You already know what to build. We deliver it, merged.
You have a spec. You have engineers. What you don’t have is a design team — and so the thing you decided to build three quarters ago is still a Confluence page with forty comments on it. We take it from there.
Spec.
Bring the PRD. We don’t bill you to figure out what you want — discovery phases exist because most agencies need a quarter of ramp-up before anyone designs anything. You’ve already done that work. We’ll tell you in one call whether it’s ready to build, and then we start on Monday.
Design.
Interaction design, interface design, design system, prototypes — every layer between your requirement and working software. You define the what. We own how it looks and how it behaves.
Build.
Production frontend, in your repo, in your stack, against your conventions and your CI. Not a Figma link. Not a zip file. Not a separate app on a subdomain your team will spend a month absorbing.
Merged.
It arrives as a pull request your engineers review the way they’d review each other’s — and own completely the day we’re gone. No license, no retainer holding your product hostage, no rebuild in six months. You stop paying us when it’s merged.
Almost self-defeatingly honest.
That’s how we track our billable hours. It’s also the entire billing model:
| Discovery phase | None. Bring the spec; we start on Monday. |
|---|---|
| Billable hours | Itemized to the merge. We track them with almost self-defeating honesty — if an hour didn’t move your PR forward, you don’t pay for it. |
| Value-to-billable-hours ratio | Insane. Every hour on the invoice became merged, production code — not meetings about meetings. |
| Retainer | None. You stop paying when it’s merged. |
| First 7 days | If you don’t like what we’ve built, walk away and pay nothing. You keep the code. |
Faster than the alternative you’re actually weighing. Not us versus another vendor — us versus the designer req that’s been open since March, plus the frontend hire behind it, plus onboarding, plus the roadmap you’re not shipping while you wait. We’re a quarter of that timeline, and you stop paying when it’s merged.
“…his amazing ability to take abstract user requirements and turn them into high functioning pieces. If I ever needed something to be pixel perfect, and behave in the way I expected, Scott was my man.”
