About the studio

How we work with you.

We agree a useful first version, show you the work as it develops, and check the launch and handover. Scope, responsibilities and significant decisions stay in writing.

Vanguard Business Park · Original package and first feedback round delivered in August 2026.

Clear scope, visible progress, honest limits.

Every project is different. Simple websites can move quickly. Web apps, Android apps, automation, hosting, and integrations need more planning. We explain what is realistic before work starts.

The seven steps.

A clear route from first chat to launch, with checkpoints instead of surprises.

  1. Steps 1–3Before work starts
  2. Steps 4–5While we build
  3. Steps 6–7Going live and after
  1. First conversation

    We talk about your business, the people using the work, and the problem you want to solve.

    CheckpointThe goal is understood.

  2. Scope & priorities

    We agree the essential features, what can wait, the budget and the information needed to plan delivery.

    CheckpointPriorities and dependencies are clear.

  3. Written proposal

    The proposal records scope, price, timing and responsibilities. You can review it and ask questions before agreeing to the work.

    CheckpointThe written proposal is agreed.

  4. Build in stages

    You review working versions as we build, so feedback can shape the next stage.

    CheckpointWorking versions are reviewed.

  5. Review & feedback

    We review the agreed work together and address defects. Refinements and revision rounds follow the written scope.

    CheckpointThe agreed version is ready for launch.

  6. Launch

    We check the agreed launch routes and publish the reviewed build. We verify the live pages and record any remaining limitations.

    CheckpointThe live release is verified.

  7. Support & handoff

    We hand over access and maintenance notes. Ongoing support, response expectations and update work are agreed separately.

    CheckpointOwnership and the support path are clear.

Client responsibilities

To keep projects moving smoothly, we rely on you for a few key things.

  • Content & assets

    Providing text, images, and business information.

  • Timely feedback

    Reviewing work and giving prompt feedback during staged builds.

  • Account ownership

    Accessing and owning your domain, hosting, email, and business accounts where possible.

  • Final decisions

    Making final decisions on wording, legal content, and business claims.

Explicit exclusions

For clarity, here are a few things we do not cover by default.

  • Content creation

    Legal advice or copywriting, unless agreed upfront.

  • Open-ended changes

    Unlimited revisions after the agreed scope.

  • Marketing

    Guaranteed Google rankings or paid ads management.

  • Unsafe access

    Handling passwords through unsafe channels (e.g. plain email).

Why written agreements matter

A handshake is friendly. A written proposal is professional and protects everyone.

No surprises
Everyone knows what to expect: scope, timeline, price, and what is included.
Change clarity
If scope changes, we discuss cost and timeline impact before doing the extra work.
Reference point
If either of us needs to remember what was agreed, it is written down.

Why discovery matters

For simple websites, we can move fast. For custom systems, discovery prevents expensive mistakes.

Workflow
How does your business actually work, and where does it hurt?
Tools and data
What systems do you use, what data matters, and what needs to connect?
Users and risk
Who will use it, what happens if it breaks, and how will success be measured?

Building the wrong thing is slower than building the right thing carefully.

Plain version. Complex projects may need 1-4 weeks of planning before build work starts.
