How it works

From brief to shipped.

01 / Discovery

Define & scope

A working session to align on requirements, constraints, and success criteria. We deliver a scope document before billing begins.

02 / Design

Architect & prototype

Technical architecture, data models, and interactive prototypes reviewed with you before development starts.

03 / Build

Sprint & iterate

Two-week sprints with demos. You see working software, not status reports. Feedback loops are short and continuous.

04 / Ship

Deploy & hand off

Production deployment, documentation, and a 30-day warranty period. Retainer clients continue into the next cycle.
