eCommerce — The work in progress

04 / How we run it

Performance budgets set before a line of code. Design and engineering in the same room from day one. You own the code, the CMS, and the pipeline outright. No lock-in.

05 / The engagement shape

A marketing site runs 4–8 weeks, a Shopify store 3–6, a full commerce build 6–10, an SEO audit 1–2. Every one opens with a paid discovery week that fixes scope and budget before a line of code.

“ Clients bring the site up on the first call now. A year ago we were the ones apologizing for it. It carries the studio’s standard before we say a word, and briefs arrive better formed because of it. ”

Salma Idrissi · Co-founder, Medina Studio

07 / Straight answers

The questions that stall sign-off, answered before the first call.

Integrations and content volume move the number, not page count — we fix both up front, so the estimate you sign is the invoice you get.
