— How we build

A system that actually fits how your business works.

Not a template. Not a workaround. Scoped in writing, built in three weeks, handed over with the code.

How you pay
40%on scope signoff
60%on launch day

Not a cent before there's something to see. The price is fixed in writing before any work starts.

— 01 / The 3-week process

Fifteen days. All of them planned.

Every milestone is shared in your portal. You always know which day the project is on and what lands next.

— Week 01 · Scope

Onboarding & scoping

We turn your problem into a written PRD. You approve the spec before a line of code is written. No scope surprises mid-build.

— 02 / What you get

Everything included. No surprises in the invoice.

Written PRD

A real spec document, approved before build. So we both know what "done" means.

Branded client portal

Live project dashboard with your logo, where every approval and update lives.

Proofing system

Click any screen, leave a comment. We reply with a fix and a new build overnight.

Code ownership

GitHub repo, hosting, database — transferred to your accounts on launch day.

Handoff docs

A README any developer can read. No tribal knowledge, no lock-in to us.

30 days of fixes

Anything broken after launch gets fixed free. Hosting and support optional after that.

— 03 / Client portal preview

Every Make It Flo project ships with a branded portal. Approvals, milestones, the PRD, and feedback all live in one place — not in a 47-message email thread.

— 04 / The awkward questions

What happens when it doesn't go to plan.

What if the scope was wrong?

That's what week one is for. The PRD is approved before the build starts, and if scoping shows the real job is bigger, you get a revised quote — not a started project.

What if I want changes mid-build?

Small ones are absorbed. Anything outside the PRD gets quoted separately, so the fixed price stays fixed.

What if I'm slow with feedback?

The clock pauses, not the price. Three weeks assumes same-day replies during proofing — we'll tell you exactly when we're waiting on you.
