01 / Process

How a project runs.

Every engagement runs the same four phases: Scope → Build → Independent review → Handover. The spec is written, the fee is fixed, and the source leaves with you.

02 / Philosophy

The maker does not mark their own work.

Nothing ships until a reviewer separate from the builder passes it against the signed acceptance criteria. A failed criterion returns the work to Build, not to the invoice. The maker does not mark their own work.

03 / Process

Four phases. One standard.

01

Scope

Every engagement starts with a written spec: what will be built, what it costs, and the acceptance criteria both sides sign. The signed spec governs the project — not memory, not goodwill. The spec is yours to keep.

A written scope and a fixed starting price.

02

Build

We build against the signed spec on a fixed timeline and a fixed fee. Automated checks run throughout: strict types, accessibility at AA or better, tests tied to the acceptance criteria. You see progress on a staging build as the work lands.

Working software, built to the brief.

03

Independent review

Before handover, a reviewer who did not build the work checks it against the signed acceptance criteria: brief, quality, accessibility. This gate is never skipped. You receive the review record — every criterion, checked and signed off.

A review note attached to the handover.

04

Handover

On full payment, everything transfers: access, source code, documentation, and a delivery record of what was built. No retained ownership, no lock-in. Any developer can pick up where we left off.

Access, source, and a delivery record.

Four phases · One standard

04 / Scope & pricing

A changed number is a written number.

Every price is public before the first call. Engagements are fixed-fee: 50% to start, 50% on delivery. If scope changes, the change is written down and approved — never discovered on the invoice.

  1. 01Starting prices are public so a serious buyer can gauge fit before a call.
  2. 02Any scope change is a written change request, not a verbal assumption.
  3. 03Unknowns, integrations, and AI features are scoped as requirements, not surprises.
  4. 04Prices exclude VAT and are stated in the currency the work is billed in.
