Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about code review services, process, and what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a code review include?

A comprehensive analysis covering security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, architectural issues, code quality, maintainability, and specific areas of concern you highlight. You receive a detailed written report with prioritized findings, specific code references, and actionable recommendations.

How long does a code review take?

Most reviews are completed within 3-5 business days, depending on codebase size and complexity. Urgent reviews can often be accommodated with prior arrangement. The quote will include a specific timeline based on your project.

How much does a code review cost?

Pricing depends on codebase size, complexity, and scope of review. After receiving details about your project, you'll get a fixed quote upfront—no surprises. Typical reviews range from small focused audits to comprehensive full-codebase analysis.

What size codebases can you review?

From small WordPress plugins and single applications to large enterprise codebases. The scope and pricing are tailored to your specific needs. For very large codebases, the review may focus on specific components or concern areas.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Client confidentiality is standard practice. NDAs are signed before any code access is provided. Your code and business logic remain completely protected.

How do you access my code?

Typically through private repository access (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) or secure file transfer. All code is reviewed in a secure environment and is never retained after the review is complete.

What technologies do you review?

Primary expertise in PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and SQL-based databases. Frameworks including Laravel, WordPress, React, Vue.js, Next.js, Node.js, Django, and more. Infrastructure reviews cover AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, VPS, and traditional hosting.

What do I receive after the review?

A detailed written report including: executive summary, critical security issues, performance findings, code quality assessment, architectural observations, prioritized recommendations, specific code references, and practical fix guidance. Follow-up clarification is included.

Can you fix the issues you find?

The primary service is review and recommendations. Implementation is typically handled by your team using the detailed guidance provided. For critical fixes or if you need implementation support, separate arrangements can be discussed.

What if I disagree with findings?

Every finding includes explanation and reasoning. If you have questions or disagree with any assessment, follow-up discussion is included to clarify the issue and consider your perspective or additional context.

Do you offer ongoing review services?

Yes. Some clients arrange regular reviews—monthly, quarterly, or tied to release cycles. This is especially valuable for growing applications or teams wanting continuous external validation.

Can you review code before we acquire a company?

Yes. Technical due diligence reviews assess code quality, technical debt, security posture, and maintenance burden before acquisition. This helps inform valuation and post-acquisition planning.

What's the difference between code review and security audit?

Code review is broader—covering quality, maintainability, architecture, and security. A security audit focuses specifically on vulnerabilities, authentication, data handling, and attack surface. Both are available separately or combined.

Do you review infrastructure and servers?

Yes. Infrastructure reviews cover server configuration, security hardening, performance optimization, caching, CDN setup, and deployment processes. This can be combined with code review or conducted separately.

How do I get started?

Use the contact form or email to describe your project, technology stack, and concerns. You'll receive a quote within 24-48 hours. Once approved, NDA is signed if needed, and we arrange secure code access.
