What to Expect During an Initial Call About Your Project

Expert insights illustrated by a collection of light bulbs to show smart thinking and smart ideas

We understand that you have questions, a buying process, and want to get to know us and how we do things.

That’s exactly what this call is for. It’s a short conversation with our founder to talk about your project, get expert insight and see if it makes sense to move forward.

About the Initial Call

This is a 30-minute call with our founder, Sara MacQueen. It’s a focused conversation, not a sales pitch.

You can choose phone or video. She’ll ask smart questions, listen carefully and give you direct answers.

The goal of the call is to understand your vision and pain points, offer early insight and determine next steps. You’ll also get a ballpark idea of the cost and feasibility.

Who Should Join the Call

We work directly with decision-makers. That means the person on the call should be able to speak to the goals of the project and answer questions about budget, timeline and internal priorities.

How to Request a Call

Fill out our short contact form to start the process. We’ll review your responses and, if it looks like a good fit, we’ll send a link to schedule your call.

We work with companies that:

  • Have a business need for custom software (not a hobby app)
  • Are looking for a custom solution, not off-the-shelf software
  • Have a project budget starting at $5,000

If the project isn’t a fit, we’ll let you know quickly – and may point you to a better resource.

What Happens After the Call

If we’re aligned and you’re interested in moving forward, we’ll either send a proposal or recommend a follow-up call to dive deeper.

Either way, you’ll walk away with more clarity than you had going in.
