How we work
Professional outcomes without agency theater.
We operate a clear, fixed-scope delivery model designed for companies where website failure is expensive.
Engagement principles
The rules every engagement runs on
- Fixed scope, fixed pricing
- Modern stack only (Astro + Payload CMS)
- Clear ownership and acceptance rules
- No hourly billing
- No open-ended commitments
The process
A structured path from fit to delivery
Fit Check
RequiredEvery engagement starts with a qualification form. We assess platform fit, risk, timeline, and budget alignment.
If the project isn't a fit, we will not proceed.
What we ask
- Business model and audience
- Role of the website in revenue
- Current platform and constraints
- Timeline and budget range
Paid Discovery
When requiredFor complex builds and replatforms, we conduct a structured discovery phase to define architecture and reduce delivery risk.
Discovery is paid, scoped, and credited toward delivery where applicable.
Outputs include
- Platform architecture
- Content model
- Performance and security strategy
- Delivery roadmap
Fixed-Scope Delivery
DeliveryScope, timeline, and price are defined before work begins. No hourly billing. No scope drift.
Delivery is governed by an Order Form and Statement of Work.
Acceptance
- Structured review points
- Clear acceptance windows
- Silence constitutes acceptance
- Post-acceptance changes are billable
Optional
Ongoing Partnership
For teams needing ongoing support beyond delivery, we offer a Web Platform Partnership, a monthly retainer with clear boundaries and expectations.
