I run the whole pipeline — scope, design, build, ship, handoff. No account manager, no sub-sub-contractor, no losing a week between layers. Every payment beat is visible from day one: $50 books the intro call, 50% deposit when scope is agreed, 25% at milestone, 25% on delivery.
Intro call → scope locked → deposit.
$50 books the call.
Three-minute form — the package you're leaning toward, the target (site, app, studio system), your timeline, and references. $50 books the intro call so I know you're real. Cal.com confirms the slot the moment Stripe clears.
We agree on what's actually getting built.
We talk for 15 minutes. I pressure-test scope, confirm the turnaround, and write up a fixed quote — same day. If we're not a fit, I'll tell you up front and the $50 keeps the math honest.
50% deposit clears. Build starts.
Once you accept the quote, the deposit invoice lands in your inbox. Stripe clears it and your portal auto-provisions: magic-link sign-in, project timeline, file room, message thread. You're in the dashboard inside a minute.
Design → preview → milestone review.
Preview link inside a week.
Staging URL goes up early. Real data, real interactions, real typography. You leave comments directly on the preview — I don't ask you to markup PDFs.
Iterate against a live staging URL.
You watch milestones tick green in the portal. Deliverables (Figma files, recordings, assets) live on your timeline — not buried in email. At the halfway review, the 25% milestone payment is captured so the back half of the build runs paid-in-full.
Launch → final payment → keys in your name.
DNS, SSL, analytics, cutover.
I cut over when you're ready. Your portal stays open for 90 days of support and quick iterations post-launch.
The last 25%, captured in the portal.
You pay the remaining 25% right inside your portal — same login, same dashboard. It reflects on your invoices the moment Stripe clears. No surprise invoices, no chasing.
Keys delivered. Everything in your name.
Once the balance clears, I transfer the GitHub repo to your account, move the domain, hosting, analytics, and email accounts into your ownership, and invite myself back in only as a maintainer. You own the whole stack. I stay on-call for upgrades, growth work, or a retainer if you want one.
Pick a tier, fill the brief, book the intro call. The next seven steps run from inside your portal once we've agreed on scope.
