What you're actually trading, and what you're not
The honest pitch for hiring an India-based team isn't just "cheaper" — it's cheaper for a comparable skill level, because software salaries and overhead costs are genuinely lower here, not because corners get cut. What you give up is in-person meetings; what you gain, if the agency is set up for it, is a fixed price agreed upfront, daily written updates instead of relying on memory from a call, and a team that's awake and responsive during your afternoon and evening.
We work in Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Shopify/Liquid — the same stack whether the client is in Mohali or Michigan — and every project ships with SEO, schema, and performance basics configured before handover, not left for you to figure out later.
What it actually costs
| Project type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Marketing / brochure website | $600 – $1,500 |
| Custom Next.js / React web app | $1,500 – $6,000 |
| Shopify store (theme + apps + setup) | $800 – $3,000 |
| Ongoing retainer (support, features, SEO) | $400 – $1,200 / month |
Pricing is quoted after a short discovery call, once we understand actual scope — these ranges reflect typical projects, not a fixed menu. All quotes are fixed in USD before work starts.
India-based agency vs. a local US/UK agency
| Local US/UK agency | RC Tech Solutions (India) | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical cost for a comparable build | Higher — local salary overhead | Lower for the same skill level |
| Communication | In-person, business hours only | Async daily updates + overlap-hour calls |
| Time zone availability | Your business hours only | Available through your afternoon/evening |
| Code ownership | Varies by contract | Full ownership on completion, always |
Mistakes to avoid when outsourcing web development to India
Not getting a fixed-price, written scope of work before development starts — verbal agreements lead to scope disputes later.
Assuming zero time-zone overlap without checking — most India-based teams that work with US/UK clients shift their hours to create a real overlap window, not just email at 3am your time.
Not confirming code and domain ownership terms upfront, in writing — ask this before signing, not after the project ends.
Judging communication quality from the sales call alone — ask for a reference client in your own country/timezone who can speak to the actual working process.
Questions, answered
How do overlapping working hours actually work if your team is in India?+
IST is 9.5-10.5 hours ahead of US time zones and 4.5-5.5 hours ahead of the UK, depending on daylight saving. In practice, our afternoon (roughly 1pm-9pm IST) overlaps with US morning-to-midday and UK morning-to-evening — which is when we schedule calls and stay live for async messages.
How do payments and contracts work for an international client?+
We invoice in USD (or GBP/CAD on request) via international transfer, PayPal, or Wise, with a written scope of work and a fixed price agreed before development starts — the same fixed-price, no-scope-creep approach we use for domestic clients.
Will I actually own the code, domain, and hosting after the project?+
Yes — full ownership transfers to you at project completion. This is worth confirming with any agency in writing before you sign, since not every outsourced provider does this by default.
Why would I hire an India-based team instead of a local US/UK agency?+
Cost is the obvious reason — a comparable custom build typically costs meaningfully less than a US or UK agency quote — but the honest answer is also that you're trading some in-person convenience for a fixed-price, well-documented process. We make that trade work by over-communicating: daily async updates, recorded loom walkthroughs, and a single point of contact.
