How we build
Built in the open, step by step.
Six steps, the same every time. Your dashboard shows exactly where we are, what we need from you and what is coming next.
- 01
Planning
We listen, ask questions and write down exactly what we will build.
A call or two with the people who will use the thing. We map what you have now, what has to change and what success looks like, then send you a written plan with dates and a fixed price for you to approve.
Your part
Tell us how things work today. Approve the plan.
- 02
Design
Screens you can click through and try before we build anything.
We design the main screens for computers and phones and share a version you can click through. Changes are easy at this point, so this is where we get the details right.
Your part
Click around, leave comments, approve the design.
- 03
Build
We build it bit by bit and show you something working every week.
You can try it on a private preview link that updates as we go. Weekly updates land in your dashboard with what moved, what is next and anything we need from you.
Your part
Answer questions, send content, try the preview.
- 04
Testing
Your team tries to break it. We fix what they find.
We test it on real phones and computers, check that it is fast and easy for everyone to use, then your team tries it out. We fix every problem they find.
Your part
Use it like you will on a busy day. Report anything odd.
- 05
Going live
We set up your web address, hosting and email properly, then put it online.
We put it on your hosting or ours, connect your web address, set up backups and checks, and go live at a quiet time with someone watching.
Your part
Give the final go-ahead.
- 06
Hand-over
All the logins, the code, a written guide and a walkthrough. Then it is yours.
Every account, the code and all the logins are passed to you, with a written guide and a recorded walkthrough for your team. Pay us monthly to look after it, or run it yourselves.
Your part
Take over the logins. Decide if you want monthly care.
Principles
How we behave along the way.
Show, do not tell
You see working software early and often, on a private preview link, not a slide deck at the end.
Decisions in writing
Every approval lives on your dashboard with a date and a name, so scope never drifts quietly.
Plain words
We explain trade-offs without jargon and only ask you for the decisions that are yours to make.
Built to hand over
Clean code, real documentation and accounts in your name, so you are never locked in to us.
