The DevX Method.
A 5-stage way to ship.

Six years of building software gave us a method — five stages, clear deliverables, weekly demos. No surprises. Ever.

20+ projects shipped on this method 100% on-time
01

Discover

Week 0 · usually free

A 30-minute discovery call. We learn your business, your users, your constraints. We tell you if we're the right team — and if we're not, we'll point you at someone who is. No deck. No pitch.

$ deliverables/
  • Discovery call notes
  • Rough scope outline
  • Go / no-go answer
02

Define

Week 1 · ~5 days

Scoping sprint. We turn your idea into a one-page brief, a sitemap, and a feature list. You sign off on the brief before we start the build.

$ deliverables/
  • Project brief
  • Sitemap + feature list
  • Project timeline
  • Signed SOW
03

Design

Weeks 2–4 · varies

Low-fidelity wireframes first to align on structure. Then high-fidelity mockups. You see every screen before a line of code is written. Weekly Loom walkthrough, one round of revisions baked in.

$ deliverables/
  • Wireframes (Figma)
  • Hi-fi mockups
  • Component library
  • Approved design system
04

Develop

Weeks 4–10 · varies by scope

Code starts. You get a staging link from day one and a weekly Loom showing progress. Linear board you can read. No black box. We push small commits, often.

$ deliverables/
  • Staging URL
  • Weekly demos
  • Linear board access
  • QA-ready build
05

Deploy + Support

Launch + 90 days included

We launch with you on a call. 90 days of post-launch support included — bug fixes, content tweaks, minor changes. Then you choose: leave us, or stay on a monthly care plan. We don't lock you in.

$ deliverables/
  • Production deploy
  • Loom training videos
  • Source code + docs
  • 90-day support
  • Care plan options

Common questions.

Who owns the code?

You do. Full IP, source code, hosting credentials, design files. You can take over or move to another agency at any time. We'll even help you onboard them.

What if the project gets delayed?

If it's our fault, that's on us. If it's a scope change you requested, we'll send a change order with a new timeline before doing the work. 100% on-time track record across 20+ projects so far.

Do you work outside NZ?

Yes — we work with AU, US, UK, and SG clients. All meetings are async-first (Loom + Notion). Live calls happen at mutually civilized times.

Can I see your contracts before we talk?

Yes. We send our MSA + sample SOW with the discovery call invite. Plain English, no traps, no auto-renewals.
