Our process - A steady path from idea to launch
Our process is simple by design: align on outcomes, ship in small increments, and keep communication clear. It works for greenfield builds and complex redesigns alike.
Discover & plan
We start by aligning on outcomes, constraints, and unknowns. Together we define clear goals and success metrics so every decision supports what matters most.
We run a lightweight discovery: stakeholder conversations, a technical audit, and just-enough research to inform a practical plan without slowing momentum.
You’ll leave this phase with a right-sized project roadmap: scope, milestones, risks, and budget ranges you can actually act on.
Included in this phase
- Kickoff workshop
- Goals & success metrics
- Technical audit
- Market & user scan (as needed)
- Risk & dependency review
- Roadmap & milestones
Design & build
We work in small, shippable batches with frequent demos. Designers and engineers collaborate tightly to keep context high and handoffs light.
You’ll get clear weekly updates, transparent tradeoffs, and access to the work as it happens. We bias for steady progress over big-bang releases.
Every change is reviewed, tested, and documented so your team can maintain it long after launch.
The team kept us in the loop without slowing anyone down—thoughtful updates, frequent demos, and no surprises.
Launch & support
We run comprehensive testing and QA across devices, networks, and edge cases. Performance and accessibility are first-class.
Before launch, we verify monitoring, logging, and rollback paths. Your team receives the documentation and training needed to own the stack.
After launch, we stay close—tracking metrics, addressing real-world feedback, and planning the next increment.
Included in this phase
- Launch readiness. End-to-end QA, accessibility checks, performance budgets, and content verification.
- Infrastructure & observability. Secure, scalable hosting with monitoring, alerts, and disaster recovery paths.
- Post-launch care. Stabilization window, metrics review, and a prioritized follow-up plan.
Working principles - What we optimize for
Clear priorities help us move fast without breaking the things that matter. These principles keep quality high and collaboration simple.
- Momentum over ceremony. Lightweight process, frequent shipping, and feedback early—so value shows up sooner.
- Measure twice, ship once. Thoughtful planning plus pragmatic execution reduces rework and surprises.
- No surprises. Clear status, candid tradeoffs, and predictable delivery. You always know what’s next.
- Accessibility and performance by default. Fast, inclusive experiences are table stakes—not polish.
- Maintainable by your team. Clear code, solid docs, and sensible architecture so you can own it.
- Iterate with evidence. Decisions backed by data, research, or real user feedback—not gut feel alone.
