How We Work

Day 0 to live in fourteen days.
Here's the actual schedule.

Most agencies run 12 weeks of discovery. We run four phases. By day four you're clicking on real UI; by day fourteen you're in production.

Day 0 · one call

Discovery + fixed-price quote

A single 45-minute call. You walk us through the workflow you're replacing; we ask the questions that unlock scope. By the end of the call you have a fixed number, a proposed timeline, and a list of what's in and out.

You: describe the problem in your own words, share the tools you're replacing
Us: scope + fixed-price + a one-page proposal in your inbox the same day
No follow-up “let me get back to you with pricing.” That's the whole point

Days 1–4 · working demo

Real UI, real data, clickable

By the end of week one you're logged into a working prototype. Not Figma, not a slide deck. Real pages, your actual data model, the primary flow operational end-to-end.

Day 1: repo spun up, auth + data model live
Day 2–3: primary workflow implemented with real data
Day 4: walkthrough call. You click, we take notes, and we course-correct before it's expensive
If the direction is wrong, this is where we find out. One feedback cycle, not ten.

Days 5–12 · build

Ship the rest of the scope

Integrations, secondary workflows, polish, accessibility pass, and deployment setup. We send an async end-of-day note each day with a link to the staging environment, so you watch the thing grow on your own time.

Daily staging deploys, shared Loom walkthroughs for anything subtle
One mid-build checkpoint call (30 min) to unblock questions
Accessibility audit and LEWCA toolkit applied as the default, not an add-on
Your in-scope changes are absorbed; out-of-scope gets a change order before we touch it

Days 13–14 · launch + handoff

Production deploy + everything you need to own it

We deploy to your infrastructure (or ours if you want the hosting retainer), migrate real data, and hand over the keys. Code, repo, docs, and deployment scripts. You own it before the invoice clears.

GitHub repo transferred to your org
Deployment guide + runbook for your dev or IT team
30-day bug-fix support included by default (90 on Professional, longer on Platform)
Optional hosting + support retainer, with no lock-in either way

Trust

Why this timeline is not a lie.

Fair question. We know what it sounds like. Here's what makes the timeline hold.

We only take projects that fit.

The first call is where we turn down half of what comes in. If we can't ship it in the range, we say so, and usually refer you somewhere better.

We reuse the boring parts.

Auth, roles, audit logs, email, payments, deploy pipeline. We've built them forty times. You're not paying us to invent a login screen.

The day-4 demo is a circuit breaker.

If the demo is not what you expected, you walk and we invoice nothing for the work so far. That's the contract, not a “satisfaction guarantee” asterisk.

What we won't do

A short list of things that are not our business.

Staff augmentation.

We ship finished systems, not developer hours by the seat. If you need a contractor to blend into your team indefinitely, that's a different kind of shop.

Marketing sites.

We're builders of internal/ops tools. There are excellent marketing shops; we're not one of them.

Building on top of Salesforce / Podio / low-code platforms.

If that's the right answer for you, we'll say so. We don't take the project just because you're asking.

12-week discovery phases.

If scoping takes longer than building, the scope isn't the problem.

Ready when you are
