Process

A steady course from idea to scale

Five stages, each with a clear output. Skip what you already have: if your designs are done, we start at Build.

  1. 01

    Discover

    1–3 weeks

    Workshops with your team, user interviews and technical spikes. You get a prioritised scope, architecture outline and a fixed estimate for the first release.

  2. 02

    Design

    2–4 weeks

    Clickable prototypes tested with real users and a design system that engineers can build from directly.

  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week sprints

    Working software every sprint, a demo every two weeks, and a staging environment you can click through at any time.

  4. 04

    Launch

    1–2 weeks

    Load tests, security review, monitoring and a rollout plan. We stay on call through launch week.

  5. 05

    Run & grow

    Ongoing

    Support, performance and cost work, and new features. Or a clean handover to your in-house team.

Engagement models

Pick the shape that fits

Not sure which one? Most clients start with a discovery sprint and choose afterwards.

Dedicated team

Best for: Products with an evolving roadmap

A cross-functional squad (engineers, designer, QA, delivery lead) working only on your product. Monthly billing, scale up or down with 30 days notice.

  • Team of 3–10
  • Monthly retainer
  • Your backlog, our delivery

Fixed-scope project

Best for: MVPs and well-defined releases

An agreed scope, timeline and price after a discovery sprint. Changes go through a simple change-request process.

  • Fixed price
  • Milestone payments
  • Warranty period included

Team extension

Best for: In-house teams that need senior capacity

Senior engineers who join your team, your rituals and your tools. Ideal for deadlines, specialised skills or covering hiring gaps.

  • 1–5 engineers
  • Hourly or monthly
  • Start in 1–2 weeks
Communication

Always in the loop

Weekly written update

Progress, risks, decisions needed and budget burn in one short email.

Demo every two weeks

Working software on staging, not slides. You decide what ships next.

Shared Slack channel

Direct access to the engineers, not just an account manager.

Open repository

Code, tickets and documentation live in your tools from day one.

Our commitments

Risk on our side

You own the code

Full IP transfer from the first commit. The repository lives in your organisation.

NDA before the first call

We sign your NDA or ours before you share anything sensitive.

Two-week trial sprint

Not happy after the first sprint? You do not pay for it and keep everything we built.

Senior people only

Every engineer on your project has at least six years of production experience.
