how we work

How we work

A short, visible process. Every stage has an owner, and whatever reaches production is read and approved by an experienced developer.

01/ stages

The stages of a project

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We learn what you want to solve, for whom, what already exists and your constraints: budget, timing, systems, data.

    Who is accountableThe team leads the conversation and tells you openly whether and how we can help.

    What you getA clear answer: what we propose and what we don’t.

  2. 02

    Specification

    We write down briefly what we build and what we don’t, the main flows, integrations and risks.

    Who is accountableThe team sets priorities and stages, together with you.

    What you getThe specification and a quote, split into stages.

  3. 03

    Architecture

    We choose the technology, the data model, where the app runs, how backups work and where personal data lives.

    Who is accountableA senior developer on the team decides and owns the decision.

    What you getAn architecture outline in plain language.

  4. 04

    Build

    We work in short iterations, on a test version you see early and often.

    Who is accountableThe team writes the code and reviews every change before it reaches production.

    What you getAccess to the test version and visible progress.

  5. 05

    Testing and security

    Automated tests, manual checks on phone and desktop, review of dependencies, permissions and configuration.

    Who is accountableThe team manually checks critical flows and the security configuration.

    What you getA list of what was tested and what remains to watch.

  6. 06

    Launch

    Production deployment, monitoring, backups, handover of access and documentation.

    Who is accountableThe team releases the final version and checks that it works.

    What you getThe product live, access and documentation.

  7. 07

    Maintenance

    Security updates, fixes, new features — for as long as you need.

    Who is accountableThe team approves and applies every change in production.

    What you getA product that stays up to date.

02/ principles

What guides us

  • The code and access are yours

    Code, server, domain, store or payment accounts — in your name, with access for you.

  • Transparent throughout

    You see progress on the test version and know at every moment what is being worked on and why.

  • The simplest solution that works

    We choose the simplest solution that solves the problem. It is cheaper to build and to maintain.

  • Security is not a final stage

    Permissions, personal data and server configuration are designed from the start, not after launch.

  • Running costs matter

    We tell you early what it costs to run the project: servers, external services, licences.

  • No promises we cannot keep

    We do not promise deadlines or numbers before we understand the project.
