Understanding Before Pricing
Every project is different. We believe in getting to know your specific needs before discussing numbers. Our consultation-first approach means you get accurate quotes based on what you actually need.
How We Approach Your Project
We've found that rushing into pricing without understanding the full scope leads to surprises later. That's why we start every relationship with a thorough discovery process. It might seem like extra steps, but it saves everyone time and headaches down the road.
-
1
Initial Discovery Call
We talk about your app idea, target users, and business goals. This usually takes about 45 minutes and helps us understand if we're a good fit for each other.
-
2
Technical Requirements Review
We dig into the specifics - what platforms, what features, any special integrations. This is where we identify potential challenges and opportunities.
-
3
Timeline and Resource Planning
Based on everything we've learned, we map out a realistic project timeline and determine what resources will be needed to deliver quality results.
What Goes Into Our Assessment
Honestly, we've seen too many projects go sideways because important details got missed early on. Our assessment process might seem thorough, but it's designed to catch those details before they become expensive problems.
-
User experience complexity - simple login flows versus complex multi-step processes make a huge difference in development time
-
Platform considerations - native iOS and Android apps require different approaches than cross-platform solutions
-
Integration requirements - connecting to existing systems or third-party services can add layers of complexity
-
Design system needs - whether you need a completely new visual identity or are building on existing brand guidelines
-
Future scalability - understanding where you want to go helps us build something that won't need complete rebuilding later
Why Custom Quotes Make Sense
We used to have standard packages, but we kept running into situations where clients needed something that didn't quite fit. Now we build every quote around your specific situation. It takes a bit more time upfront, but the results are much better.
Project Scope
A food delivery app has very different requirements than a fitness tracking app. We price based on actual complexity, not generic categories.
Timeline Needs
Rush jobs require different resource allocation than projects with flexible timelines. We adjust our approach and pricing accordingly.
Team Requirements
Some projects need our full design team, others work well with a smaller group. We match the team to the project, not the other way around.
Support Level
Different clients need different levels of ongoing support. We factor in what makes sense for your team's capabilities and preferences.
