How We Work

The sprint model that agencies don't want you to know about

Most agencies spread your project across months to justify retainer fees. We compress all that work into an intense, focused sprint. Two people. One roof. Your undivided attention for 7–14 days.

The Sprint Process
01

Get in Touch

You message us on Fiverr or through our site. We'll have a quick chat about what you need, your timeline, and your budget. No pressure, no pitch decks — just a real conversation about your store.

02

Discovery & Scoping

We audit your current store (if you have one), analyse competitors, and map out exactly what needs to happen. This clarity keeps the sprint focused and prevents scope creep. You'll get a detailed proposal before committing.

03

The Sprint Begins

Once you confirm, you become our only client. Declan handles development and architecture. Megan handles design and brand. We work under the same roof, solving problems across the desk in real time. You see daily progress.

04

Review & Refine

Each day we push updates and iterate on your feedback. Mobile testing on real devices. Performance audits. Cross-browser checks. By mid-sprint, your store is already looking incredible.

05

Launch & QC

Final quality assurance pass — every page, every device, every edge case. We deploy to your live store, verify everything works, run speed tests, and make sure your SEO foundations are solid.

06

Handover & Support

We walk you through the new setup, answer every question, and make sure you're confident managing your store. Post-launch bug fixes are covered. You're never abandoned once the sprint ends.

Who You're Working With

Declan

Development & Architecture

The technical half of Neat. Declan leads every build personally — Shopify Liquid, custom CSS, JavaScript, performance optimisation, and SEO foundations. With over 1,000 projects under his belt, he knows the Shopify platform inside out. No junior handoffs. The person who scopes your project is the one writing the code.

Megan

Design & Brand

The creative force behind every pixel. Megan handles brand identity, UI/UX design, and visual strategy. She ensures every store doesn't just function — it captivates. From colour palettes and typography to conversion-focused layouts, her design decisions are always backed by intent and brand understanding.

Our Working Principles

Zero Handoffs

The people who sell you the vision are the same people building it. No junior interns, no "lost in translation" project briefs.

One Client at a Time

For your sprint duration, you are our only client. No competing priorities. No parallel projects. Full focus.

Daily Visible Progress

No black-box design process. You see new sections, improvements, and features delivered every single day.

Flat-Rate Pricing

No surprise invoices. No hourly tracking. You know exactly what you're paying upfront. Price is locked.

No Bloat Policy

Every element serves a purpose. No unnecessary apps, no bad code, no performance penalties. Clean, fast, focused.

Post-Launch Support

Questions after launch? We're here. Bug fixes? Covered. Small tweaks? Quick turnarounds. You're never abandoned.
