We move quickly but carefully to ensure that you make fast progress and also continue to follow through on the promises you make with those who use your technology. We dive into your tech stack and build a detailed plan that accounts for multiple scenarios. We have been in business for nearly two decades and know how long various tasks take, so you will get an accurate time estimate that we can stick to and deliver on-time.
We work with organizations of all sizes, from national companies to one-person shops. No job is too small. We're passionate about helping good ideas flourish and we're flexible to work with you as you grow.
Every project is broken down into the individual features or elements you would like to build, and each one is scoped before work begins. Where the scope is clear, it is quoted at a fixed price. Where it can't be pinned down up front, you approve an hourly estimate before the work starts. Either way, you know what to expect before you say yes. If the scope changes along the way, the change and its price are agreed with you before it proceeds.
Three ways, depending on the work. Assessments and well-defined projects are quoted at a single fixed price before we start. Fractional CTO and ongoing support engagements are a monthly retainer covering agreed responsibilities, availability, and deliverables, billed in advance. Work that can't be scoped up front is billed hourly at the rate in your agreement, against an estimate you approve before it starts, and we tell you before it would go over. You won't get a surprise invoice.
Once the requirements and scope of work have been identified, we dig in. As each engagement is unique, the starting point will vary. When we build an application (or website), we typically start the design process by building mockups that can be easily reviewed and refined prior to building them into the working application. While this process is underway, we can begin work on the backend (or business logic) in parallel such that once the designs are completed, they can be married to the underlying functionality. This is just one example, but regardless of the project specifics, at the end of six weeks, you will have "something" to see, and your project will be well on its way to completion.
