What Will My Experience Be?
Questions?
-
We'll work with you to determine the estimated time commitment you need from us. This will ultimately drive cost.
Once we establish that, you'll have access to a live dashboard that shows our time tracking so there are never any surprises about how much time we've spent, and where it has gone.
-
The timeline depends on your individual project. But, all of our projects begin with a discovery phase where we learn about all of your needs and objectives. Once we understand that, we'll put together a detailed budget and scope of work which will include an estimated timeline. Keep in mind that there is no cost to get to this point. All time spent learning about your project and creating your project plan is ALWAYS FREE.
Once the timeline is established, we'll work closely with you to ensure scope creep is kept to a minimum. And even if scope does need to change, we'll be up front about how it will affect the budget and timeline.
-
Yes.
Oh, you want to know more? We have a dozen design and development awards. We've worked with some of the largest companies in the world (many of our clients are Fortune 500 companies), and we stay up to date on the latest best practices in our industry.
But most importantly, we have a 97% client retention rate. 97% of our clients continue to use us to this day - over and over again - for all of their digital needs. Clients that signed up 6 months ago are still using us, and clients that signed up with us nearly 20 years ago are still using us. That's the greatest compliment we can receive.
-
When the project starts, you'll be assigned a Client Liaison. This Client Liaison will be your primary point of contact throughout your entire relationship with us.
In addition, we'll merge into whatever communication channels you already have internally (i.e. Slack, Teams, Project Boards, etc.) as well as become part of any ongoing meetings/calls. We'll essentially be an extension of your team.
