How we work

A clear process. Transparent pricing. No surprises.

Most small businesses have been burned by an agency. We try to be the opposite of that: clear scope, weekly progress, plain English, and a real number you can plan around.

The process

Four stages, however big the project.

  1. Discovery

    A free call about what you’re trying to fix, who’ll use it, and what success looks like.

  2. Plan

    A short proposal: what we’ll build, what it costs, when it’s done. No 40-page deck.

  3. Build

    Weekly slices. You see progress every week, with time to adjust before things harden.

  4. Launch & support

    We launch, train your team, and stay close the first month. After that, most clients keep us on a small monthly retainer.

What’s different

Why working with us doesn’t feel like working with an agency.

  • You talk to the builder

    Not an account manager relaying messages to a developer in another time zone. The person you call is the person writing your code.

  • Plain English

    No “solutioning” or “synergy” or “leveraging.” If we use a technical word, it’s because there’s no plain version, and we’ll explain it.

  • A monthly rate, no deposit

    One predictable number per month. No four-figure deposit, no surprise invoice at launch. See how pricing works.

  • You own everything

    Source code, accounts, domains. We hand it all over. No lock-in, no “you have to keep paying us forever.”

  • Weekly progress, not a big reveal

    You see what we’re building every week. By launch, there are no surprises. You’ve been driving the whole way.

  • Made in Michigan

    No offshore handoffs, no time-zone games. Owner-operated from Gregory, MI.

Pricing

A monthly rate, not a big deposit.

Instead of a four-figure check on day one, you pay a flat monthly rate. Hosting, monitoring, and everyday changes are included. After the minimum term, you can cancel any time, and you own the source code either way.

Common questions

Things people ask before getting started.

Don’t see yours here? Ask us directly.

Do you take a deposit?
No. We bill a flat monthly rate from the start of the project. No four-figure check up front, no balloon at launch. See how pricing works.
What if I want changes mid-project?
Small adjustments are expected. That’s why we work in weekly slices. Bigger scope changes get a quick conversation about cost and timeline before we move on. No surprise invoices.
What happens after launch?
We stay close for 30 days at no extra cost to make sure things are running smooth. After that, most clients keep us on a small monthly retainer for hosting, monitoring, and ongoing improvements. You own the source code either way, so you’re never locked in.
What if something breaks?
During the 30-day window, we fix it on our dime. After that, if it’s a defect in the original work, same answer. If it’s a new requirement or outside the scope, we’ll quote it.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, when needed. Send yours over before discovery and we’ll review it.
