Seven steps from the first call to a live product.
Every project we run follows the same path: discovery, plan, weekly sprints, testing, launch and ongoing development. At every step you know what is being built and what you get at the end.
- Build01
Discovery call
In a consultation, online or in person, we learn your goals, your users and the systems you already run. Afterwards you get a written summary of what we understood and the next step we suggest.
Buildscaffold discovery --call✓ mapped goals, users & constraints→ written summary sent- Written summary
- Goals and users
- Suggested next step
- Build02
Scope and estimate
We break the requirements down into features and milestones, then send a written quote with a timeline. You decide whether we work as a fixed-scope project, on a retainer or as a team extension.
Buildscaffold scope --estimate✓ split requirements into milestones→ quote & timeline ready- Written quote
- Timeline with milestones
- Engagement model
- Build03
Architecture and plan
We choose the stack, design the data model and the integrations, and set up the staging environment. Before the first sprint you review the plan and sign off the first milestone.
Buildscaffold plan --architecture✓ designed data model & integrations→ staging environment online- Architecture plan
- Data model and integrations
- Staging environment
- Build04
Build in weekly sprints
We work in weekly sprints and show you a working state on staging every week. You see the first working demo within two weeks, and we adjust priorities together based on your feedback.
Buildscaffold build --weekly-sprints✓ merged reviewed code & tests→ demo live on staging- Weekly demo
- Working first version
- Shared priority list
- Ship05
Review, QA and hardening
Every change goes through code review and automated tests. Before launch we run accessibility, performance and security checks and fix what we find.
Shipscaffold qa --harden✓ passed tests, a11y & performance→ release candidate approved- Automated tests
- Accessibility and performance
- Release candidate
- Ship06
Launch and handover
We launch together, switch on tracking and monitoring, and if a campaign is part of the plan, landing pages and creatives go live the same day. You receive the source code, the access credentials and the documentation.
Shipscaffold ship --production✓ enabled tracking & monitoring→ docs & access handed over- Production release
- Documentation and access
- Source code handover
- Scale07
Scale and maintain
After launch we monitor the system, keep dependencies up to date and add new features. On a retainer, SEO and campaign optimisation keep running too, with priorities agreed every month.
Scalescaffold scale --retainer✓ monitored, patched & optimised→ next iteration planned- Monitoring and maintenance
- Further development
- Monthly priority review
