How we work

    Scope. Build. Harden. Handoff.

    Same four stages, every engagement. Same Friday checkpoints. You own the keys at the end.

    1. 01Week 0

      Scope

      Free 60-minute call. You leave with a one-page scope and a fixed price, or an honest 'not a fit.'

      What you get
      • One-page scope
      • Fixed quote
      • Honest 'not a fit' if it isn't
    2. 02Weeks 1–7

      Build

      Staging URL at the end of every week. Loom walkthrough in Slack. You break things before your users do. Milestones invoiced as they land, not in advance.

      What you get
      • Weekly staging URL
      • Slack walkthroughs
      • Milestone invoices

      Harden

      Load test, security review, docs. We only call it done when we'd put our name on it in public.

      What you get
      • Load & security report
      • Runbook
      • Operational docs

      Handoff

      You own the repo, the cloud account, and the docs. We're on Slack for 30 days. Retainers optional, never pitched.

      What you get
      • Repo + cloud access
      • 30-day Slack support
      • No upsell pressure
    The contract

    Four things we commit to. Every time.

    1. 01

      Fixed fee

      No hourly billing. The quote you sign is the quote you pay.

    2. 02

      50–60% deposit

      Balance on milestones tied to working software, not calendar dates.

    3. 03

      Weekly visible progress

      Staging URL by end of week 1. If a week ships nothing, we say so.

    4. 04

      You own the keys

      Repo in your GitHub org and cloud account in your name from day one.

    Never in scope

    What this isn't.

    Refusal up front beats friction at the end. If your project needs one of these, we'll say so on the scoping call and refer you somewhere better.

    • Guaranteed SEO rankings or lead volume.
    • Hourly billing or open-ended retainers we'll pitch.
    • Subcontracted work — the people in the channel are the people on the commits.
    • Compliance certification we haven't actually shipped.
    • Padded timelines to fill our own roadmap gaps.
    • Custom mobile apps inside standard packages.

    Paid audit: $1,500, one week, one-page architecture, a milestone plan. Or send a brief — we'll come back with a fixed quote.
