why we work to a fixed scope
we work out the real shape of the job on the first call, price it, and start building the same week. that puts the risk of a bad estimate on us rather than on your budget. it is a harder way to work, because there is nowhere to file the things you would rather leave until phase two. it is also the only version where you know the number before you commit to it.
note. the estimate risk sits with us. harder for us, safer for the budget.why the team stays small
a small team means a decision gets made in the conversation where it is raised, and the person who scoped the job is the person building it. nothing waits a week while it travels through a committee. the next project tends to arrive as a referral, so finishing this one properly is the only thing worth optimising for.
what "finished" actually means
a live url. not a deck, not a prototype video, not a staging link that takes three follow-up emails to become real. the deliverable is the thing itself, running in the browser, doing the job it was built for. everything upstream of that, the planning, the design system, the architecture, exists to reach that point sooner.
note. a live url. the only deliverable that counts.
