 2 weeks. Business: 3-4 weeks. Premium: 5-7 weeks. We send weekly updates so you always know where we are. Lower end of each range assumes you respond within 1 business day on briefs and revisions.

Question 2

Who owns the code afterwards?

Accepted Answer

You do. The entire codebase is transferred on GitHub when the final invoice is paid. No lock-in.

Question 3

What if I'm not happy with the design?

Accepted Answer

We keep iterating until you're happy. The design is approved before we touch a single line of code, and we don't cap revisions — your sign-off is the only thing that moves us forward.

Question 4

Do I need Danish and English?

Accepted Answer

If you choose Business or Premium, yes — included by default. Browser auto-detection is built in.

Question 5

What about GDPR and cookies?

Accepted Answer

Cookie banner, privacy policy, and a data processing agreement are part of every package. We use no unnecessary tracking.

Question 6

What does it cost to maintain after launch?

Accepted Answer

You have two options. Pay-per-job: small updates from 250 DKK, larger work quoted upfront. Or monthly maintenance: flat price per month (typically 950–2,500 DKK depending on scope), no surprises. Hosting on Cloudflare is free. No retainer lock-in.

Question 7

I don't know SEO or the technical side — can you handle it all?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You don't need to know anything about SEO, hosting, domains, GDPR, or analytics. We set it all up, monitor it, and explain it in words you understand. You run your business; we run the website.

Question 8

Why not just Wix or Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Those are fine for hobby projects. For a real business that needs to rank, integrate with AI, and look professional — a custom Next.js site is in a different league.

Question 9

Who's behind RiverAI?

Accepted Answer

Family-run Danish ApS. Thomas builds and ships every site and AI automation. The other directors handle operations, finance, and client communications — so the business stays responsive even if Thomas is out for a week. You always talk to the person doing the work.

Question 10

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

Book a free 30-min call or order a free AI audit. Both are no-commitment.
