Everything we get asked, answered.

Jesse Thomson — founder, Webflow Certified Expert and FlutterFlow developer. The studio is intentionally small so the person you brief is the person who builds. For larger projects (marketplaces, apps), trusted collaborators are brought in and named up-front.

Yes. NZ, the UK, Europe, North America and Singapore are all active. Async-first workflow makes time zones a logistical detail, not a blocker. See how international work runs.

Both. Most engagements start as a fixed-scope project and move into a retained partnership at launch. Pure project work is also fine — there's no obligation to stay on.

Mostly async — Loom for visual updates, Notion for scope and decisions, Slack or email for day-to-day. Scheduled calls happen weekly or fortnightly for decisions that need a real conversation.

Launch tier from $4,900 + GST (small-business sites). Growth from $9,800 (where most clients land). Scale projects quoted per scope. Full pricing.

Hourly rewards slow work and punishes efficient work. Scope-based puts the risk on us to estimate well and gives you a real number before anything starts.

No. The quote is the quote. Third-party costs (domains, hosting, paid plugins, premium fonts) are listed separately and stay in your name.

Standard structure: 40% to start, 40% at design sign-off, 20% at launch. Larger projects split across more milestones.

Launch tier: 4–6 weeks. Growth tier: 6–10 weeks. Larger projects and apps span 10–20+ weeks depending on complexity.

Content. Most delays come from waiting on copy, images or stakeholder sign-offs. We'll flag this early and offer copywriting / imagery as part of scope if you'd rather not source it yourself.

Sometimes. Rush projects cost more because they push other work and require concurrent milestones. We'll be honest if the timeline isn't realistic.

Webflow for design-led marketing sites, clean CMS, fast loading and easy editing without breaking the layout. WordPress for content-heavy publications, advanced ecommerce (WooCommerce), or where you have an existing plugin investment. We'll recommend based on your actual needs.

Yes — fully. All accounts are in your name, all IP is yours, and you can leave any time. Real handover is part of how we work.

Webflow sites use Webflow hosting (AWS-backed, global CDN, automatic SSL). WordPress sites use managed hosting we recommend (or your existing host if preferred). Hosting accounts are always in your name.

Yes. Training is included and we structure the CMS so the team can update content without breaking layouts. Loom training videos are kept for reference.

One codebase that ships to both iOS and Android — typically 50–70% faster to build and cheaper to maintain than native. Performance is excellent for the vast majority of app use-cases. We'll be honest if your specific app needs native instead.

Yes — including the developer account setup, app icons, screenshots, store listings and submission. Both reviews typically pass first time.

Firebase by default — auth, Firestore database, cloud functions, storage. Can also integrate with existing REST/GraphQL APIs if you already have a backend.

We build in Webflow Ecommerce or WooCommerce depending on requirements. Both handle Stripe checkout, inventory and shipping cleanly. Shopify is great too — happy to refer if it's the right call.

Yes — see the O.N.O Rural case study. FlutterFlow + Firebase or WordPress + WooCommerce Multivendor depending on whether you need a mobile app component.

Managed hosting, security patches, performance monitoring, backups, and a monthly allocation of improvement hours. From $280/mo. See tiers.

Retained clients get priority response (under 4 business hours). Non-retained clients get standard turnaround (1–3 business days) at our fair hourly rate.

Any time, 30 days notice. You keep everything — site, accounts, code where applicable.
