Pick the parts your project needs. Each one takes its place on your board, and the board becomes your brief.

How a project runs

Scattered tools and spreadsheets go in. Each week we pull them into one working thing. What comes out runs in order, and it is yours.

  1. Plan

    In the first two weeks we sit with the people who will use the thing, map what exists, and write the plan: what we build first, what it connects to, and a fixed price for that first phase.

  2. Build

    From week three design and code move together. Every Friday you get a working link, not a slide, and decide with us what changes before the next week starts.

  3. Launch and run

    After launch we watch how it is used and fix what the numbers show. Then we hand over the code, the documentation and the accounts, or keep running it for you on a monthly plan.

Why one studio

One team for the whole job. The people who design your page also code it and connect it to your systems.

Nothing gets lost between an agency, a freelancer and an IT contractor. A page that can’t talk to your CRM is half a project; so is a system nobody wants to open. We build both halves.

Who you talk to
The people designing and coding your project
How it’s priced
A fixed price for each phase, agreed before it starts
What you own
All code, designs and accounts, from the first day
What we turn down
Work we can’t do well, said in the first call

Bring us the hard part

Tell us what you need built. We reply within two working days with questions, a first scope and a price range.

Your board is empty. That’s fine: describe the job in your own words.
