How a project works

Four steps, every time. You always know what’s next and what it costs.

  1. A free 30-minute call

    We talk through what’s slowing you down. No preparation needed.

  2. A written plan

    Problem, approach, scope, fixed fee, and timeline. No obligation.

  3. The build

    Short cycles with a plain-language update every week.

  4. Handover and support

    You own the code, accounts, and documentation. Support continues as long as you need it.

Three ways to work together

We’ll recommend one on the first call. You can switch later.

Project

A defined scope and a fixed fee, agreed before work begins.

Best for a specific build or rollout

Advisory retainer

A monthly retainer for guidance and a roadmap, with someone experienced to call.

Best for leaders without a CTO

Ask about advisory

Fractional CTO

Technical leadership a few hours a week, without a full-time salary.

Best for growing teams

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Businesses of all sizes, from new startups to established companies. If technology is slowing you down, we can likely help.

Who actually does the work?

How does a typical engagement start?

With a free call. We learn your goals, then send a prioritized plan with scope and price before you commit.

How are projects priced?

Always agreed up front, with no surprise invoices. It’s a fixed project fee, a monthly retainer, or a fractional arrangement.

What if I’m not sure exactly what I need?

That’s normal, and often the best place to start. We help you find the right problem before anything gets built.
