Strategy 4–6 Weeks High Impact

Discovery & Strategy

A structured immersion into your ecosystem. We map stakeholders, audit existing assets, identify friction points, and architect a phased roadmap before any code is written or pixels are placed.

Current-state audit & competitive landscape analysis
Stakeholder interviews & user persona mapping
Information architecture & journey mapping
Technical feasibility assessment & stack recommendations
Phased delivery roadmap with KPIs & success metrics

Week 1–2: Immersion

Stakeholder alignment, data collection, and existing asset inventory.

Discovery Phase

Week 3–4: Synthesis

Pattern recognition, opportunity mapping, and architectural planning.

Analysis Phase

Week 5–6: Roadmap

Deliverable packaging, success metric definition, and go/no-go review.

Strategy Phase

Production 8–16 Weeks End-to-End

Design & Development

Full-cycle execution from wireframe to deployment. We operate in two-week sprints with continuous stakeholder review, ensuring alignment at every milestone while maintaining technical rigor.

Interactive wireframes & high-fidelity design system
Responsive frontend implementation (React/Vue/Next.js)
Backend architecture & API integration
QA testing, accessibility audit, and performance optimization
Staged deployment & post-launch hypercare (30 days)

Sprint 1–2: Foundation

Design system, component library, and core architecture setup.

Setup & Structure

Sprint 3–6: Core Build

Feature development, API connections, and iterative UI refinement.

Development Cycle

Sprint 7–8: Polish & Launch

QA, performance tuning, content population, and deployment.

Release Phase

Growth Ongoing / Quarterly Data-Driven

Scale & Optimization

Post-launch performance engineering. We monitor, iterate, and optimize based on real user behavior, conversion data, and system metrics to maximize ROI and technical stability.

Performance & Lighthouse optimization
A/B testing framework & conversion rate optimization
Analytics pipeline configuration & dashboarding
Quarterly technical debt review & refactoring
Feature roadmap prioritization based on usage data

Month 1: Baseline

Performance audit, tracking implementation, and KPI establishment.

Measurement

Month 2–3: Iteration

Hypothesis testing, UX refinements, and infrastructure scaling.

Optimization

Quarterly: Review

ROI reporting, technical health check, and next-phase planning.

Strategic Review

Partnership Monthly Embedded

Fractional Retainer
