NOTHING IS INVOICED UNTIL YOU CAN CHECK IT

We don’t invoice for work you can’t check yet.

Websites, ecommerce, CRM, ads, SEO and tracking — all on the same terms. Every payment sits behind something you verify with your own eyes: a link you click, a test order you place, an event you watch land in your own dashboard.

SCROLL: AGREED → BUILT → CHECKED → PAID → YOURS
BLUE = IN BUILD · SOLID = YOU APPROVED IT · COINS MOVE ONLY ON APPROVAL
STAGE 1: AGREED BEFORE BUILT01

Agreed before built

What you described, turned into something you can click. You walk every screen and say yes — or change it — before a line of production code exists.

  • Written scope and a fixed price
  • Clickable prototype on a private link
  • Content and asset checklist
  • Your sign-off, in writing
Releases 30% of the project fee
RELEASED ON: Clickable prototype approved
STAGE 2: WORKING, NOT DEMOED02

Working, not demoed

The real thing, on your real data, on a private link only your team has. Log in. Break it. Put your own records through it.

  • Live private build
  • Your real data loaded
  • Accounts and permissions
  • Weekly written build log
Releases 40% of the project fee
RELEASED ON: Working build approved
STAGE 3: FINISHED, NOT ALMOST03

Finished, not almost

The last twenty percent that separates a build from a product — every screen on every device, every error state, every slow connection.

  • Every screen, every device
  • Error and empty states
  • Fast on a weak connection
  • Accessibility pass
No payment — bundled into M2 and M3
GATE: Bundled into M2 & M3
STAGE 4: LIVE AND YOURS04

Live and yours

Your domain, your hosting, your repository, your analytics. We hand over the keys and stay reachable for thirty days.

  • Live on your domain
  • Every account in your name
  • Recorded walkthrough
  • 30 days of direct support
Releases the final 30%, on your approval

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO

Six things. Every one of them gated on proof.

Take one or take the lot. The payment terms are the same promise in each case — you check the work before it is invoiced.

SERVICE 01

Websites & Web Apps

A site that makes your case while you sleep.

People land on your site, cannot tell in five seconds what you do or who it is for, and leave. You have no idea how many.

  • Every screen designed and built
  • Your real content loaded, not placeholder text
  • Works on the phone your customers actually use
  • Fast on a weak connection

NOT FOR: A 200-page content site with an in-house editorial team. Wrong shop — you need a platform, not a build.

30 / 40 / 30
Clickable prototype, on a private link

You walk through every screen yourself, on your own phone, before a line of production code exists.

SERVICE 02

Ecommerce

A store where the checkout is the easy part.

Carts fill up and never convert. Stock says one thing, the shelf says another. Every order is retyped into a spreadsheet by hand.

  • Browsing and checkout built around your catalogue
  • Payments live, tested with a real transaction
  • Stock and order flow connected to how you actually work
  • Whoever packs the boxes can use it without training

NOT FOR: Selling twenty thousand SKUs across four marketplaces. That is an operations problem before it is a website problem.

30 / 40 / 30
You place a real order, start to finish

Before launch you buy something from your own store with a real card, and watch the order land where it is supposed to land.

SERVICE 03

CRM & Internal Tools

Stop running the business out of a spreadsheet.

Enquiries live in one person’s inbox. Follow-ups depend on somebody remembering. When that person is on leave, the week is lost.

  • The work your team repeats every week, built in
  • Your existing records brought across, not re-entered
  • Who can see and change what
  • Training your team, recorded so new joiners can watch it

NOT FOR: Replacing an ERP that forty people depend on. We will tell you that on the first call rather than the third month.

30 / 40 / 30
Your team runs a real week on it

Before we invoice the build, your team puts an actual week of real work through it while the old system is still there to fall back on.

SERVICE 04

Analytics & Tracking

Find out which half of the money is working.

You have analytics installed and it tells you nothing you can act on. Nobody trusts the numbers, so nobody opens the dashboard.

  • The handful of events that actually matter, tracked properly
  • One dashboard that answers your real questions
  • Enquiries traced back to where they came from
  • A written note on what each number does and does not mean

NOT FOR: Proving a channel works when the tracking has been broken for two years. We can start measuring today; we cannot invent last year.

30 / 40 / 30
You watch your own test event land

You open your own dashboard, do the thing on your own site, and watch it appear. If it does not appear, it is not built.

SERVICE 05

Meta & Paid Ads

Spend that you can audit line by line.

Money goes out every month. A report comes back full of impressions and reach. Nobody can tell you what an enquiry cost.

  • Campaigns built in your own ad account
  • New creative every month, not the same three ads
  • Cost per enquiry tracked and reported
  • What we are changing next month, and why

NOT FOR: Rescuing a product nobody wants. Ads make an existing yes happen faster; they do not manufacture one.

MONTHLY, IN ARREARS
The month’s Proof Pack, before the invoice

The Proof Pack lands on day 30. You have five working days with it before you owe anything for the month already worked.

SERVICE 06

SEO

Pages that answer what people actually type.

You rank for your own company name and nothing else. Someone sold you a monthly report of keywords you have never heard a customer say.

  • A ranked fix list, priced before anything is done
  • Pages written and shipped, then confirmed indexed
  • The technical faults that hold the whole site back
  • Search Console evidence you can reproduce yourself

NOT FOR: Results by next quarter. If you need enquiries this month, that is an ads conversation and we will say so.

MONTHLY, IN ARREARS
The month’s Proof Pack, before the invoice

Pages shipped, fixes closed, and Search Console screenshots you can pull up yourself — five working days before the invoice.

HOW YOU PAY

You have already read the terms. Here they are in full.

Two models, because a one-off build and a monthly retainer are not the same shape. One rule underneath both.

THE RULE UNDER BOTH

No money moves until you can check the work yourself.

Project work

30 / 40 / 30

One-off builds. Three payments, each sitting behind something you look at and approve.

AND FIVE THINGS WE COMMIT TO IN WRITING
WHAT WE GATE ON
Work shipped, never results we cannot promise

Any agency that gates its fee on your rankings or your return on ad spend is either lying or about to stop answering the phone. We gate on the things we control, and we show you all of them.

YOUR MONEY
Your media budget never touches our account

Ad spend runs on your card, in your ad account. Our fee and your budget never mix, so there is nothing to reconcile and nothing to take on trust.

YOUR ACCOUNTS
Everything is created in your name on day one

Domain, hosting, repository, analytics, tag manager, search console, ad account. We hold access you can revoke in one click.

GETTING OUT
Thirty days at a time

No minimum term and no notice period on monthly work. The Proof Pack is supposed to do the retaining. If it stops being worth it, leave.

IF WE FALL SHORT
The fee reduces automatically, without an argument

If the deliverables we agreed did not ship, the month is pro-rated before the invoice is raised — not after you notice and ask.

PRICE IT YOURSELF

No "request a quote". Move the sliders.

Real numbers, the same ones we would give you on a call. Project work and monthly work are costed separately — they are never one figure.

An estimate, not a quote — the real number comes after we understand the problem. It moves with the scope, never with what we think you can pay.

WORK

What we built, and what it changed.

Business numbers, not page-speed scores. Each one lists what was checked at every gate before it was invoiced.

LEAD DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE

Our lead developer has spent years building production software, including an AI social-media scheduling platform and an AI product-photography tool, as lead developer at a SaaS company.

Built as an employee, not for our clients. That company owns them, which is why there are no names, screenshots or links here.

AISAASAUTOMATION

AI social-media scheduling platform

Writes the post, caption and hashtags, schedules them, and publishes straight to Instagram, Facebook and other platforms.

ROLE: Lead developer
AISAASIMAGE GENERATION

AI product-photography tool

Turns one ordinary product photo into a professional studio photoshoot, ready for a catalogue or store listing.

WHO YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO

Two developers. No account manager in between.

You will be speaking to whoever is doing the work, which is also why we take on a limited number of projects at a time.

[ HOW WE DECIDED TO BILL ]

Why we put our invoices last

The standard deal in this industry asks you to pay for a promise and find out afterwards whether it was true. You sign, you transfer a deposit, and then you wait — with no way to tell the difference between work happening quietly and nothing happening at all.

For one-off projects the fix has been obvious for years and we did not invent it: split the money across the build and let each payment sit behind something the client can actually look at. Thirty percent when you have clicked the prototype. Forty when the thing genuinely works on your own data. Thirty when it is live and every account is in your name.

The part almost nobody does is apply the same logic to the monthly work. Ads and SEO get invoiced on the first of the month for a month that has not happened yet, and the report — if it comes — arrives long after the money. So we moved it. Your invoice arrives on day thirty, for the month already worked, five days after a Proof Pack listing exactly what shipped. If we fell short, it is pro-rated before you see it. And you can leave at the end of any month.

None of this is generous. It is just the arrangement we would want if we were the ones writing the cheque.
