Engagement model · Fixed
Fixed-Cost Project Engagements
Most agencies bill by hour and surprise you at month three. We default to fixed-cost engagements — scope, timeline and price in writing before kickoff. Predictable for you, accountable for us.
Best for
- Clearly-scoped projects (websites, MVPs, migrations)
- Buyers who want budget certainty before commitment
- Procurement-driven enterprise engagements requiring fixed PO
- Founders who want to lock cost while building MVP
How it works
30-minute discovery call
We map scope, constraints, timeline and budget. No long sales cycle.
Written scope within 48 hours
We send a written scope document — features in scope, features out of scope, assumptions, deliverables and milestones. Fixed cost.
Build with sprint demos
Sprint cadence with end-of-sprint demos. Scope changes happen via written change orders, not surprises.
Launch with 30-day post-launch warranty
Bug fixes within scope are included for 30 days after launch. Beyond that, retainer for ongoing work.
Pricing
Fixed-cost engagements typically range from $3,000 (small website) to $150,000 (enterprise SaaS). See specific service or sub-service pages for tier breakdowns.
FAQ
What if we want to change scope mid-build?
Standard. Scope changes happen via written change orders — we update the scope, timeline and cost. No surprises on either side.
What about ongoing work after launch?
Ongoing work moves to retainer or hourly. 30-day post-launch warranty covers bug fixes within original scope.
