Process
Four steps, no surprises.
- 01
Brief
A call about goals, audience and deadline, followed by a written scope with a fixed price and date.
- 02
Design
Rough layouts first, then final screens. Every step is open for feedback, not only the end result.
- 03
Build
The design turns into code on a preview link, ready to click through on any phone.
- 04
Launch
Deploy, a short handover on running it day to day, and support afterwards when needed.
