Step 1: Discovery Consultation (Free, 30 Minutes)

We discuss your needs, assess fit, and determine if custom development is the right solution. Sometimes we'll recommend an existing package or off-the-shelf tool instead—we'll be honest if custom development isn't the best use of your budget.

Step 2: Requirements & Scoping (Paid, $350-1,500)

If we're a good fit, we conduct a detailed requirements gathering process, create technical specifications, and develop a comprehensive project proposal with timeline and fixed-price quote.

Why paid discovery?

This ensures serious commitment from both parties and produces a detailed blueprint that protects you from scope creep and us from unrealistic expectations.

Deliverable:

Detailed requirements document, technical architecture plan, timeline with milestones, fixed-price quote

Step 3: Agreement & Development (50% Deposit)

Once you approve the quote, we require 50% deposit to begin development. We work in sprints with milestone reviews, keeping you updated throughout.

Timeline:

Varies by project complexity (typically 4-16 weeks)

Step 4: Testing & Refinement

Included:

Bug fixes, performance optimization, refinement within scope

Not Included:

Step 5: Delivery & Transition (Final 50% Payment)

We deliver all source code, documentation, and deployment instructions. You receive full ownership and all rights to the custom software.

Deliverable:

Working system, source code, documentation, deployment guide, 30-60 days post-launch bug support

Step 6: Ongoing Support (Optional)

We offer optional maintenance retainers for hosting, updates, feature additions, and technical support.
