How It Works
A detailed look at how we'll work together, from initial discovery to project launch and beyond.
Project Flow
Discovery
- We start with a free 30-minute discovery call where we discuss your project goals, requirements, and timeline.
- I ask detailed questions to understand your business needs, target audience, and technical requirements.
- We explore your vision, pain points, and what success looks like for your project.
- You share any existing assets, brand guidelines, or reference materials that will help shape the project.
- Together, we determine if we're a good fit and if the project scope aligns with your budget and timeline.
Planning
- I create a detailed project plan with clear milestones, deliverables, and transparent pricing.
- You receive a comprehensive proposal outlining the project scope, timeline, and cost breakdown.
- We discuss hosting requirements and I provide estimated hosting costs upfront—no surprises later.
- The plan includes technical specifications, feature lists, and a realistic timeline based on your needs.
- We finalize the agreement and set up project communication channels (email, Slack, or your preferred method).
- All pricing is transparent: you'll know exactly what you're paying for development work and what to expect for ongoing hosting.
Build
- I write clean, maintainable code following industry best practices and your project specifications.
- You receive regular updates on progress—typically weekly or bi-weekly depending on project size.
- Features are built incrementally, and you can test them as they're completed.
- I maintain open communication throughout the build process, answering questions and incorporating feedback.
- Code is version-controlled and documented, making it easy for you or other developers to understand later.
- We conduct regular check-ins to ensure the project stays on track and meets your expectations.
Launch
- We deploy your project to production, ensuring everything runs smoothly in the live environment.
- I handle the initial setup of hosting infrastructure and configure all necessary services.
- All code ownership is transferred to you—you own everything we build together.
- You receive comprehensive documentation covering the codebase, deployment process, and maintenance procedures.
- I provide training or walkthroughs if needed to help you understand how to manage your new system.
- Post-launch support is available to address any immediate issues or questions.
Cost Structure
Our pricing is transparent and straightforward. You'll always know what you're paying for.
Development Work
The cost of development work is clearly outlined in your project proposal. This includes all design, coding, testing, and project management. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Hosting Costs
Hosting costs are managed by me, but you'll receive guidance and estimated costs ahead of time. I'll explain what hosting services your project needs and provide realistic estimates before any infrastructure is set up.
You'll never be surprised by a maintenance bill. I provide clear estimates upfront and keep you informed of any changes to hosting requirements as your project evolves.
All costs are discussed and agreed upon before work begins. Transparency is key to building trust.
Billing & Invoicing
We issue professional invoices for all work completed. Payment terms and schedules are clearly outlined in your project agreement.
Invoices are typically sent at project milestones or on a regular schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) depending on your project structure. Each invoice includes a detailed breakdown of work completed and any applicable hosting costs.
