We don't bill hourly. We don't run retainers that don't ship. We don't have account managers. Here's exactly what we do, in what order, and what you get out of each step.
Most studios skip this and end up designing their guess at your business. We don't.
Two weeks. We sit in your standups, read your support tickets, talk to your customers, and audit what already exists. We ship a written brief covering positioning, audience, technical constraints, scope priorities, and explicit non-goals. You sign it, or we re-write it until you do.
Discovery is scoped and quoted separately and stops cleanly here if it turns out we're not the right studio. About 1 in 6 discoveries ends without a build engagement — and that's healthy.
A relay race ends with a dropped baton. We don't hand designs over a wall.
The same three people own design through to ship. Our designers write production code; our engineers ship in Figma. There is no "please tell me what the developer meant" meeting because everyone is already in the room.
Three formal review milestones, weekly working sessions in between. Async written feedback in Notion or Linear, not endless Loom calls. We aim for sign-off in three iteration rounds — anything more usually means the brief drifted, and we re-open phase 01 instead of grinding.
No long "build phases" that surface a final demo three months in. We ship from week one.
Code lives in your repo from day one. Your team gets PR review access; we welcome it. We use trunk-based development, feature flags, weekly tagged releases, and a deployment pipeline you can take over the day we leave.
Stack opinions: TypeScript for product, Go or Rust where performance matters, Postgres by default, Modal for AI infra, Vercel or Fly for hosting. We're stack-pragmatic, not stack-religious — but we won't ship something we can't maintain.
The 30 days after launch are when most projects break. We stay on.
Launch day: positioning, asset kit, press list, ProductHunt run, founder thread, partner co-launches, podcast bookings. We orchestrate it; you press the button. We're on-call the day-of and for 30 days after, with on-call rotation, a shared incident channel, and SLA on critical bugs.
By day 31, you have full ownership: documented codebase, runbooks, deploy keys transferred, and one of our team available for paid follow-on work or referrals to whoever should own it next.
Hourly billing makes vendors care about hours, not outcomes. We quote a number, we ship the work, we eat any overrun. You get certainty; we keep our incentives clean.
Nobody on the team is staffed across multiple builds. The person who designs your hero is the person debugging your billing flow eight weeks later. Context survives.
Every Friday, 30 minutes, working software. No status reports, no Gantt charts, no "we're 60% done." You see what we built; you tell us what's wrong; we ship the fix on Monday.
From day one. We don't hide work in private mirrors. You can pull, you can review, you can fork, you can fire us tomorrow. That's the deal.
If you hire Vedwix, eight specific humans do the work. We don't farm out illustration, content, or "the React parts" to overseas studios you've never heard of.
For AI work especially: we measure quality before we ship features. Numbers in dashboards, regression tests in CI. We publish the ugly numbers, too.
Every project ends with a written handoff package: architecture docs, runbooks, deploy keys, on-call setup. Your future engineers thank us; you save three months of context-rebuild.
To work outside our skill set. To timelines that aren't real. To clients who treat designers like vendors. To AI projects with no eval plan. Saying no is what protects the work.
