Six stages. No standups. One written brief. Working software every Friday.
Week 0 — 3 days
We co-author a 1-page document: problem, constraints, success metric, non-goals. Nothing else starts until this is signed.
Week 1
Information architecture, technical stack decisions, motion principles, and the design tokens that will govern every pixel.
Weeks 2 — N
1-week iteration cycles. Every Friday a working preview ships to staging. Feedback in context, in code — not in PDFs.
Final week
Performance budget enforcement, accessibility audit (WCAG 2.2 AA), security review, full E2E suite green.
Launch day
Zero-downtime deploy, real-user monitoring wired, on-call rotation in place. We watch the first 24 hours with you.
Optional
Monthly retainer covers monitoring, dependency updates, small features. Or full handover with documentation.
