Five stages. No black boxes.
You will always know what we are doing this week, what it costs, and what lands at the end of it. Here is exactly how an engagement runs.
Discover
We interview your team and your users, audit what already exists, and pin down what success looks like in numbers. You get a written brief, a scope, and a fixed price before any build work begins.
Design
Wireframes first, then clickable prototypes we put in front of real users. Changing a prototype costs hours; changing production code costs weeks. We do the expensive thinking while it is still cheap.
Build
Two-week sprints, each ending with something you can open in a browser. Code review on every change, automated tests on the parts that matter, and a staging environment that mirrors production.
Launch
Performance budgets enforced, accessibility checked against WCAG 2.2 AA, analytics wired up, and a deployment pipeline that makes releases boring. Plus backups, because we have seen what happens without them.
Scale
Launch is the midpoint, not the finish. We stay on for monitoring, iteration, and the improvements your usage data argues for — on a retainer sized to what you actually need.
The things everybody asks first.
It depends entirely on scope, but for context: a marketing website typically lands between $6k and $20k, an e-commerce build between $15k and $50k, and a custom application from $35k upward. We give you a fixed price after discovery, not a range that quietly grows.
A website is usually 4–8 weeks end to end. A mobile app or custom platform is typically 3–6 months. Discovery gives us enough information to commit to a date, and we would rather quote honestly than win work on an optimistic timeline.
Yes, completely, from the first commit. Repositories, hosting accounts, domains, design files, and analytics are all registered in your name. If you ever want to move to another team, you can, and nothing about that is our decision.
Then we work alongside them. That might mean staff augmentation, a design system your developers implement, or an architecture review. We are equally happy leading a project or reinforcing one that already has momentum.
Yes. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer covering monitoring, security updates, backups, and a block of development hours. It is optional, and it is not a lock-in contract — thirty days notice, always.
Fair question, and worth answering openly: our previous host lost the site and the backups with it. This rebuild is a static site with the entire source under version control, which is the same discipline we apply to client work. It is also why we talk about backups so much.
Let's build something worth talking about.
Tell us what you're trying to make happen. We'll come back within one business day with honest thoughts on scope, timeline, and cost — no obligation, no sales theater.
