Start your project

Let's talk about your app.

Three ways in, depending on where you are. Pick the one that matches how ready you feel.

What actually happens next

Two working days. Real reply.

When you send project details or book a call, it comes to me directly. I read every submission and reply personally within two working days.

If we’re a fit, we’ll set up a proper conversation about your project. If we’re not, I’ll say so straight and usually point you toward someone who is.

No pitch deck, no closing techniques, no pressure. Just an honest conversation about whether this is the right foundation for your build.

Simon Lee,

Founder and Strategic Director
Send your project details

Tell us what you’re working on.

The more context you share, the more useful our reply will be. Short answers are fine. Simon reads every submission personally.

Your details stay with us. We don’t share, sell, or pass them on.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you reach out.

Foundation work ranges from £10K to £50K+ depending on complexity and scope. More detail on our pricing page. This is more comprehensive than standard agency discovery, but you'll save significantly on the build phase because you'll have complete specifications and flexibility in who builds it.

Six to eight weeks from kickoff to developer handoff, depending on tier and complexity. This includes collaborative workshops, regular review sessions, and complete deliverables at the end. You'll have a clear timeline before we start.

Yes, frequently. Many startups use our specifications with cost-effective build approaches, AI tools, offshore developers, freelancers, to get to market faster and cheaper than traditional agency routes. You should have validated your core idea and have funding or revenue to invest in getting the foundation right.

Perfect. We'll work closely with your technical team, especially during the technical validation sessions. Many clients use us specifically because their developers are brilliant at building but don't have capacity for deep user research and psychology-driven design.

Absolutely. We work with sensitive business ideas and confidential information regularly. Standard NDAs are no problem, and we're happy to review custom agreements.

Pick "Not sure yet" on the form and tell us about your project. We'll recommend the right starting point based on your idea, stage, and budget. The Sense Check at £450 is also a low-risk way to get clarity before committing further.

We work with 2–3 projects simultaneously to ensure quality and attention. Current availability varies, so book a discovery call or send project details to discuss timing. Even if we're at capacity, we can usually schedule your project start within 3–4 weeks.
