What happens at each step.

01

We talk

A 30-minute call to understand what you actually want. Not what I think you want.

A 30-minute call, video or in person in Geneva. You tell me about your project, your trade, your constraints. I ask questions to understand, not to sell.

Duration 30 min · free

Deliverables
  • Written recap of the call
  • Initial price range estimate
  • Honest recommendation (even if it's not with me)
What I need from you
  • An idea, even vague
  • Your real constraints (budget, deadline)
  • 20 minutes of attention without your phone

A written recap after the call, so nothing gets lost.
02

I propose

A clear quote with a fixed price. No surprise at the end.

I send you a detailed quote with the fixed price, deadline, deliverables and what's included or not. No jargon, just what you'll get.

Duration within 5 days

Deliverables
  • Fixed quote in PDF
  • Indicative calendar
  • Clear payment terms (50/50 by default)
What I need from you
  • Validation or questions on the quote
  • 50% deposit to block the slot
Quote PDF sketch: line items, gold-highlighted total, handwritten signature.
A fixed, signed quote. What's written is what you pay.
03

We validate together

I show you what it'll look like before coding. You approve, we move forward.

I show you an interactive mockup of each important page before writing a single line of code. You validate, we adjust, we move forward. No surprise at delivery.

Duration at your pace

Deliverables
  • Clickable Figma mockups
  • Three rounds of feedback included
  • Mobile + desktop mockup
What I need from you
  • Your content (text, photos, logo)
  • Your feedback within 5 days per batch
  • Final validation before coding

04

I build

I code, you see the progress in real time on a private link. You can test, report bugs, request adjustments at each milestone.

Duration 2 to 10 weeks

Deliverables
  • Preview link updated at each milestone
  • Functional site by stages
  • Tests on mobile and desktop
What I need from you
  • Your quick feedback at key milestones

A preview link updated at each milestone. You test before launch.
05

It's live

I launch it, train you, and stay available after.

Live on your domain, email configuration, 30-60 min training so you're autonomous. The source code is delivered on GitHub, yours.

Duration 1 day + follow-up

Deliverables
  • Site live on your domain
  • Video training on how to use it
  • Source code handed over on GitHub
  • Documentation to update content
What I need from you
  • Your domain and hosting access
  • Final payment at go-live
  • Availability for training

The source code is yours. GitHub access transferred on launch day.
Clear promises

What I won't do.

Transparency starts with naming what we don't do.

  • I won't sell you a phase 2 you didn't ask for.

    If we stop after the quote, we stop. No sales follow-up, no promo email six months later.

  • I won't bill you in vague hours.

    Fixed price up front. What's on the quote is what you pay. One line, one amount.

  • I won't outsource your project.

    No offshore junior, no agency hidden behind. I code, line by line, in Geneva.

  • I won't leave you dependent.

    The source code is yours. You can edit it, host it elsewhere, leave whenever you want. It's your site.

  • I won't lie about the deadline.

    If I'm running late, I tell you the same day. Not the day before delivery.

  • I won't call you a “strategic partner”.

    You're a client, I'm a dev. Respect comes from clarity, not vocabulary.

On the method, in detail.

  • How many design rounds?

    Three rounds included at design stage. If you want more, we bill hourly transparently. In 90% of cases, three is more than enough.

  • Can I change my mind along the way?

    Yes. As long as it's a minor change (text, color, section order), it's included. If it's a multi-page rework, we talk and I propose a clear addendum.

  • What if I'm slow to validate?

    The deadline extends by the same duration. I warn you as soon as we go over 5 days without feedback. If we go over 30 days, I invoice for work done so far and we resume later.

  • Do you work agile or waterfall?

    More waterfall for small showcase projects (faster), more agile by milestones for apps (more flexibility). We decide at quote stage based on your project.

  • What tool to track progress?

    A preview link that updates at each milestone, plus a dedicated WhatsApp channel for your project. No Jira, no complicated portal. You see the site come to life.

  • And after launch?

    3 months of maintenance included: bugs fixed, security updates, managed hosting. Beyond that, you can take the Hosting & maintenance plan (CHF 800/year) or handle it yourself.
