The challenge

A design studio with exacting standards had burned through three development shops: spacing drifted, animations were skipped, deadlines slid, and once a contractor emailed their client directly. They needed a developer who treated their reputation as the deliverable.

What was built

  • 01

    Established a fixed intake ritual: annotated Figma files in, a scoped fixed quote back within 24 hours, agreed animation spec before build.

  • 02

    Every build QA'd by overlaying the deployed site on exported artboards at three breakpoints, deviations over 2px get fixed before review, not after.

  • 03

    GSAP scroll choreography implemented from the studio's prototypes, with a performance budget so motion never costs a PageSpeed grade.

  • 04

    All delivery under the studio's brand: their staging domains, their doc templates, communication only through their PM channel.

The outcome

Eleven builds shipped in the first year, all on deadline. The studio raised its web project pricing 20% on the strength of the build quality, and white-label maintenance became a new recurring revenue line for them.
