Initial Contact
The first time you reach out — and the information that'll help us give you a sharper answer sooner.
Updated 06 Jun 2026

How to get in touch

There's no need to introduce yourself formally — a couple of sentences about what you're trying to do is plenty.

What happens after you reach out

  1. We read your message and decide who's best placed to respond — usually within hours, always within one working day.
  2. We reply with either an answer (if your question is self-contained) or a short follow-up to set up a call (if a back-and-forth will get us there faster).
  3. From there we move into the Brief & proposal stage.

What to have ready

You don't need to prepare anything to make first contact. But the more of the following you can share up front, the faster we can give you a useful response:

  • What you're trying to do. A goal in plain language is more useful than a list of features. "I want to launch a small online shop for handmade soaps within three months" beats "I need a WooCommerce site with Stripe and a custom theme."
  • Where you are today. Existing website? Domain? Email addresses? Hosting? Knowing what you already have saves us asking.
  • Timeframe. Even a rough one — "before the holidays", "this quarter", "no rush" — helps us suggest the right scope.
  • Budget. Not a number we'll hold you to — just a range. It shapes what we propose, and avoids us coming back with something twice or half what you had in mind.
  • Anyone else involved. A co-founder, a partner agency, an existing IT provider — if they'll be in the conversation, it helps to know.

If you don't have all of this yet, send the message anyway. We'd rather get the conversation started and fill in the gaps together than wait for a perfectly-prepared brief.

What we won't ask for at this stage

  • Personal financial details.
  • Passwords or access to any existing service.
  • Signed contracts.

If we ever do need any of these later in the relationship, we'll explain exactly why before asking.
