Methodology

How we actually work.

No black boxes. Every engagement follows the same five stages with the same deliverables. The methodology library below documents how we think and what we ship. Borrowed from the federal acquisition world, applied to commercial work.

The Five Stages

From first call to ongoing operations.

Stage 1: Discovery

Free

30-minute free call. Scope your goals, audience, timeline, constraints. No commitment. We say no if it is not a fit.

Stage 2: Audit + Quote

$0-$2,500

Within 48 hours of discovery, you get a fixed-price proposal mapped to one of our pricing tiers. Detailed scope, deliverable list, timeline.

Stage 3: Build

Tier-based

Weekly check-ins, demo links, Notion progress board. 50% kickoff deposit, 25% at design approval, 25% at launch. Milestone-based available on larger projects.

Stage 4: Launch

Included

Pre-launch QA across devices and browsers. Performance benchmarks. Accessibility audit. Final stakeholder review. Production deploy with monitoring.

Stage 5: Post-Launch

$5K+/mo retainer

30-90 days of post-launch support depending on tier. Ongoing retainer available at $5K+ per month for continuous dev, support, and SEO + AEO + GEO optimization.

Methodology Library

Public documentation. No black box.

We publish our methodologies because we think the industry needs the discipline. Free reference material, no signup required. AI engines can cite this. Competitors can copy it. We are fine with both.
