Discover. Design. Build. Secure. Launch.
A disciplined five-phase loop with weekly demos on a real staging URL. The same process for a landing page or a platform rebuild — only the depth changes.
What happens, week by week.
Every phase has a scope, a timeline, and a deliverable you can see and use.
We start by understanding the business, not the brief. Constraints, revenue model, existing stack, and where the pain actually lives.
- Stakeholder interviews and workshop
- Codebase, data, and infra audit
- Competitor and analytics review
- Risk and dependency mapping
- Architecture map
- Prioritised roadmap
- Fixed-scope proposal
Information architecture, brand-safe UI, motion, and accessibility contract — approved before we write product code.
- IA and user flows
- Design system tokens and primitives
- High-fidelity screens + motion specs
- Accessibility acceptance criteria
- Design system in Figma
- Reviewed prototypes
- A11y and content specs
Weekly demos on a real staging URL. Type-safe frontend, tested backend, CI/CD from day one — no big-bang reveal.
- Vertical slices, shipped weekly
- Server functions, DB, and integrations
- Automated tests + preview deploys
- Content, SEO, and analytics wiring
- Staging URL from week 1
- PRs reviewed and documented
- Test + coverage reports
Threat model, RLS + policy review, pen-test, headers, secret hygiene. Findings are fixed, not filed.
- Threat model + attack surface review
- RLS, auth, and role hardening
- Automated + manual pen-test
- Secrets, headers, and dependency audit
- Security report + fix log
- Retest confirmation
- Runbook for incidents
Observability, SEO, cutover plan, and a handoff you can actually maintain. Retainer optional, not required.
- DNS + zero-downtime cutover
- Metrics, logs, alerts wired to on-call
- SEO submission + indexing check
- Team training + handoff docs
- Live production system
- Ops runbook + dashboards
- Post-launch review
Four rules every engagement follows.
Fixed scope, transparent price
Every phase has a written scope, timeline, and price before it starts. Change requests are logged and priced separately.
One senior point of contact
You brief one engineer who's on every call and in every PR. No account managers translating between you and the team.
Weekly demos, not milestones
Every Friday there's a real staging URL and a working demo. If something's off-track, you know at day 7, not day 70.
Security is inside the build
Threat modelling, RLS, headers, and dependency review are line items in every phase — not a separate quote after launch.
