Tools we use
The rules
We don't do strategy decks. We don't do placeholders.
We ship code, on the URL you'll keep, and then we operate it.
Ship narrow. Iterate visible.
Every project starts with the smallest production-shaped thing that can be deployed.
Estimates are written, not negotiated.
We give a number. If it's wrong, we wear it.
Boring tools, defended choices.
Stacks we'll still recommend in 2030, with the reasons documented.
On-call from day one.
We watch what we build.
No black-box deliverables.
Repos, dashboards and runbooks are yours from the first commit.
Fewer, better partners.
We turn down most inbound work to stay deep with a few clients.
How it runs
3 phases to
a launch.
Discover
We map the problem, the constraints and the system you already have.
You get A one-page brief and a written estimate.
Define
Information architecture, scope and a working prototype.
Locked The first version and the metrics to move.
Build
We work to a fortnightly cadence.
Shipped to A staging URL you can use daily.
1 that doesn't
end.
Operate
Observability, on-call and an iteration backlog.
Runs on A quarterly retainer.
Most clients stay on a retainer after launch.
How we price
Estimated for the job, in writing.
We read the requirement first, then give you a number. As a guide, builds come in two sizes.
Sprint
Discovery, a prototype or a one-off feature. Fixed scope, fixed price.
$800–2,4002–4 weeks
Project
New builds and migrations. Phased delivery, fortnightly demos. The most chosen of the three.
$3k–25k8–24 weeks
Then a retainer, if you want one.
Ongoing engineering, design, marketing or operations.
Retainer
Two weeks' notice either way.
from $1,400/moQuarterly
