How we work
Then working software you can click through every week.
We learn your business, users and goals, then agree on scope, budget and what success looks like, in writing.
1 to 2 weeks
We map the user flows and design the interface, and you sign off on a clickable prototype before production code starts.
1 to 4 weeks
We build in short cycles and give you a live preview link from the first week, so you can follow progress.
3 to 12 weeks
We handle the launch, monitoring and handover, then stay on to host, support and improve what we built if you want us to.
Ongoing
It depends on scope. Most clients work with us on a monthly retainer sized to how much they need each month. One-off websites and software projects get a fixed, written quote after a free scoping call, so you know the price before any work begins.
We're a UK company and work with businesses across the country, including plenty in London. Most collaboration happens over video calls, shared documents and a live preview link, and we're happy to meet in person in London.
You do, once the project is paid for. The code, designs and intellectual property transfer to you, and everything is set up in accounts you control from the start.
Most websites launch in 4 to 8 weeks. Custom software usually ships a first release in 8 to 16 weeks, and SaaS MVPs in 10 to 16, depending on scope.

Most clients keep us on a monthly retainer for hosting, support and ongoing improvements. It's month to month, and if you'd rather take everything in-house, you get full documentation and a handover.
