How involved do we need to be during the project?

+

We recommend having at least one dedicated point of contact from your team. We'll need feedback at key milestones (design approval, prototype review, UAT) but handle the day-to-day execution.

We use Slack, Notion, and weekly video calls to keep communication smooth. You can be as involved or hands-off as you prefer.

What if we need to change the scope mid-project?

+

Scope changes are normal and expected. We use an agile approach with 2-week sprints, which gives us built-in flexibility. If new requirements emerge:

  • Small changes are absorbed within the current sprint
  • Significant additions are logged as new tasks and estimated
  • We'll discuss the impact on timeline and budget transparently
  • A change order is signed before proceeding with new work

No surprises, no hidden fees.

Communication is core to our process:

  • Daily: Slack updates and progress posts

You do. Upon final payment, all IP — including designs, source code, documentation, and assets — transfers fully to your company. We don't retain any rights to the work we do for you (except for our pre-existing tools, frameworks, or libraries that are licensed separately).

This is clearly stated in our contract before we begin.
