How we work
Nothing about progress should be a surprise.
A working environment from sprint one, a demo every fortnight, and a chart showing scope against budget. If something slips you hear it from us first — while there is still time to act.
Conversation
We talk about the problem rather than the technology. By the end you will have a rough cost range, a rough timeline and an honest opinion on whether the project is worth doing at all.
Discovery workshop
Structured sessions with your team to map the process, the constraints and the risks. Output is a written scope, an architecture outline, a costed plan and a risk register — yours to keep whether or not you continue.
Design & architecture
Data model, integration map, security model and a clickable prototype. You approve the shape of the system before production code is written.
Build in sprints
A working environment from sprint one, a demo at the end of every sprint, and a burn-up chart showing scope against budget. Nothing about progress is a surprise.
Test & harden
Automated suites run on every change; before release we add load testing, a security review, cross-device testing and an accessibility audit.
Launch & support
Deployment, migration, training and a warranty period. Then a support agreement sized to how critical the system is to your operation.
Working rhythm
What a normal fortnight looks like
Predictability matters more than velocity. This is the cadence every engagement runs on.
Written standup
Posted before your working day starts, so you are never waiting for a call to know where things are.
Working session
A live call to resolve decisions, review designs and unblock anything that needs your input.
Sprint demo
Working software you can use yourself, plus a burn-up chart of scope against budget.
Commercial review
Spend, remaining scope, risks and whether the plan still matches what you need.
Commitments
What we guarantee regardless of the project
You meet the people who build it
The engineers in your kickoff are the engineers who write the code. No handover to an unnamed team after signing.
Written scope before you commit
Discovery produces a document you own — scope, architecture, risks and costs — whether or not you proceed with us.
Full IP, no lock-in
Your code, your repositories, your cloud account, documented well enough that another team could take over tomorrow.
Nine years, 94% retention
Most of our clients are still with us, and most new work comes from their referrals rather than from advertising.
Ways to engage
Four commercial models
We recommend the one that fits your situation, including when it is the smaller sale.
Fixed scope, fixed price
A clearly defined project with settled requirements and a firm budget.
DetailsDedicated team
Ongoing product development where the roadmap will keep evolving.
DetailsTime & materials
Exploratory work, integrations and projects where scope genuinely cannot be defined in advance.
DetailsSupport retainer
Live systems that need monitoring, patching and a steady stream of small improvements.
DetailsStart with a conversation, not a brief.
Forty-five minutes about the problem. You leave with a rough cost, a rough timeline and an honest opinion — no slide deck involved.
