How it works

How a project runs

Every project follows the same five steps, from the first conversation to launch. At each one you know what it costs and what you get.

The five steps

  1. 1
    Call

    We talk through the idea

    You tell me what you want to build, who it's for and what you already have, whether that's a paragraph, a deck or a full spec. You don't pay for this call, and it doesn't commit you to anything.

    You geta clear next step, at no cost

  2. 2
    Scope

    You get a written scope and a fixed price

    I send a short document that lists what the product will do at launch, what can come later and anything I'll need from you, with one fixed price for all of it. We adjust it together, and nothing starts or is billed until you accept.

    You geta written scope and one fixed price

  3. 3
    Build

    I design and build the product

    Once you accept, I set up the project and take it from designs through to working software. Most projects take a few weeks, and you can try the product while it's being built.

    You geta preview you can use during the build

  4. 4
    Review

    You try it, and I refine it

    You use the real product the way your users will and note anything that feels wrong or unclear. Changes within the scope are included in the price. If something falls outside it, I'll tell you what it would take before doing any of the work.

  5. 5
    Launch

    It goes live, and it is yours

    I launch it and hand over the product, the code and notes that let you, or any developer, keep it running. After that you can run it yourself, have me host it, or ask for improvements and new features, which are quoted separately.

Common questions

Common questions

Each project has a fixed price based on its scope, so there are no hourly bills. I send it after our first call, once we have agreed what to build, and nothing is billed until you accept it.

If yours isn’t here, send it over. It’s a good thing to talk about on the first call.

Start

Start with a message

Tell me what you want to build and who it’s for. A few lines is enough, and I’ll reply by email with any questions before we talk.
