From First Conversation to Final Delivery This Is How We Do It.
From choosing the right service model to the final line of code, here’s everything you need to know about working with us.
Flexible Engagement Models Built Around Your Needs
Find the model that works for you.
No two projects work the same way. That’s why we offer six engagement models built around your goals, your timeline, and your budget with fixed cost software development being the most popular choice for companies that want predictability and zero surprises.
Fixed Cost Engagement
Companies with a defined vision who need a trusted senior development partner on a committed price, timeline, and standard.
- Upfront discovery in scope and requirements defined before development begins.
- Fixed price committed and honored … no change orders, no surprises.
- Iterative, agile execution with post-delivery warranty every engagement.
- The price we quote is the price you pay … guaranteed.
- Experienced and skilled senior staff and engineers on every project.
- Warranty-backed delivery. If something isn’t right, we fix it.
Time & Materials Engagement
Projects with evolving requirements, R&D-heavy work, or initiatives where scope needs room to adapt as you go.
- Pay for actual hours worked tracked transparently at every stage
- Ideal for agile development, iterative releases, and exploratory builds
- Flexibly scale across design, engineering, QA, and PM roles as needed
- Adapts easily to shifting priorities and evolving requirements
- Senior engineers tracked transparently — you always know who’s working
- A natural fit for innovation-focused teams who need flexibility
Dedicated Team
Companies with ongoing initiatives who need consistent, scalable senior development capacity without the overhead of hiring.
- Full end-to-end teams fully managed by DCD or co-managed with your in-house team
- Senior engineers assigned to your account, not rotated between projects
- Monthly billing tailored to team size and expertise
- Reliable, scalable capacity without long hiring cycles
- Ramp up quickly with senior talent already vetted and proven
- A long-term partnership model built around your goals, not just your tasks
Support & Maintenance
Live products that can’t afford downtime and need a senior team that knows your codebase, your infrastructure, and your standards.
- Ongoing senior-led support for fixes, upgrades, security, and uptime
- Includes compliance monitoring and infrastructure care
- Flexible SLA packages tailored to your product’s needs
- Peace of mind for mission-critical applications … always on, always accountable
- Avoid costly downtime and technical debt with proactive senior oversight
- The natural continuation of our warranty commitment, we don’t disappear after launch
Strategic Planning
Companies that need clarity before they commit … defining requirements, architecture, scope, and tech stack before development begins.
- A structured 2–6 week engagement with your senior DCD team
- Includes workshops, UX prototypes, architecture blueprints, and roadmaps
- The foundation of our hybrid discovery/agile delivery model
- Gain full clarity and alignment before a dollar of development is spent
- Reduce wasted spend by validating ideas, scope, and architecture early
- Especially valuable for new builds, modernization efforts, and rescue assessments
Custom Engagement
Complex enterprises and scaling businesses whose needs don’t fit a standard model and require a tailored approach built around their specific goals, timeline, and budget.
- We design a custom engagement model specifically around your project
- Blend fixed-cost phases with flexible execution where your project needs it
- Milestone-based, performance-driven, or hybrid structured around your outcomes
- Maximum flexibility without sacrificing accountability or senior standards
- Scales with your business and adapts as priorities and requirements evolve
- A model built for complexity and designed to deliver outcomes not just hours
We Treat Every Project Like It Has Our Name On It
Every engagement starts with a commitment to your timeline, your budget, and your standard. We embed in your world from day one understanding your goals, your constraints, and what success actually looks like for your business. We communicate proactively, flag risks before they become problems, and stay accountable for outcomes not just deliverables. That’s the standard we’ve held ourselves to for 22 years and it’s not one we’re willing to lower.
A 22 year track record isn't built on transactions. It's built on relationships that outlast every project we deliver.
Embedded Partnership
We work inside your world, not alongside it.
Proactive Communication
You hear from us before problems become surprises.
Team Accountability
We own outcomes, not just deliverables.
22 Years of Excellence
A standard refined over hundreds of projects.
How We Take Every Project From Kickoff to Launch
Our streamlined delivery approach ensures enterprise-grade quality, accelerated time-to-market, and the engagement model that best fits your business, budget, and product lifecycle.
.01
DISCOVERY FIRST
Strategic Planning
Before we write a single line of code we start with conversation, align on goals, requirements, architecture, and scope to eliminate surprises downstream.
.02
USER CENTERED
UX / UI Design
We design modern, intuitive interfaces grounded in user research and validated through prototyping before development ever begins
.03
AGILE AND ITERATIVE
Agile Development
Our senior engineers build in focused iterative sprints delivering working software continuously while staying on budget and on schedule.
.04
ZERO DEFECTS
QA & Testing
Rigorous functional, performance, and security testing is integrated throughout every sprint, not bolted on at the end.
.05
SECURE LAUNCH
Cloud Deployment & DevOps
We launch fast and securely on AWS, Azure, or GCP (or your preferred host) with CI/CD pipelines built for reliability, speed, and scale.
.06
ALWAYS ON
Launch & Post-Launch Support
We stay with you after launch monitoring, optimizing, and supporting your product to ensure long-term performance and stability.
Some Agencies Deliver. Some Don’t.
We Guarantee and Deliver Quality Solutions
We built our reputation on both and these are the commitments that protect yours.
Your Budget is Protected
from Day One
We commit to a budget before development begins and we honor it. That commitment is made possible by investing heavily in discovery upfront aligning on requirements, architecture, and scope to eliminate problems before they become costly downstream. Once discovery is complete we build iteratively in agile sprints, staying flexible and responsive without ever losing control of your timeline or budget.
FIXED COST GUARANTEE
If Something Isn't Right After Launch - We'll Fix It
Every project we deliver comes with a post-delivery warranty standard, no negotiation required. If something isn’t working as expected after launch we step in and fix it. No arguments. No extra invoices. No finger pointing. The warranty reflects our confidence in what we build and our commitment to standing behind every solution long after the project ends.
WARRANTY INCLUDED
Fixed Cost Is Our Most Popular Model, But Not The Only One
Fixed cost is the right fit for most clearly defined projects, but we know it isn’t right for everyone. For initiatives with evolving requirements, ongoing development, or complex enterprise needs we offer flexible engagement models that carry the same senior standards, the same accountability, and the same respect for your investment.
RIGHT FIT. ALWAYS.
