How We Work

01. Plan

It can be a bit daunting when you decide to start a digital project. The digital world can feel like the unknown; unfortunately, there are plenty of pitfalls to get caught in. We help guide our clients forward, starting with a clear, precise plan. 

Whether this is a quick phone call or an in-depth meeting to go over your goals, our approach is always adaptable. During this phase, we tend to ask a lot of questions. This helps us determine the larger vision, make recommendations and help set you up for success. 

Maybe this is all you need to get started, and that’s great! We’ll set you on your path forward and you’ll be on your way. Typically, though, strategy is just the first step. 

02. Develop

This is where the fingers meet the keyboard (or paper). The strategic plan that was laid out will now lead us into visual implementation, development, or technical discussions. Whether you have internal resources that will be handling this phase – we can help lead any technical discussions and provide guidance through this process. 

If our development team is being utilized then we will utilize our delivery early and often framework as we work through your project. 

03. Partner

This is our favorite phase. The hard work has been done and it’s time to watch you rocket to success. We have built a strong relationship during the previous phases and now we are here to help to you to the best of our abilities. Whether that’s creating growth strategies or just consulting when you encounter a difficult problem, we want you to be successful.

Types of Partnerships

Fixed-Fee Projects

Fixed-fee projects typically have some sort of tangible outcome with a predetermined timeline. Things like small websites,  specific features, standalone audits, or reports are all fixed-fee type projects. 

Time-Based Projects

Sometimes you have a defined budget and timeline and a general goal, but the solution isn’t quite clear. These types of projects allow us to consult and provide guidance and strategic work while the goal evolves. 

Maintenance & Support

As with all things, they just don’t keep working endlessly without some TLC. We don’t typically support tools or technology that we haven’t built, so we suggest building in a budget for maintenance, support, and enhancements as your project evolves. 

Outcome-Based Projects

Outcome-based projects work best when you have a well-defined outcome and requirement with a flexible schedule. Most applications, websites, and new features fall into this category.

Typically larger projects like this are broken down and released in smaller phases. This also aligns with our iterative development methodology.

We help you design create build the solutions you need.

We’re excited to hear about your ideas, goals, or your plans to take over the world. It’s also OK if you haven’t figured it out because that’s what we are here for (and we’re really good at it).
