questions people actually ask
How do you scope and structure projects?
Every project is scoped individually around your goals, timeline, and deliverables. After an initial discovery call, we provide a transparent, fixed proposal so expectations and milestones are clear before we start.
Do we own the site when you're done?
Yes. The project transfers to your account, you get the design files, and we train your team to edit it. Most clients then keep us on for ongoing design and development support.
Can you work with clients outside San Diego?
Most of our clients are remote. We are on Pacific time and run projects over calls and shared documents.
Why hire two people instead of an agency?
Because the two senior people who pitch you are the two who do the work. Nothing gets handed to a junior after the kickoff call.
