  • Real people
  • Fixed prices
  • No tech talk
Two diamonds. Six steps.

Here is what happens, step by step.

    Requirements gathering

    We start with a 30-minute call. We see how work gets done today.

    What we do
    We look at how work gets done today. The spreadsheets, the paper, the emails, all of it. Then we find what is really slowing you down.
    What you do
    Have a 30-minute call with us, by phone or video. Show us your spreadsheets, paper and emails.
    What you get
    A clear list of what is going wrong, and what a fix could look like.

    Design

    We plan how your tool will work and show you how it will look. It's free.

    What we do
    After the first call, we plan how your tool will work. We build a simple version of the screens, so you can see how it will look.
    What you do
    Join a second call. We show you the plan, and you tell us what is right and what is not.
    What you get
    A clear picture of your tool, before you pay.
  3. 03Step 03 · DecideFixed price

    Cost assessment

    You get one fixed price. Then you say yes or no.

    What we do
    We work out one fixed price, and the date your tool will be ready.
    What you do
    Read it and decide. Not quite right? We can rework the plan until we're both happy. If you say no, you owe us nothing.
    What you get
    A fixed price and a time frame, agreed up front. No hourly bills. No surprises.

    Call us when you need something. A real person picks up.
    What you get
    One care plan each month that covers it all. Bigger changes start a new, smaller diamond, with its own fixed price.
Questions

Things owners ask about the steps.

Why is the first part free?

We want you to see the plan before you pay. It also helps us give you a fair, fixed price.

What if I say no at the price step?

Then we stop there. You owe us nothing.

How much of my time does it take?

Not much. A 30-minute call to start, by phone or video. Then a second call to see the plan. Later, a few short check-ins to try the test version.

What if I need changes later?

Small changes are part of your care plan. Bigger ones start a new, smaller diamond, with its own fixed price.

Why is it called a double diamond?

It's a way designers work. Each diamond opens up to look at lots of ideas, then narrows down to the best one.
