05 — Apply for a build

This is not
a contact
form.

We take three projects a month and we have to win all three. So the questions below are designed to find the reason to say no. If there isn't one, we will reply within two working days.

Before you start

Don't apply if any of this is true

  • 01You need it live in under three weeks.
  • 02Sign-off runs through more than two people.
  • 03The brief is 'something like our competitor, but better'.
  • 04The design must be approved by a brand guideline written in 2014.
  • 05Nobody in the organisation can name an opinion a rival would disagree with.
  • None of these make you a bad client. They make the guarantee impossible to honour.
The application

Apply for
a build.

Nine questions. A person reads every one of them and replies within two working days, including when the answer is no.

01
02
03
04
Optional

We will look at it before we reply.

05
Design budget

Honest ranges only. We would rather decline now than negotiate later.

06
Timeline

Award-standard work needs room. Under three weeks, the guarantee cannot apply.

07
How many people sign off?

Clause five. Two is the maximum we can work under.

08

The single most useful thing you can tell us. Vague answers are declined.

09
Optional

Logo, name, a colour, a legal constraint — tell us now, not in week six.

Reply within two working days. If it is a no, we tell you why.
