Web development and software design Software studio

Home / How we work

How we take on a project

No vague retainers. We learn what you need, design it so it can be built, then ship in stages you can see - with names, dates and costs written down.

Planning a software project

Same team from brief to launch

The person who runs the first discovery call is still on the project when we press go-live. You are not handed between a sales desk, a design vendor and a separate build team.

Build starts once you have signed off the scope and the design direction.

Project discovery in progress
1

Discover

We list users, current tools, must-haves, nice-to-haves and constraints. You get a ranked scope, a timeline and a price. You can stop there.

  • Workshop or structured calls
  • Review of any existing site, app or spreadsheet
  • A written brief you can take to another studio if you wish
Software design and prototyping
2

Design

Flows, screens and technical shape. You click a prototype before we write production code, so surprises happen on a board, not late in the build.

  • User journeys and key screens
  • Visual UI and a small component kit
  • Architecture notes: data, integrations, hosting

Build

Development in milestones you can use. Staging you can log into. Testing against the brief, then a planned launch.

  • Sprint demos in English, not a status PDF
  • Staging environment from early in the build
  • Launch checklist, backups and a rollback note
Product iteration after launch
4

Evolve

Fixes, small features and hosting after go-live. We would rather ship a smaller first version well than pad a backlog you never asked for.

  • Warranty window on the original scope
  • Optional product-care retainer
  • A backlog you can decline

What you walk away with

  • A written brief and priced plan
  • A named project lead
  • Design files, source and handover notes
  • Staging, production and a launch record

How a project typically runs

  • Enquiry and a discovery call
  • Workshop or written brief
  • Design sign-off before build
  • Delivery in milestones you can click
