Our Story

From Two Founders in a Garage to a Full-Stack Studio

PixelForge Studio was founded in 2016 by two software engineers who were frustrated with the gap between what clients were promised and what they actually received. We built our reputation one honest project at a time, and today we're proud to be one of the most trusted app development firms in the country.

We're a fully US-based team. No offshore hand-offs, no mystery subcontractors. When you work with PixelForge, the people you meet on day one are the people building your product.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical project take?

Starter projects typically take 8–12 weeks. Growth-tier projects run 16–24 weeks. Enterprise timelines are scoped individually. We provide a detailed schedule during discovery.

What's your payment structure?

We work on a milestone-based payment schedule: 30% deposit on kickoff, progress payments tied to sprint milestones, and a final payment on delivery. No full upfront payment is ever required.

Will I own the source code?

Yes. Full source code ownership transfers to you upon final payment. You receive all repositories, assets, documentation, and credentials — no vendor lock-in.

Do you sign NDAs?

Absolutely. We sign mutual NDAs before any detailed project discussion, and all team members are bound by confidentiality agreements. Your IP is always protected.

Can you work with our existing tech team?

Yes. We regularly partner with in-house teams as a development accelerator or specialist group. We adapt to your tools, processes, and communication cadence.

What if my scope changes mid-project?

We use a formal change request process. Any scope changes are documented with a clear cost and timeline impact before work proceeds — no surprises on your invoice.

Refund Policy

Last updated: September 11, 2026

Google Ads Compliance: This Refund Policy is provided in accordance with Google's advertising transparency requirements. Advertisers offering services must clearly disclose their refund and cancellation terms.

Overview

PixelForge Studio LLC provides custom software development services. Because our work product is built specifically for each client, refund eligibility depends on the project phase at the time of any request.

Discovery & Proposal Phase

Initial consultations and discovery calls are provided free of charge with no commitment. If a paid discovery engagement is agreed upon separately, fees for completed discovery work are non-refundable.

Project Deposit

The initial project deposit (typically 30% of total project cost) is non-refundable once the project kickoff meeting has occurred and work has commenced. This deposit covers initial planning, team allocation, and onboarding activities.

Milestone Payments

Payments tied to completed milestones are non-refundable. If you cancel a project after a milestone is completed, you are responsible for payment for that milestone. We will deliver all completed work product to you upon cancellation.

Unsatisfactory Work

If work delivered does not meet the specifications outlined in the signed SOW, we will revise the work at no additional charge within the number of revision rounds specified in your contract. If we are unable to meet the agreed specifications after good-faith revision efforts, we will work with you to reach a fair resolution, which may include partial credit toward future work.

Cancellation by Client

You may cancel your project with 30 days' written notice. You will be invoiced for all work completed up to the effective cancellation date at the agreed hourly or milestone rate. Any overpayments will be refunded within 30 business days.

Cancellation by PixelForge Studio

We reserve the right to cancel a project for non-payment, breach of contract, or if proceeding with the project would violate our policies or applicable law. In such cases, we will refund any prepaid amounts for work not yet performed.

Contact for Refund Requests
