Our process

You'll always know
where your project stands.
And what happens next.

Most project anxiety comes from not knowing — not knowing what's happening, what's expected, or when things will land. Our process is designed to eliminate every one of those uncertainties.

Fixed-price, no surprises
Clear milestones at every step
You're never left waiting or guessing

The full process

Six steps. Zero ambiguity.

01
Discovery
Day 1–2
Starts when you submit a brief
Discovery

Within 24 hours of receiving your brief, we review it in full and follow up with any questions we need answered to scope the project accurately. We don't guess — we ask.

We handle
Brief review & intake call (if needed)
Clarifying questions sent within 24 hours
You handle
Design files, brand assets, reference links shared
02
Scope & Quote
Day 2–3
Fixed price. Line-by-line breakdown.
Scope & Quote

We send a detailed fixed-price quote — not a range, not an estimate. Every deliverable is listed, the timeline is confirmed, and all costs are transparent upfront.

We handle
Detailed scope document with line-by-line deliverables
Fixed price & confirmed timeline
You handle
Quote approval & 50% deposit to begin
03
Design Review
Week 1
Before a single line of code is written
Design Review

We review design files for completeness — flagging missing states, unclear breakpoints, or anything that would slow development. If we're designing for you, initial concepts are presented and approved here.

We handle
Design file audit & gap flagging
Wireframes or UI concepts (if design is in scope)
You handle
Design sign-off before development begins
04
Development
Weeks 1–8
The core of the project
Development

We build in structured phases — core layout first, then dynamic content systems, then integrations, then performance optimization. You receive progress updates at each milestone. A staging link is shared early so you can see the build take shape.

We handle
Staging environment set up & shared
Milestone updates at each build phase
Dynamic systems, integrations & content structure built
You handle
Content & copy provided on time per agreed schedule
05
QA & Review
Final week
Nothing ships until it's right
QA & Review

Before handing anything over, we run a full QA pass — cross-browser testing, mobile responsiveness, Core Web Vitals check, broken link audit, and form testing.

We handle
Cross-browser & device testing
Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed audit
You handle
Staging site review & revision requests
Final approval
06
Launch & Handoff
Launch day
Clean handoff. Your team takes the wheel.
Launch & Handoff

On launch day we migrate from staging to live, run a final post-launch check, and hand everything over — access credentials, documentation, and a CMS walkthrough so your team can update the site independently from day one.

We handle
Live migration & post-launch QA check
CMS walkthrough & staff training
Full credential & asset handoff
You handle
Final payment & optional support package
Our guarantees

What you can hold us to — always.

$
Fixed price — no surprise invoices
The price we quote is the price you pay. If scope changes materially, we discuss it before any extra cost is incurred — never after.
You always know where things stand
Milestone updates at every phase. If something is delayed, you hear from us first — we never go quiet.
Nothing ships until it passes QA
Core Web Vitals, cross-browser testing, mobile responsiveness, form testing — all done internally before you see the staging link.
Your team can run it from day one
Every build is handed off with a CMS walkthrough. Your non-technical staff should be able to update content without calling a developer.
White-label partners: complete invisibility
No Targetiv footprint in the code, in communications, or in the handoff. Your client never knows we were involved.
Your role

What makes a project run smoothly.

A complete design file — or a clear brief
Figma or XD files ready to build from, or a clear brief if design is in scope. The more complete the starting point, the faster the build.
Content delivered on schedule
The single biggest cause of project delays is late content. We'll agree on a content deadline at the start — hitting it keeps the build on track.
Consolidated, timely feedback
When we share a staging link, one consolidated round of feedback keeps things efficient. Fragmented or delayed feedback is the second biggest delay driver.
A single point of contact
Knowing who has final sign-off removes ambiguity and keeps decisions moving — especially for agency projects with multiple stakeholders.
