Engagement Model - Fixed-Price Project

Fixed-Price Project

You get a written scope, a fixed price, and a milestone-based payment plan before we write a single line of code. The price on the scope document is the price on the invoice. Shopify builds, CI4 apps, WordPress themes, security audits, and marketing setup sprints - all available as fixed-price engagements.

How It Actually Works

What fixed-price means. And what it does not.

Fixed-price works when both sides are honest about scope. Here is exactly what we guarantee, what we need from you, and what a scope change looks like.

What we guarantee

  • Price does not change after scope is signed
  • Deliverables list is contractual
  • Timeline agreed and signed against
  • 30-day bug fix period on all dev projects
  • Staging environment before final delivery
  • Code / creative is yours at handover

What we need from you

  • A clear brief before scoping begins
  • Timely feedback within the agreed review windows
  • Content, assets, and credentials on time
  • One decision-maker with approval authority
  • Scope changes go through a change order process
  • Sign-off at each milestone before proceeding

What scope creep looks like

  • Adding features not in the original scope doc
  • Changing the tech stack mid-project
  • Requesting additional integrations after scoping
  • Expanding the number of pages or user roles
  • Changing design direction after approval
  • We quote all additions as separate change orders
Is This Right for You

Six signs fixed-price is the right engagement model.

You know what you need built

You have a brief, a wireframe, a competitor to reference, or a clear description of the deliverable. Enough clarity to define a scope - not necessarily a full spec.

You need a number before you can commit

Finance needs a PO. The board needs a budget line. Your stakeholder needs a number to approve. Fixed-price gives you a real figure before a rupee is spent.

This is a one-time build, not ongoing maintenance

A new Shopify store. A security audit. A web app. A landing page sprint. Discrete, deliverable-defined work - not ongoing management or iteration.

You want milestone-based payment

Pay on delivery, not by the hour. Fixed-price naturally structures into milestones - 30% on start, 40% on staging, 30% on sign-off. No surprises.

It is your first engagement with us

Fixed-price is a lower-risk way to start. You see how we scope, how we communicate, how we deliver - before committing to a longer retainer relationship.

You have an investor or launch deadline

Fixed-price with milestone delivery gives you a hard date to plan around. We build the timeline into the scope document and sign against it.

The Process

From brief to delivered in 5 steps.

No surprises. No silent billing. Every step is defined, approved, and signed before we move to the next.

1
Discovery & brief

You share your requirements - a brief, wireframes, a competitor reference, or a call. We ask the questions needed to scope accurately. No guessing.

2
Scope document

A written scope: deliverables list, what is included, what is not, assumptions, and revision rounds. You approve before we touch code.

3
Milestone plan + price

Fixed price broken into milestones - typically 30% start, 40% staging, 30% sign-off. Timeline confirmed. NDA signed if required.

4
Build + regular updates

Weekly async update via Notion or WhatsApp. Staging environment for your review. No surprises between milestones.

5
Handover + sign-off

Staging approved, all deliverables confirmed, code handed over or deployed. 30-day bug fix period included on all development projects.

FAQ

Fixed-price questions we answer every week.

Share a brief - we produce a scope and price within 5 business days. No cost, no obligation.

Get a Scope & Price
What happens if the scope changes mid-project?
Scope changes go through a formal change order - a short written description of the addition, the additional cost, and the impact on timeline. You approve before we proceed. We never add work and bill for it later without your written approval.
What do you need from us to produce a scope and price?
A brief describing what you need built, roughly how many pages or features, any design references, and your target launch date. We do not need a full spec - we ask the questions that fill in the gaps.
How long does scoping take?
For straightforward projects (Shopify theme, security audit, analytics setup): 2–3 business days. For complex web applications with multiple user roles or integrations: 5–7 business days. We do not quote without understanding the scope.
Is the 30-day bug fix period really free?
Yes. For all development projects - Shopify, CI4, Laravel, WordPress - we fix bugs caused by our code for 30 days after handover at no charge. This does not cover new features or changes requested after sign-off.
Can we split payment across milestones?
Yes - this is standard on all projects above Rs 40,000. Typically 30% to start, 40% on staging approval, 30% on final handover. For larger projects we add intermediate milestones. Payment terms are defined in the scope document before work begins.
What if we are not happy with the result?
The scope document includes revision rounds - typically two rounds of feedback per major phase. If the deliverable does not match the approved scope, we fix it. If you want something different from what was agreed, that is a change order. We have never had a project end without sign-off - we do not ship until you approve.
