Our Process

A Phased Approach

Discovery & Scoping

Understand the workflow, agree on the deliverables, and set the scope, price, and delivery milestones before the build.

Design & Build

Design, develop, and test the agreed scope. Review working software and give feedback at the milestones in the delivery plan.

Launch & Handoff

Deploy the software, prepare the team handoff, and provide the agreed post-launch support. Source code and IP transfer on final payment.

Ongoing Partnership

Most large builds are fixed-price, with a monthly retainer after launch. Ongoing development, maintenance, and support are scoped separately.
