App and software development for Sydney, working your afternoons
Our Srinagar team starts work in the Sydney afternoon and carries on into the evening. We build mobile apps, SaaS products and business software for Sydney companies that want a larger team than local rates allow.
Codemites is headquartered in Srinagar, India, with a second office in Mississauga, Canada. We have no office in Sydney; we work with clients here remotely. Our working day starts in the Sydney afternoon.
Sydney companies usually find us after pricing a local build. We are not the cheapest option, and we will not pretend the time difference is zero. What we offer is a full team for the budget of one or two local hires, working the second half of your day.
In practice, that means you send feedback in the morning, we discuss it in an early-afternoon call, and the changes are ready to review next morning.
How the day splits
When Sydney moves to daylight saving, everything shifts an hour later on your clock.
4 hr 30 min
of your 8-hour day overlaps with at least one of our offices (3 hr 30 min in the other half of the year, when clocks change).

Sending data offshore, properly
This is the question Sydney clients ask first.
APP 8
You must take reasonable steps to make sure an overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles, and you remain accountable. We agree in writing how we handle your data, and we can host in Sydney so personal information is not copied offshore.

Questions from Sydney businesses
When are you available in Sydney time?
From about 2:30 pm in Australian standard time, or 3:30 pm during daylight saving, through the evening. We schedule calls in the afternoon.
Is offshore development cheaper?
Usually, per hour. We price by milestone, so compare the total cost of each delivered stage rather than hourly rates.

Yes, under your developer accounts, including store listings, review responses and updates.
