A Free 30-Minute Technology Consultation
The free consultation is a 30-minute online session with the FortuneCode team. We learn about your business and the problem you want to solve, and suggest the best fit: a website, store, app, system or AI automation, or sometimes an off-the-shelf tool that needs no development at all. It suits business owners, managers and anyone with an idea that is not fully formed yet. There is no commitment and nothing to pay. After the session you receive a written summary of our recommendation, then a written quote within 24 hours setting out the scope, the timeline and what drives the cost. Book a time that suits you on our booking page.

What you get
30 focused minutes
Enough time to understand the problem and suggest a clear direction, without long meetings that go nowhere.
Online, in Saudi time
A video call at the time you pick on the booking page, from your office or your phone.
Someone who understands tech and business
You speak with someone who can estimate the solution and timeline, not a salesperson reading a script.
An honest recommendation
If an off-the-shelf tool or a smaller first phase fits better, we say so plainly.
A written summary afterwards
What we understood, the solution we suggest and the next steps, sent after the meeting.
A quote within 24 hours
A written offer setting out the scope, timeline and payments tied to deliverables.
Your idea stays confidential
We treat what you share as confidential, and sign an NDA before the session on request.
No commitment
The consultation is completely free and does not bind you to a contract or a deposit.
What happens in the 30 minutes?
The session is structured so you leave with something useful even if you never work with us. We start by asking about your business and how things work today, because a good technical solution starts with understanding the work, not with a list of features.
- First minutes: your business, your team and how the process runs today
- Then the problem: exactly where time, money or customers are being lost
- Then the options: website, app, system, automation or an off-the-shelf tool, with the pros and cons of each
- Then a rough estimate: the suggested first phase, its approximate timeline and what drives its cost
- Last minutes: your questions, and the next step if you want one
Who is the free consultation for?
The session is designed for decision makers in companies and organisations: an owner who wants a website, store or app; a manager looking for an ERP, CRM or HR system; or a department that wants to automate repetitive work or put an AI assistant on WhatsApp to answer customers.
It also suits people who do not yet know exactly what they need. Many clients start the session with "our orders are a mess" or "staff waste their time on reports", and finish it with a clear first step and a rough timeline.
There is no minimum project size to book. What matters is a real business problem worth solving, and someone in the session who can describe it. If your project turns out to be outside what we do, we tell you so plainly and point you to the right kind of provider.
- Company websites, online stores and landing pages
- Mobile apps for customers, sales reps and field technicians
- ERP, CRM, HR, inventory and quotation systems
- Automation and AI assistants on WhatsApp and your website
- ZATCA (Fatoora) e-invoicing integration and local payment gateways
What to prepare, and what to ask us
You do not need a requirements document or technical knowledge. But a little preparation makes the 30 minutes far more useful, and makes the quote you receive afterwards more accurate.
The session is your chance to assess us as much as we assess your project. Do not hesitate to ask the hard questions; how they are answered tells you a lot about the people you will work with for months.
Our answers to these questions are written into the contract, not just spoken: the code and accounts belong to you, payments are staged and tied to deliverables, the delivery date is written down and we deliver on time, guaranteed, technical support after launch is fast, and you follow progress weekly in the client portal.
- The problem in two sentences: what is bothering you today?
- Who will use the solution: staff, customers, sales reps, or all of them?
- Examples of websites or apps you like, or dislike
- Current systems we need to integrate with, such as accounting software, a payment gateway or ZATCA
- When you need the solution, and a rough budget range if you have one
- Files, screens or paper forms you use now
- Whose name will the code, domain and accounts be in?
- How are payments split, and what do I receive for each one?
- What happens if delivery slips past the written date?
- Who is responsible for my project, and how do I follow progress each week?
- What does post-launch technical support cover, and how fast is the response?
- What could push the cost up later, and how is any change approved?
What do you receive after the session?
After the meeting you receive a written summary of what we understood, the solution we recommend and why. If the project is clear enough, a written quote follows within 24 hours setting out the scope, timeline, delivery stages and the payment tied to each stage, and confirming that the code, accounts and domain belong to your company.
If the project is large or still unclear, such as a system spanning several departments, we suggest a paid discovery workshop whose fee is credited against the project if you go ahead, because pricing a large project from a single call means surprises later for both of us.
Why do we offer it for free?
Because the biggest worries companies have when choosing a development partner are: will they understand me? Will they disappear after the first payment? Will they be late? Thirty minutes is enough to judge for yourself how we think, how quickly we respond and how clear we are, before you spend a single riyal.
It helps us too: we would rather know from the start whether a project is right for us, and build our offer on real understanding rather than guesswork.
How to book your session
Pick a time that suits you on our meeting booking page (/en/meeting) and add a line about your project. You will receive a confirmation and the meeting link, and a reminder before the session. We work in Saudi time; if you cannot find a suitable slot, message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange another one.
Prefer writing to meeting? Send a description of your project on WhatsApp, and we will reply with the questions we need answered, then with a quote. What matters is starting with a small, clear step.

Frequently asked questions
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The 30-minute session is completely free and does not commit you to any contract or deposit. Afterwards you receive a written summary, and a quote within 24 hours if the project is clear, and the decision is yours. Many companies also use the session to review quotes they received from other vendors, which is entirely welcome.
How do I book the consultation?
On our meeting booking page (/en/meeting): choose the day and time that suit you and add a line about your project, and you will receive a confirmation and the meeting link. You can also message us on WhatsApp to arrange a different time. We work around your schedule, and if several people from your team will attend, send their names so they receive the same link.
What should I prepare before the meeting?
A two-sentence description of the problem, who will use the solution, examples of websites or apps you like, the systems we need to integrate with, and when you need the solution. You do not need a requirements document or technical knowledge. If you have a quote from another vendor or an earlier document, send it before the session so the time goes on discussion rather than explanation.
Can I get a price during the session?
In the session we give you a rough estimate for the first phase and what drives its cost. The exact price comes in writing within 24 hours after we review what we discussed, because a number improvised on a call usually changes later. The written quote sets out the scope, timeline and payments tied to deliverables, so you can compare it with any other offer knowing exactly what you are paying for.
Is my idea safe if I share it?
Yes. We treat everything you share as confidential, and sign an NDA before the session if you ask. In the first session you can also describe the idea in general terms without sensitive details. We never use anything you share on another project or show it to anyone, whether or not you work with us.
Is the meeting in person or online?
Online, by video call in Saudi time, and you can join from your phone. This is how we serve companies across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, with daily WhatsApp follow-up throughout the project if we work together. You can share your screen to show your current system or files during the session, which saves a lot of explanation.
Who joins the session from your side?
Someone who understands technology and how businesses work, and can estimate the solution and timeline, not a salesperson reading a script. If the project needs specialist input, such as AI or ZATCA integration, we arrange it in the session or straight after. We prefer that the decision maker, or the person who knows the day-to-day details, joins from your side, because it makes the recommendation more accurate.
What if my project is not clear yet?
That is normal, and it is exactly why the session exists. We help you define the smallest, clearest first phase. If the project is large and complex, we suggest a paid discovery workshop whose fee is credited against the project when you go ahead. A small, clear first phase is always better than a large, vague project, because it gives you a tangible result quickly and reveals the next step.
Will you recommend an off-the-shelf solution if it fits better?
Yes. If existing software or a store platform solves your problem for less, we say so plainly. The goal of the session is for you to leave with the right decision, not for us to sell you custom development you do not need. We would rather you start with the right solution, even a small one, because a client who trusts our advice today comes back when they genuinely need a custom system.
