Advisory - Free - 30 min
Thirty minutes.A plan you could hand to anyone.
Bring the site, the idea, or just the problem. You leave knowing what to do first, what to ignore, and roughly what it should cost, even if none of it is us.
We publish our working. The study below ran for under ten dollars and landed within a point of independent polling.
Why listen to us
Three things you can go and check.
45 agents, one election
We simulated a national election to within a point of independent polling, on $7.95 of API credits, and published the working.
A written definition of done
Every site we finish is machine-checked against Google, the W3C, MDN Observatory and axe-core before we call it done. The list is public, which means you can hold us to it.
Six workflows in Lisbon
Live webhook routing built for Meetball at Web Summit, running unattended while the event was on.
Before you spend anything
The expensive mistake is made before anyone writes a line of code.
Most sites that get rebuilt were not built badly. They were built to answer the wrong question, and the wrong question was settled in the first week — usually by whoever was also quoting for the work.
Scope is set by whoever is selling
An agency scopes what an agency builds, and it is not dishonest of them. Ask before you are anybody's lead and the honest answer is allowed to be a smaller one.
The order matters more than the list
Most people already know roughly what their site needs. Almost nobody knows which two things to do first, and that gap is the entire difference in what it returns.
Free advice is usually a demo
Thirty minutes that ends in a proposal is a sales call with a friendlier name. This one ends in notes, and the notes are yours whatever you do next.
30minutes
Ten you talk, ten we open your site together, ten you leave with the order to do things in.
3outcomes
You do it yourself, we audit it properly, or we build it. Only the last one costs anything, and we mean the first.
0slides
No deck, no discovery document, no follow-up sequence afterwards. If you want us later you know where we are.
On the call
No discovery, no deck, no slides at all.
First ten minutes You talk. What you are trying to do, and what is in the way of it.
Next ten We open your site together and go through what we see, out loud.
Last ten You get the order to do things in, and what each one is roughly worth.
Afterwards
Three ways this goes, and we mean the first one.
A free call that only pays off if you hire us is a sales call with a nicer name. This one is worth your time in all three cases.
You do it yourself
Take the notes and go. They are yours either way, and most of what we say does not need us.
We audit it properly
The written version, with the measurements behind it. Still free.
We build it
That is the point where we talk about money, and not before.
Some people come back six months later. That is a perfectly good outcome and we will remember the conversation.
When we are not it
We are two people. If what you need is a room of specialists and a procurement process, this call will be pleasant and not very useful.
Thirty minutes, whenever suits.
No charge, and no obligation to do anything afterwards.
