An honest view of whether we’re the right fit, and where we’d start. The 30-minute call covers your business, your goals and where you need help.
Planning the work
Bring the problem you want to solve and the people who need to be involved. Your current website, brand guidelines, examples and known requirements all help. We’ll ask for any other information or access as the brief takes shape.
We agree the scope in writing before work starts. It sets out the objectives, deliverables, responsibilities, information we need from you and review points.
Most website projects take 4 to 16 weeks. Other work depends on its scope, and we confirm milestones once we’ve seen your brief.
Websites, brand identity, search, paid media and website care have published prices, in rand and excluding VAT. Other work is quoted on its scope, and your formal quote confirms the price.

Working together

Through the channels and review points we set with you at the start. Each update covers what’s done, what needs deciding and anything holding the work up.

Everything your scope sets out: the deliverables, file formats, access and any training or documentation, with usage rights and third-party licences spelled out.
Ongoing support
