04How we work

A process designed to remove surprises.

Clear scope, visible progress every two weeks and a team that stays after launch.

  1. 01

    Discover

    1–2 weeks

    We learn how your organisation works, agree goals and define a clear, priced scope.

  2. 02

    Design

    1–3 weeks

    Clickable prototypes tested with your users, so changes happen before code is written.

  3. 03

    Build

    4–12 weeks

    Fortnightly releases to a staging site you can try. Progress is visible, never assumed.

  4. 04

    Launch

    1 week

    Data migration, training and a calm, rehearsed go-live with us on hand.

  5. 05

    Support

    Ongoing

    Monitoring, maintenance and improvements from the team that built it.

05The team

Small team. Senior people. Direct line.

You work directly with the engineers who design and build your system — no account managers in between.
