The problem with “normal” projects
Separate teams, long email chains, and moving deadlines cause drift. Weeks pass before anything ships—and momentum dies.
With each new hand-off, context gets diluted and decisions slow down. Budgets creep, priorities blur, and the launch date keeps slipping. By the time anything goes live, the brief and the market have usually moved on.
What our Sprint changes
We compress strategy, brand, site, and launch assets into 10 workdays with one squad and one plan. Decisions get made fast because the work is visible daily.
You’ll see in-progress drafts (not just final reveals), so feedback is timely and specific. We align on one core goal and one primary CTA, keep scope tight, and channel every task towards that outcome.
A simple day-by-day view
Day 1 – Kick-off & Goals: Clarify outcomes, audience, must-haves.
- Align success metrics, choose the primary CTA, and confirm any non-negotiables (e.g., must-use assets, compliance notes).
Day 2 – Messaging: Core promise, proof, and CTA language.
- Turn audience pain points into clear benefits; gather quick proof (stats, quotes, mini case) to support the promise.
Day 3 – Visual Direction: Fonts, colours, key components (with quick approvals).
- Lock typography scale, colour tokens, and a small set of reusable components so design moves quickly tomorrow.
Day 4 – UX & Content Map: Page outlines, sections, and a short sitemap.
- Strip out bloat; plan only what’s needed for conversion. Each section gets a purpose and a CTA path.
Day 5 – High-Fidelity Design: Homepage + key subpages.
- Real copy in real layouts. You review above-the-fold clarity, scannability, and the CTA flow; we capture final tweaks.
Day 6 – Build: Fast, responsive, trackable.
- Clean structure, editor-friendly blocks, and performance basics (image compression, lazy load, semantic HTML).
Day 7 – Assets: Social headers, ad variations, email banner.
- Cohesive launch set aligned to the site’s look and messaging; multiple ad angles for early testing.
Day 8 – QA: Speed, forms, analytics, accessibility passes.
- Test forms, validate pixels and events, check contrast/alt text/labels, and run speed checks on mobile and desktop.
Day 9 – Pre-Launch: DNS, backups, final content pass.
- Tighten headlines, confirm legal copy, set redirects if needed, and prepare a rollback plan (just in case).
Day 10 – Launch & Learn: Go live + first insights + immediate tweaks.
- Verify tracking with real traffic and apply quick wins (headline clarity, hero order, button text) based on early signals.
Why it works
One decision-maker: Clear approvals, no bottlenecks.
- You appoint a single approver who can make calls quickly; we avoid committee delays and keep momentum.
Daily visibility: You see progress every day; feedback is faster.
- Small, frequent review cycles prevent last-minute surprises and reduce rework.
Tight scope: We focus on “must ship” first; nice-to-haves go to a v1.1 list.
- This protects quality and timeline while giving you a clear roadmap for post-launch improvements.
What you receive at the end
- A live site you can edit – modular sections, mobile-first, performance-minded.
- A simple brand kit – type, colour, components, and quick usage notes to keep future assets consistent.
- Launch creative – hero images, basic ad set with copy variations, and matching social covers/email banner.
- Tracking + a light dashboard – traffic, top pages, and key actions surfaced clearly so you can learn and iterate.
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together—fast.”
Is a Sprint right for you?
Choose it if you need to launch in weeks, not months, and you can review daily. It suits teams that value clarity, speed, and measurable outcomes. If you require a large governance committee, multiple vendors, or a sprawling v1 with complex integrations, it’s not a fit—our approach prioritises shipping a focused, high-quality first version and then levelling up with data.
