Methodology & lifecycle

A short path from conversation to launch.

No account managers, no vague sprint retros, no hostage code. Four stages — each ends with something concrete you can see and sign off.

After launch

30-day window

// Execution protocol

Four stages. Zero guesswork.

  1. Discover

    ~1 week

    Calls to understand what you're building and why. We turn that into a written proposal with a fixed price and timeline — no open-ended estimates.

    Stage deliverables

    check_circle A scoped feature list check_circle Written proposal: fixed price, timeline, payment schedule check_circle Repository set up, in your organisation
  2. Design

    1–3 weeks

    Flows, then wireframes, then UI — reviewed with you at each step. It ends in a clickable prototype you sign off before any production code is written.

    Stage deliverables

    check_circle Product flows and wireframes check_circle Final UI and a clickable prototype check_circle A design system to build from
  3. Build

    3–12 weeks

    Weekly demos of working software. A staging link is live from the first week. Code goes straight into your repository — you're never waiting for a handover.

    Stage deliverables

    check_circle Staging environment from week one check_circle Weekly demo and a written update check_circle Commits in your repo as they happen check_circle Automated tests alongside the code
  4. Launch & iterate

    30-day window

    Deploy or store submission, monitoring set up, and a 30-day window to respond to what real users do.

    Stage deliverables

    check_circle Production deploy / store release check_circle Analytics and error monitoring check_circle DevOps handover and access keys check_circle 30 days of iteration included

Working protocol

What working with us feels like

// Transparencycloud_done

You always have a link

A staging URL from week one. Progress is something you look at, not something you're told about.

staging.your-project.dev

// Direct accessterminal

One senior contact

You talk to the person building it. No account-manager layer relaying messages.

Direct line to the tech lead

// Zero lock-inlock_open

You own everything

Repositories, hosting accounts, design files — all in your name, from the start.

git: your-org/core-repo

Mutual commitment

What we need from you to move fast

01

A decision-maker

One person who can approve designs and scope without a committee.

02

Timely feedback

Review on weekly demos within a day or two, so sprints don't stall.

03

Access, early

Real content, the accounts we integrate with, and any brand assets in week one.

Ready to build

Have something to build?

Send a few lines about your project. We reply within one business day with an honest read.

Start a project

Not ready to commit? Book a 15-minute build-readiness call instead — leave with a rough scope, the likely risks, and the next sensible step, even if we're not the right studio.

Best for founders with a product idea, rough spec, or existing app that needs senior builders.
