Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, just email us – we love talking shop.

General Questions

What exactly is dropt.beer?

We’re a creative agency that believes business should be as experimental and crafted as great beer. We offer AI development, marketing, web/mobile development, and ongoing support – all with a non-corporate, human-first approach.

Think of us as your business partners who happen to love beer and experimentation.

Do you actually drink beer while working?

Sometimes! But dropt.beer is more about the philosophy than the beverage. Beer represents connection, celebration, and experimentation – values we bring to every project.

That said, we’re not opposed to celebratory beers when we hit milestones with our clients.

Who do you work with?

We work with both B2B and B2C clients – startups, established businesses, heritage brands, e-commerce, fashion, perfume, tech companies, and anyone who values creativity and authenticity.

If you’re passionate about what you do and tired of cookie-cutter agency work, we’re probably a good fit.

Where are you located?

We’re a distributed team working remotely, which means we can work with clients anywhere. Distance doesn’t matter when you have good communication and shared goals.

Services & Process

What services do you offer?

We specialize in four main areas:

AI Development & Consultation – Custom AI solutions, strategy, and implementation

Marketing & Digital Marketing – Brand strategy, content, social media, SEO, paid ads, and more

Web & Mobile Development – Websites, web apps, mobile apps (iOS/Android), and e-commerce

AI Applications & Support – Deployment, maintenance, updates, and ongoing support for AI systems

Do I need all your services or can I pick just one?

You can absolutely pick just one! Need only marketing help? Great. Just want us to build an app? Perfect. Want the whole package? Even better.

We’re flexible and work with you based on your actual needs, not what we want to sell.

What’s your typical process?

1. Discovery – We talk, understand your needs, and determine if we’re a good fit

2. Proposal – We outline approach, timeline, and cost

3. Execution – We do the work, with regular check-ins and updates

4. Delivery – We deliver the finished product

5. Support – We stick around to ensure everything works (if you want us to)

How long does a typical project take?

It depends on the scope. A simple website might take 2-4 weeks. A complex AI system could take 3-6 months. A marketing campaign might be ongoing.

We’ll give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout.

Do you work with tight deadlines?

Yes, we’ve handled urgent projects before. However, we’re honest about what’s realistic. If your timeline is impossible, we’ll tell you – and might suggest alternatives.

Rush projects may cost more due to the focused resources required.

Pricing & Payment

How much do you charge?

It varies based on project scope, complexity, and timeline. We don’t have one-size-fits-all pricing because every project is different.

After our initial conversation, we’ll provide a detailed proposal with clear pricing. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Do you work on hourly rates or fixed projects?

Both! For well-defined projects, we prefer fixed pricing so you know exactly what you’ll pay. For ongoing work or evolving requirements, hourly or retainer arrangements make more sense.

We’ll recommend what works best for your situation.

What are your payment terms?

Typically, we require a deposit to start (usually 30-50%), progress payments during the project, and final payment upon completion.

For ongoing work, we invoice monthly. We’re flexible and can discuss terms that work for both of us.

Do you offer payment plans?

For larger projects, yes. We understand not everyone can pay everything upfront, and we’re open to discussing payment structures that work for your budget.

Working Together

How do we communicate during the project?

Email, video calls, Slack, whatever works for you. We adapt to your preferred communication style and schedule regular check-ins to keep you in the loop.

We believe in over-communication rather than leaving you wondering what’s happening.

Will I have a dedicated contact person?

Yes! You’ll have a primary contact who manages your project and coordinates with our team. No bouncing between different people or repeating yourself.

What if I’m not happy with the work?

We include revision rounds in all our projects, and we work with you until you’re satisfied. Our goal is your success, not just completing a task.

If there’s ever an issue, we address it head-on with honest communication and solutions.

Do you sign NDAs?

Absolutely. We respect confidentiality and are happy to sign NDAs before discussing sensitive information or proprietary ideas.

Can we meet in person?

We’re primarily remote, but we can arrange in-person meetings for local clients or important project kickoffs. Let’s discuss what makes sense for your project.

Technical Questions

What technologies do you use?

We use modern, proven technologies based on project needs: React, Vue, Node.js, Python, WordPress, React Native, Flutter, and more.

We choose the right tool for the job, not whatever’s trendy.

Will I own the code/work you create?

Yes! Upon final payment, you own all the custom work we create for you – code, designs, content, everything. It’s yours.

Do you provide hosting and domain services?

We can help you set up hosting and domains, but we typically recommend you own these directly through providers like AWS, Google Cloud, or traditional hosting companies.

This gives you control and avoids vendor lock-in.

What happens after the project is done?

We offer ongoing support and maintenance if you want it. Or we can hand everything over and you never hear from us again (until you need us).

Many clients keep us on retainer for updates, improvements, and new features.

Still Have Questions?

Can’t find what you’re looking for? No problem. Send us an email and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
