How it works

Three steps from idea to launch

  1. 1

    Discover

    One week to turn your idea into a written scope, wireframes and acceptance criteria.

  2. 2

    Build

    Weekly sprints. Every Friday you see a working demo, not a status report.

  3. 3

    Launch

    We deploy everything on your AWS account, hand over a detailed document, and fix bugs for 30 days.

The handover

We don't just build it and hand you a zip file

Many agencies deliver code and leave you to work out hosting. We deploy the whole product on your own AWS account, so you own the infrastructure from day one and never depend on us to keep it running.

  • Deployed on your AWS

    Production and staging run in your account, under your billing and your control.

  • A detailed handover document

    What we built, how it is deployed, how to release changes, and where everything lives.

  • A walkthrough session

    We take you or your next engineer through the document and the running system.

  • No lock-in

    Your code, your cloud, your accounts. Keep working with us or take it anywhere.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to be technical?

No. In the first week we turn your idea into a written scope, wireframes and acceptance criteria, in plain language you can sign off on.

How does pricing work?

Fixed scope and fixed price, agreed before we start. Book a call and we will tell you what your idea would involve.

Who owns the code and the infrastructure?

You do. We deploy on your own AWS account under your billing, and you keep the code and every account.

How will I know how the build is going?

Weekly sprints, and every Friday you see a working demo rather than a status report.

What happens after launch?

We fix bugs for 30 days. After that you can keep working with us on a monthly support retainer, or take the handover document to your own team.
