Common questions
Everything you need to know about our transparent approach
Do you offer fixed-price projects?
Yes, after Discovery Session or Define Phase. We prefer to understand your specific needs first so we can provide accurate, transparent pricing that matches your goals.
What’s the typical budget range?
Projects range from $30K–150K+ depending on scope. We work with organizations of all sizes and can recommend phasing approaches for smaller budgets.
Do you work with smaller organizations?
Absolutely. We tailor our approach and recommend phasing for nonprofits, small B Corps, and growing organizations. We believe good development should be accessible to mission-driven work.
How does your B Corp certification affect pricing?
As a B Corp, we’re committed to fair pricing, pay transparency, and building long-term partnerships rather than maximizing short-term profits. We price based on value and relationship, not what the market will bear.
What makes you different from other agencies?
We specialize in values-driven organizations and long-term thinking. We’re not here for quick projects—we want to grow with you and be your technology partner for years to come.
