Service 04 Find out what actually needs doing.
Sometimes it is obvious that something needs fixing but not obvious what. Two or three weeks of interviews, a review of what you have and one working session, written up as a brief. You can build from it with us, put it out to tender, or park it. The fee comes off the project if you go ahead.

Run by Dave Curtin
This usually fits when
Something is clearly wrong but there is no agreement on what.
You need a written brief before budget can be approved.
Several internal priorities are competing for the same project.
Probably not the right fit if
A workshop used to postpone a decision already made.
Speculative creative work before anyone understands the business.

Common questions The things people ask before they call.
What do we get at the end? A written brief covering what has changed in the business, the realistic options, a recommendation with reasoning, and indicative costs for each. It is yours to use with me, to tender, or to keep for later.
How much is it? A fixed fee, agreed before the work starts. It is a small fraction of a full project cost and it comes off the price if you go ahead with me.
Is this just a sales pitch? No. The brief occasionally concludes that nothing should be done yet, or that the problem is not the website at all. That is a legitimate outcome and I would rather reach it early.
How long does it take? Two to three weeks: interviews, a review of your current website and brand, one working session, then the written brief.
Not sure this is the right service?
Describe the situation and I will tell you whether this is the right piece of work, whether something smaller would do, or whether it is too early.
