Tell us what you're building.

Every inquiry lands in a founder inbox - not a CRM, not an SDR queue, not a routing rule. If we can help, you will hear back within one business day. If we cannot, we will say so directly and often point you to someone who can.

What kind of conversation

Two ways in, depending on where you are.

Most common path

You have a project

For teams with a defined need - a rebuild, a migration, a retainer to take over an existing site or store.

Fill in the brief

30 minutes · founder

You want to talk first

For teams still shaping the problem, comparing partners, or exploring what a retainer could look like. No pitch deck, no slides - just a working conversation.

The brief

A short brief. Six fields, five minutes.

Everything asked here helps us give you a useful first reply. If a field doesn't apply, skip it - we'd rather have a real answer than a filled box.

Read by founder within one business day. No follow-up from anyone but us.

What happens next

Here's the process from your side.

01

Within one business day

You get a real reply from the founder - fit assessment, initial thoughts on your problem, and either a next-step suggestion or a direct redirect if we're not the right fit.

02

Within one week (if we continue)

A 30-minute call to work through the problem - no pitch deck. We come with questions, and you leave with a first draft of what a retainer would look like for your team.

03

Within two weeks

A written proposal with scope, monthly fee, and a start date. Fixed, transparent, no hourly billing. Sign or don't - either way you keep the thinking.

We know most agencies over-promise on speed and under-deliver on clarity. We prefer the reverse.

On the call

What we'll want to understand.

01

Your current state

What you have now, what's working, what isn't.

02

Your team

Who's involved, what they own, where they get stuck.

03

The goal behind the goal

Not "we need a new site" - but what changes for the business if the site actually works.

04

Timing pressure

What's driving the timeline. A launch date, a fundraise, an internal deadline, or genuine flexibility.

05

Budget honesty

Real range, not a placeholder number. We'll tell you within 15 minutes if the budget doesn't match the ambition.

We prefer honest constraints to polished briefs. If any of this is uncomfortable to answer publicly, that's fine - we'll ask on the call, in confidence.

Common questions

Questions we get before the first call.

Do you take on projects with no retainer?

Launch packages exist as entry points (from €5,000, 4-8 week new builds), but they're designed to convert into a retainer on delivery. Standalone one-off projects with no ongoing work - rare, and only for existing partners.

What if we're evaluating multiple agencies?

Encouraged. A retainer is a long partnership - comparing 2-3 studios before choosing is healthy. We're happy to be one of them, and we'll tell you honestly where another studio might fit better.

What if we're pre-revenue or early-stage?

If Webflow or Medusa is genuinely the right tool, we'll take the conversation seriously. But we're not a discount studio - if the budget isn't there yet, we'll say so and stay in touch for later.

Can we sign an NDA before talking?

Yes. Send it with your brief and we'll countersign before the call. For most conversations it's not needed at the discovery stage - we respect discretion by default.

Do you have references we can talk to?

Yes. After the first call, if the fit looks real, we introduce you to 1-2 current retainer clients directly. No canned testimonials.

What if you say no?

You get a direct explanation and, when possible, an introduction to a studio that fits better. Turning down a fit-mismatched retainer is one of our operating principles - not a rejection, a courtesy.

We read every inquiry personally.
