Partnership
A senior team on retainer for design, engineering and growth.
From €4,500/ month
- Six-month minimum, monthly roadmap

Not sure which one fits? Most first projects are a Launch that grows into a Partnership. Send two paragraphs and we will tell you which figure applies, within two working days.
02 / Included everywhere
Four things
that never cost extra.
They are how we work, not options on a quote. The same four hold for a six-week Launch and a six-month Partnership.
- 01
One contact
A senior designer or engineer runs your project from kickoff to launch. No account layer in between.
- 02
One board
A shared board you can open any day. Every decision, every file, every demo recording lives there.
- 03
One price
Each phase is quoted before it starts. If we get the estimate wrong, that is our problem, not yours.
- 04
One number
Ninety days of measurement after launch, against the number we agreed to move. Included in every engagement, not sold as an option.
03 / How the price is set
One phase
at a time.
Discovery is quoted before anything else. At its end we quote Design, and so on. If a phase costs us more than estimated, we absorb it. If you change the scope, we re-quote the next phase, never the current one.
- 01
Discover
2 weeksInterviews, analytics review, competitive read and a written brief. We leave with one sentence about what the site is for.
Quoted first - 02
Design
3 to 5 weeksIdentity, type, tokens, then real pages in the browser. Content is written alongside layout, never poured in afterwards.
Quoted at the end of Discover - 03
Build
4 to 8 weeksStatic-first stack, headless content, a shared board and a weekly demo. Your editors are trained before launch, not after.
Quoted at the end of Design - 04
Launch & learn
OngoingLaunch on the date written in the proposal. Then 90 days of measurement against the number we agreed to move.
Quoted at the end of Build

“They asked better questions than our own board did. The site launched on the date written in the first proposal, which I had not believed.”
“Our engineers stopped complaining about the marketing site. In nine years, that has never happened.”
Before you decide The six things
The six things
people ask first.
In the order they usually come up. If yours is not here, ask anyway.
01 Is the price really fixed?
Per phase, yes. Discovery is quoted first. At the end of it we quote Design, and so on. If a phase costs us more than estimated, we absorb it. If you change the scope, we re-quote the next phase, never the current one.
02 Who owns the code and the design?
You do, from the first invoice. The repository is created in your organisation, the design files are in your workspace, and there is no licence to renew. If we part ways, nothing breaks.
03 How long does a project take?
A Launch project takes six weeks. A Platform project takes ten to fourteen. The date is written into the proposal, and in 140 launches we have moved it four times, each time at the client's request.
04 What happens after launch?
Ninety days of measurement are included in every project. After that, most clients move to a Partnership retainer, or simply call when they need something. Both are fine with us.
05 Do you work with an in-house team?
Often. Your designers and engineers join the shared board from day one. We document tokens, components and content models so the hand-over is a formality, not a project of its own.
06 Which technology do you use?
Static-first. Astro for content sites, Next.js when there is an application to run, a headless CMS your editors can actually use, and images served as WebP with responsive sizes. No page builder, no plugin stack to babysit.
Send the brief,
get the figure.
Two paragraphs on the site and the number it should move. A founder replies within two working days with the engagement that fits and a first date.
