The people you would actually be working with

No account manager sits between you and the work. The people who scope your project are the ones who build it, answer your email, and are still around a year later.

Inside the team

How we work together

We are a small team on purpose. It means the person who understands your Shopify theme is the same person who answers when something breaks on a Friday, and nobody has to be briefed twice.

Work moves through a shared board rather than an inbox. You can see what is in progress, what is next, and what we decided to leave for later. Every two weeks we walk through it together.

When something falls outside what we do well, we say so and help you find the right specialist. That happens often enough that it is worth stating up front.

The team

Who you would be working with

Small enough that you will know everyone's name by the second sprint.

What working with us looks like

If you are weighing us against another shop, these are the differences that tend to matter most once the work starts.

You talk to the people doing the work

There is no account layer to route questions through. You email the developer or the designer directly, and you get an answer rather than a status update.

We bill upfront, not by the hour

Retainers are paid in advance, which reserves our time and means a question never arrives with a price tag attached. You will not get an invoice for a phone call.

Accessibility comes standard

Every build meets WCAG 2.1 AA. It is not a tier you upgrade into, and it is not a line item you can cut to save money.

Recommendations come with reasoning

Analytics, research, or a structured evaluation sits behind what we suggest. If we are guessing, we will tell you that it is a guess.

We stay after launch

Most of our relationships are measured in years rather than deliverables. Launch is usually the middle of the engagement, not the end of it.

We hand the keys back

Your team should be able to publish a page, change a menu, and send a campaign without opening a ticket. We train for that and write the short reference to go with it.

What clients are saying

What it is like on the other side of the email

Malak is excellent and super knowledgeable. We've already learned so much from them about how to optimize our website and how we can better approach web design from a CX and engineering perspective.

Common questions

Honest answers to the questions we get most

How big is your team, and who will actually do my work?

We are small on purpose. The people you meet in the consultation are the ones who write the code, do the design, and answer your email. Nothing is handed to a junior resource you never met, and there is no account manager translating between you and the work.

When a project needs a specialist we do not have, we bring in a trusted collaborator and tell you exactly who they are and what they are doing.

Who will I be talking to?

The people who would actually do the work. You will not be handed to a salesperson and then reintroduced to a delivery team later.

Do you work with our existing design or branding agency?

Often, yes. On several engagements the design direction comes from a partner agency and we handle the development that brings it to life. The pattern that works: they deliver comps, we build to them, they sign off. We are happy to sit in the same threads and keep the handoff clean.

Can we talk to one of your current clients before we sign?

Ask and we will make the introduction where the client has agreed to it. We would rather you hear about the working relationship from someone living it than read about it on our website.

Do you use AI coding tools on client work?

Yes, with guardrails. They speed up the parts of the work that are repetitive and well understood. A person reviews everything before it ships, and we do not point them at work with security, privacy, or compliance stakes without a close human read.

Let's talk

Want to meet the people, not the pitch deck?

The free consultation is a conversation with whoever would be doing your work. Bring the problem you are stuck on and we will tell you how we would approach it.

If we are not the right team for it, we will say so and point you at someone who is.
