FAQ
Asked first, every time.
Don't see yours here? Send us the question — a principal engineer will reply within 24 hours.
Yes. We support both legacy CEP and modern UXP architectures, so your plugin works across older and current Adobe releases.
End to end. We prepare assets, documentation, and handle the review process for Adobe Exchange, AppSource, and Chrome Web Store.
Absolutely. We build secure API bridges so your plugin communicates with internal services while respecting platform sandbox restrictions.
We offer retainer-based support to keep plugins compatible as host platforms release new versions and deprecate old APIs.
Apparel design automation uses Photoshop and Illustrator plugins for sports merchandise customisation. Web-to-print is InDesign Server-based — variable data publishing, template engines, and automated print-ready output. They are distinct practices.
Yes. We build Manifest V3 extensions with secure OAuth, content scripts, and background workers — published to the Chrome Web Store with ongoing updates.
Yes. We build ISV-grade managed packages with LWC components, Apex logic, and security review preparation for AppExchange listing.
We offer fixed-price, time-and-materials, and dedicated-team pricing. We recommend the model that fits your stage and risk tolerance.
You do. All intellectual property created during the engagement belongs to you, full stop.
We ensure security by enforcing strict TLS 1.2/1.3 encryption, implementing OAuth 2.0 or JWT for authentication, and securely managing API keys within environment variables or dedicated key vaults, never hardcoding credentials.
