The game plan

How the game is played.

Four stages, reviewed in the browser rather than in slides, so there are no surprises at launch.

Opening questions

Opening questions.

Marketing sites, web apps, dashboards and brand identities. If it lives in a browser, it is in scope.

A focused marketing site runs two to three weeks. A product build with real data runs four to eight, depending on scope.

Yes. If you have a usable identity, I design inside it. If it is holding you back, I will say so and quote the fix separately.

First-draft copy is included on every build so the layout is designed around real words, not placeholder text.

Your goal, any existing assets and one decision maker who can approve work. That is enough for the opening.

I take two active projects at a time. Send the brief and you will get a straight answer on timing within a day.
