How we deliver on the date we agree

A clear, repeatable process means fewer surprises. Here is what happens at each stage, what you receive and what we need from you.

  1. 1

    Discovery

    We learn what you are trying to achieve, for whom, and by when.

    What happens

    • An initial call about your goals, users, constraints and deadline
    • Review of anything that already exists: website, software, documents or data
    • Honest advice if we think a smaller or different solution would serve you better
    You receive
    A short summary of what we heard and the questions still open.
    Your part
    Share context, examples you like and any hard dates.
  2. 2

    Scope and proposal

    We turn the conversation into a written plan with a delivery date.

    What happens

    • A scope listing what is included and, just as clearly, what is not
    • Milestones with dates and what you will see at each one
    • A fixed quote or monthly arrangement, with payment terms
    You receive
    A written proposal you can review, question and approve.
    Your part
    Confirm priorities and approve the scope.
  3. 3

    Design

    We decide structure and flow before we decide colours.

    What happens

    • User journeys and wireframes for the key screens or pages
    • Visual design applied once structure is agreed
    • A clickable prototype for review before development
    You receive
    Approved designs and a prototype you can click through.
    Your part
    Give consolidated feedback within the agreed review window.
  4. 4

    Build

    We develop in short cycles and show working results regularly.

    What happens

    • Development in small increments against the agreed milestones
    • Regular demonstrations on a staging link you can open yourself
    • Change requests assessed in writing for effect on date and cost
    You receive
    Working software you can test as it grows.
    Your part
    Test what we demonstrate and supply content on time.
  5. 5

    Test and launch

    We check the details and go live in a controlled way.

    What happens

    • Testing across devices, browsers and realistic data
    • Performance, accessibility and security checks
    • Deployment, domain setup, analytics and a launch checklist
    You receive
    A live product, access to every account and a handover guide.
    Your part
    Final acceptance testing and sign-off.
  6. 6

    Support and improvement

    We stay close after launch and plan what comes next.

    What happens

    • An agreed support window for fixes after go-live
    • Monitoring for errors and performance problems
    • A review of early usage to plan the next improvements
    You receive
    A stable launch and a clear list of next priorities.
    Your part
    Report issues and share feedback from your users.

How we protect the deadline

Most projects slip for the same few reasons: unclear scope, late feedback, unplanned additions and risks noticed too late. Each safeguard below addresses one of them.

Scope in writing

A clear list of what is in and out of scope prevents the slow creep that delays most projects.

Milestones, not one big deadline

Breaking work into dated checkpoints means slippage shows up in days, not at the end.

Change requests with impact

New ideas are welcome. Each one comes with a written note on how it affects the date and cost, and you decide.

Risks raised early

If a dependency, third-party service or missing input puts a date at risk, we tell you as soon as we know.

A deadline is a shared commitment. We can keep ours when inputs such as content, feedback and access arrive on the dates agreed in the plan; if they move, we will show you clearly how the schedule changes.

Have a date in mind? Let’s plan backwards from it.

Tell us what you need and when you need it. We will reply with questions, then a written proposal with scope, milestones and cost.
