Planning and design
Plan your idea and first version
Before a line of code exists, we run a brief and organised sprint. Users, essential features and risks are set out first, and you leave with a prototype you can click, a technical plan and a fixed quote to build it.
The issue
What leads teams to ask us
The idea is there, but scope and budget are vague
Supplier quotes differ too much to weigh up fairly
Backers or stakeholders are asking for something to see
What is covered
Inside the work
We set the scope around your goal each time. Most projects contain the parts listed here.
- Workshops with your teamAims, users, limits and how success will be judged.
- Journey mapsMain routes drawn out one screen at a time.
- Click-through prototypeTried by real users before any building starts.
- Technical blueprintStructure, system links, hosting and the risks.
- Launch roadmapWhat version one must hold, and what comes later.
- Written fixed quoteScope, stages and dates set down on paper.
The steps
How we deliver
- 01DiscoverWe study how your business runs, settle the goals, then send a written scope with a fixed quote.
- 02DesignBefore any code is written, you sign off a clickable prototype, one screen at a time.
- 03BuildSprints of two weeks. Each one ends with you trying the real product.
- 04LaunchGo-live happens at a quiet hour. We train your team and pass over every account.
- 05CareA monthly plan keeps it safe, quick and getting better as you grow.
One-off project
An agreed scope at a fixed quote, paid by milestone. Once it's paid, the code and accounts are yours.
Monthly care plan
A subscription paid monthly so your software stays secure, monitored and improving, with written response times.
Common questions
Answers up front
How long will discovery last?
Two to three weeks in most cases. It varies with the number of user groups and integrations.
Am I tied to you for the build after this?
No. The prototype and documents belong to you, and any team may build from them.
How do you price this?
It is a one-off project. We agree a fixed quote after a short call and you pay it in milestones. A monthly care plan covering hosting, updates and support can be added after launch.
