How we work

You always know what happens next

The same seven steps on every project, whatever its size. Publishing them is deliberate — a studio that cannot describe its own process usually does not have one.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    30 minutes

    We ask four things: what the problem is, when you need it, roughly what the budget is, and who signs off. If we do not learn all four, we are not ready to quote — and we will say so rather than guess.

    Your part

    Thirty minutes and honest answers.

  2. 02

    Written scope

    Within 24 hours

    Deliverables, explicit exclusions, assumptions, timeline and price. The exclusions matter as much as the inclusions — most project disputes come from something both sides assumed was covered.

    Your part

    A read-through, and questions about anything unclear.

  3. 03

    Proposal, three options

    With the scope

    Reduced, recommended, and extended. Real differences in what you get, not artificial tiers. You choose which problem you want solved, rather than whether to solve it at all.

    Your part

    A decision, or a conversation about a fourth option.

  4. 04

    Contract and deposit

    Before any work

    50% up front. The contract covers scope, payment, IP transfer on final payment, the change-order process, and how either side ends it. Nothing starts before the deposit clears — that is true for every client.

    Your part

    A signature and the first payment.

  5. 05

    Weekly demos

    Every week, same slot

    A staging URL goes live in week one and stays live. You see the real thing every week, including in the weeks when progress was slow. Silence is what makes clients anxious, not honest updates.

    Your part

    Thirty minutes a week, and quick answers when we are blocked.

  6. 06

    Changes, priced first

    As they come up

    Anything outside the agreed scope gets a written change order with a price, before it is built. You are never surprised by an invoice, and we are never quietly absorbing work.

    Your part

    Approve or decline. Both are fine.

  7. 07

    Handover

    On completion

    Repository access, deployment documentation, environment configuration, a recorded walkthrough, and — where the project warrants it — role-based manuals and a QA pack your team can re-run. Then 30 days of bug-fix cover.

    Your part

    Final payment. The code is yours outright.

Two things we will not do

Quote on the first call

A number given before we understand the problem is a guess, and guesses get corrected later — usually in an uncomfortable conversation. You get a written scope first, always.

Take a project we are wrong for

If your problem needs a specialism we do not have, or a platform we do not know, we will say so on the call and suggest where to look instead. It costs us one project and saves you a bad one.

Start at step one. It takes thirty minutes.
