How we work

Transparent and staged — you see progress at every step, from idea to launch and support.

  1. 01

    Project discussion

    We dive into the task: goals, audience, scenarios. We distill the essence and lock the requirements for the first version.

  2. 02

    Estimate & plan

    We scope the work by stages (spec, design, development, QA), propose a timeline and budget with no hidden line items.

  3. 03

    Contract

    We sign the contract and NDA, fixing scope, milestones, responsibilities and the acceptance process.

  4. 04

    Upfront payment

    We start after the first installment (usually 1/3). Then it's payment per completed milestone.

  5. 05

    Design & prototype

    We build the design and a clickable prototype in Figma, aligning screens and logic before development.

  6. 06

    Development & QA

    We run sprints with demos. In parallel we test, fix and do a final check before release.

  7. 07

    Launch & support

    We deploy to production, set up hosting and analytics, hand over the project and support it after launch.
