Four stages. No surprises at stage three.

Discovery & threat model

A 60-minute call, your numbers and your constraints. We map the attack surface and the revenue path before touching design.

• Written problem statement and success metric
• Attack surface and data-flow sketch
• Non-negotiables: integrations, deadlines, compliance
• Go / no-go call inside one business day

Architecture & fixed scope

A written specification: pages, data model, integrations, milestones and price. Signed NDA and deposit, then the calendar is locked.

• Page and feature inventory with acceptance criteria
• Data model, roles and permission matrix
• Integration list with owners on your side
• Fixed price, fixed delivery window

Build & harden

Weekly demo, a staging link you can click, one shared channel. Every feature ships with its check; the security review runs before you ever see production.

• Staging environment from week one
• Automated checks on auth, checkout and data paths
• Progress notes every Friday, no surprises
• Load and failure testing before launch

Launch & monitor

Deployment, monitoring, backups and the handover document. Thirty days of included fixes after go-live, then an optional retainer.

• Production deploy with rollback plan
• Monitoring, alerts and backup verification
• Handover: architecture, runbook, credentials policy
• 30 days of post-launch fixes included
