How We Work

How we work — and why clients stay for years.

Good software is 20% typing and 80% thinking. Our process is shaped around that ratio.

Our Process

Four steps. No mystery. No surprise invoices.

Step 01

Discovery call (no charge)

A 45-minute conversation. You leave with a written brief of what you're actually trying to build, the risks we see, and the cleanest path forward.

Many prospects use this call and go build it themselves. That's fine.

Step 02

Proposal — written, fixed

Fixed price, fixed timeline, or monthly retainer. We don't pad hours. If we think a feature is unnecessary, we say so before we quote it.

Every proposal comes with a clear scope, milestones, and what's explicitly out of scope.

Step 03

Build — weekly demos, staging from day one

One senior point of contact, a shared project board, weekly demos, and a staging URL from day one so you always see progress — not just promises.

Code is reviewed, tested, and documented as it's written — not at the end.

Step 04

Handover — or stay

Some clients take the code and go. Most ask us to host, monitor, and keep building. Both are genuinely fine — we don't lock you in.

You own the code, the repo, the domain, and the hosting credentials from day one.

Engagement Models

Engagement that grows with you.

Model A

Project-based

Fixed scope, fixed outcome, fixed price. Best for well-defined deliverables — a new site, a v1 product, a specific integration.

Typical duration: 2–14 weeks

Model B

Monthly retainer

A predictable monthly block of senior engineering hours. Best for continuous product work, ongoing roadmaps, and teams that ship weekly.

Unused hours roll over one month

Model C

Fractional tech partner

We act as your outsourced CTO function — architecture decisions, vendor reviews, hiring advice, code review, technical due diligence.

Best for founder-led startups without a senior engineer

Model D

Managed build + hosting

We own the build and the infrastructure. You focus on customers — we handle code, servers, uptime, backups, and the boring bits.

One invoice, one phone number, one accountable partner

What You Get, Always

One senior contact

No junior hand-off, no account-manager buffer.

Written specs

Everything agreed in writing before code is written.

Weekly demos

Working software on a staging URL every week.

You own everything

Code, domain, hosting credentials — yours on day one.

Book the Discovery Call

45 minutes. Written brief. No charge.

Worst case, you leave with a clearer plan than you came in with.
