How we work
Discovery, Design, Build, Care. Same Shape, Every Project.
A small studio runs on rituals, not Gantt charts. Same four phases every project, scaled to the brief. Honest scope, weekly demos, releases you can ship at every checkpoint.
Discovery before scope.
Most agency mistakes happen here. People skip discovery to start coding faster. We do the opposite: we slow down at the start so the rest of the project does not have to.
- Stakeholder interviews (founders, marketing, ops, IT)
- Audit of current site, analytics, integrations
- Competitor and audience research
- Output written brief that becomes the contract
Design that survives implementation.
Information architecture, content map, visual direction. A clickable prototype before we touch real code. Cheap to change here, expensive to change later.
- Information architecture and page map
- Content audit and migration plan
- Visual direction with 2-3 mood directions
- Clickable prototype validated with your team
Software shipped in slices.
Two-week sprints with demo at the end. You see real progress, you can course-correct early, you never get the "big-bang reveal" surprise on launch day.
- Sprint planning every 2 weeks with you
- Weekly progress demos on real environments
- Deployable release at every checkpoint
- Pre-launch QA + accessibility + security
After launch, the work continues.
Launch is not the end. Your site or software lives in the real world: traffic, edge cases, dependencies, regulations. Optional monthly retainer keeps us watching, patching, iterating.
- Monitoring uptime, performance, security
- Dependency updates and security patches
- Content updates and small features
- Quarterly review with you
Three pricing models, all transparent.
No hidden costs, no surprise invoices. Pick the model that fits the work.
Fixed price
Most projects. Defined scope, defined price, defined timeline. You know exactly what you are signing for.
Monthly retainer
For ongoing care, AI cost monitoring, security monitoring, content support. Flat monthly fee, cancel anytime.
Hybrid
Fixed-price build + monthly retainer for care. Most clients land here after their first project.
