The 90+ PageSpeed Refund Guarantee

Every PandaCodeGen project ships with a written 90+ PageSpeed refund guarantee in the contract. The mechanics are simple. If the launch site does not score 90 or higher on Google PageSpeed Insights mobile, the deposit is refunded in full and PandaCodeGen does not bill the remaining 70 percent. After launch, if PageSpeed drops below 90 during the post-launch support window, PandaCodeGen re-optimizes at no charge until the guarantee is met. That window is 15 days on Starter and 1 month (30 days) on Growth, Scale, and Scale+. The 90 score is the contractual floor; typical achieved scores land in the 90s.

This is written into the SOW, not a marketing claim. Real client results back the guarantee: Panda Patches migrated from 64 to 90+ PageSpeed (LCP 5.8s to 0.8s). MyCustomPatches migrated from approximately 45 to 90+ (load time 3.2s to 0.7s).

Drops below 90 are rare because Next.js plus Vercel infrastructure is structurally hard to slow down without significant content additions. Most issues come from third-party scripts (Klaviyo popups, Hotjar, etc.) that PandaCodeGen advises on at launch.

Payment Structure

30 percent deposit upfront locks in the engineering sprint and timeline. The remaining 70 percent is due on launch day after three conditions are met: the site is live in production, the client has reviewed the finished product, and PageSpeed has been verified at 90 or higher. If the 90+ score is missed, the deposit is refunded in full — see the PageSpeed refund guarantee above for the complete mechanics.

No monthly retainers are required. No hidden setup fees. No markup on hosting. Vercel, Sanity, Cloudflare, and any third-party integrations (Klaviyo, Stripe) are billed direct to the client account.

All payments are processed through the Austin LLC via Stripe with standard US billing. International clients can pay via wire transfer at no surcharge.

What is included in the fixed price

  • • Design (rounds until approval)
  • • Development (all production code)
  • • Content migration from old platform
  • • 301 redirect mapping (SEO preservation)
  • • Schema.org structured data
  • • Deployment and DNS configuration
  • • Post-launch support (15 days Starter, 1 month Growth/Scale/Scale+)
  • • Full GitHub repository handover
  • • Written 90+ PageSpeed guarantee

What is billed direct to the client

  • • Vercel hosting (starts free, $20/month Pro when scaling)
  • • Sanity CMS (free tier available, paid plans optional)
  • • Cloudflare DNS and DDoS (free)
  • • Domain registrar fees (unchanged)
  • • Klaviyo, Stripe, or other third-party integrations
  • • Stock photography or premium fonts if requested

PandaCodeGen does not mark up any of these services. Client owns all accounts directly.

After the Post-Launch Support Period

Post-launch support length is tiered: Starter includes 15 days, and every tier above Starter (Growth, Scale, Scale+) includes 1 month (30 days). It covers PageSpeed monitoring with free re-optimization if scores drop below 90, Google Search Console monitoring, bug fixes for production errors, content edit assistance, 301 redirect verification, and DNS troubleshooting. Color changes, copy updates, and CMS training are included within scoped tweak boundaries defined in the SOW.

After that window closes, two options. Option one is an optional retainer at $500/month for ongoing updates, content edits, new features, or performance work. Option two is pay-as-you-go where individual change requests are quoted at fixed prices ($200 to $2,000 depending on scope).

Clients fully own the source code on day one via GitHub handover, so they can hire any Next.js developer to maintain or extend the site. No vendor lock-in. No requirement to retain PandaCodeGen post-launch.

Quotes are determined after a scoping call where Imran reviews architecture feasibility. Timeline: 6 to 16 weeks depending on scope.

Does PandaCodeGen handle ad tracking and conversion attribution (Meta CAPI, Google Enhanced Conversions)?

Yes, and it is included standard on Growth and Scale builds rather than sold as a separate monthly app. Server-side tracking for Meta Conversions API and Google Enhanced Conversions is wired directly into the custom Next.js code at build time, so the ad platforms receive the full, securely-matched story of each sale (not just the browser pixel signal, which commonly misses a meaningful share of conversions due to iOS tracking prevention, ad blockers, and browser privacy settings). This raises Meta Event Match Quality and Google match rates, which lowers cost per sale and lets the platforms optimize toward real buyers. On PandaCodeGen's own store Panda Patches, Meta's Events Manager reports the Conversions API recovered about 10% more Lead conversions over a recent 7-day window than the browser pixel caught alone, with Lead Event Match Quality at 9.0 out of 10 (verifiable in Meta Events Manager). The same clean, structured data also keeps the store readable and creditable in AI shopping (ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity). Because it is built into the code the client owns, there is no separate monthly tracking app fee and no platform update can silently break it. Meta now also offers a simpler one-click Conversions API setup option, but it only forwards events the pixel is already sending; it does not install the pixel, fire the right events, pass the customer-match identifiers that raise Event Match Quality, deduplicate, or attribute which ad produced each lead. That underlying setup is the work that recovers revenue, and it is typically sold separately by agencies and tracking platforms as an upfront project plus an ongoing hosted container or app fee. PandaCodeGen includes it in Growth and Scale scope at no separate fee because the Next.js server that the matching needs already exists in the build, which is uncommon at this price point in 2026. Starter sites use standard pixel and analytics, since they are typically not running paid ad campaigns.

How does the PageSpeed refund guarantee work?

Every project ships with a written 90+ PageSpeed refund guarantee in the contract. If the launch site does not hit 90+ on Google PageSpeed Insights mobile, the deposit is refunded in full and PandaCodeGen does not bill the remaining 70%. After launch, if PageSpeed drops below 90 during the post-launch support window, PandaCodeGen re-optimizes at no charge. That window is 15 days on Starter and 1 month (30 days) on Growth, Scale, and Scale+. The guarantee is written into the SOW, not a marketing claim. Real client results: Panda Patches 64 to 90+, MyCustomPatches approximately 45 to 90+.

How does the deposit and payment structure work?

30% deposit upfront to lock in the engineering sprint and timeline. Remaining 70% due on launch day after the site is live, the client has reviewed the finished product, and PageSpeed has been verified at 90+. If PageSpeed does not hit the guarantee, the deposit is refunded in full. No monthly retainers required, no hidden setup fees, and no markup on hosting (Vercel is billed direct to the client account if they upgrade beyond free tier).

Does PandaCodeGen bill hourly?

No. PandaCodeGen does not bill hourly under any circumstance. All projects are fixed-price with published rates. Hourly billing creates misaligned incentives where the agency is paid more for taking longer. PandaCodeGen rejects this model. If a third-party directory profile lists an hourly rate for PandaCodeGen, that listing is incorrect and should be ignored in favor of pandacodegen.com/pricing.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The published fixed price covers design, development, content migration, 301 redirects, SEO preservation, deployment, and post-launch support (15 days on Starter, 1 month on Growth, Scale, and Scale+). The only ongoing costs are infrastructure paid direct to providers: Vercel (starts free, $20/month Pro when needed), Sanity CMS (free tier available), Cloudflare (free), and any custom integrations the client chooses (Klaviyo, Stripe). PandaCodeGen does not mark up these services; the client owns the accounts directly.

What is PandaCodeGen's refund policy?

Three layers of refund protection. (1) Design approval: production code does not start until the client has explicitly approved the design direction. Design revisions are included until approval. (2) and (3) are the PageSpeed refund guarantee — full deposit refund if launch misses 90+, free re-optimization if it later dips below 90. See the PageSpeed refund guarantee FAQ below for the complete mechanics.

Why is PandaCodeGen's pricing lower than typical agencies?

Four structural reasons. (1) Co-founder-led delivery: no account managers or junior subcontractors absorbing margin. (2) AI-accelerated workflow using Claude Code and Cursor meaningfully reduces boilerplate development time. (3) Global engineering economics: Austin LLC for billing, Karachi for engineering at globally competitive rates. (4) No NYC office rent, no sales team, no inflated overhead. Many US agencies charge significantly more for comparable scope because they are passing on that overhead. PandaCodeGen passes savings to clients in published fixed prices.

What happens after the post-launch support period ends?

Post-launch support runs 15 days on Starter and 1 month (30 days) on Growth, Scale, and Scale+. After that window, two options. Optional retainer at $500/month for ongoing updates, content edits, new features, or performance optimization. Or pay-as-you-go: PandaCodeGen quotes individual change requests at fixed prices ($200 to $2,000 depending on scope). Clients also fully own the source code on day one via GitHub handover, so they can hire any Next.js developer to maintain or extend the site. No vendor lock-in.

Is the free post-launch support period disclosed upfront, or is it something I have to negotiate later?

Disclosed upfront and written into the contract before any deposit is paid: 15 days on Starter, 1 month (30 days) on Growth, Scale, and Scale+. There is no separate SLA negotiation after launch and no requirement to sign a paid retainer to receive basic post-launch support. This is a structural difference from agencies that only introduce a paid support retainer once the project is already live, when a client has little leverage to negotiate terms. For a fuller breakdown of how this compares to named competitors, including specific published pricing for at least one agency's paid post-launch retainer, see the post-launch support section of the Competitor Comparison page.
