Our Process

From first call to
live product in weeks.

Eight phases. Each one has a clear deliverable. No phase starts without the previous one being done. No surprises. No scope creep. No invoices for "discovery."

Most agencies charge you to figure out what they're building. We show up with a plan and start executing.

01

Discovery Call

30 minutes

A focused conversation about your idea, your market, and what success looks like. No pitch deck required.

WHAT HAPPENS
What are you building and who is it for?
What does the competitive landscape look like?
What's the minimum viable version that proves the concept?
What does 'done' mean to you — and what's the timeline?
DELIVERABLE

Go/no-go decision and a rough scope outline within 24 hours.

🎯
02

Strategy & Scoping

1–2 days

We define the product, the brand, the architecture, and the delivery timeline — in writing, before a single line of code.

WHAT HAPPENS
Competitive analysis: who exists, what they do well, where the gaps are
Feature scoping: what ships in v1, what waits for v2
Technical architecture: stack decisions, data model, API design, hosting strategy
Brand direction: name validation, visual tone, domain strategy
Timeline and milestones with clear checkpoints
DELIVERABLE

A written scope document you can hold us to. No ambiguity.

🎨
03

Brand Identity

2–4 days

Every Burnwire project ships with a complete brand — not just a codebase. This happens in parallel with the build, not before it.

WHAT HAPPENS
Visual identity: logo/wordmark, color system, typography
Domain registration and DNS configuration
Brand voice and tone guidelines
Social profile setup and OG image templates
Design system: component library, spacing rules, dark/light modes
DELIVERABLE

A complete brand asset package — logo files, color specs, type stack, guidelines doc.

⚡
04

Architecture & Build

1–3 weeks

The core build. AI-native development workflows compress what would take a traditional agency months into days. You get visibility throughout — not a black box.

WHAT HAPPENS
Full-stack application development: frontend, backend, database, API
AI-assisted code generation, design iteration, and content creation
Real-time progress updates — you see working software within the first few days
Integration of third-party APIs, payment systems, auth, and data sources
Security-first architecture: encryption, input validation, OWASP compliance
DELIVERABLE

A working application on a staging environment you can touch, test, and provide feedback on.

🔍
05

Testing & Refinement

2–4 days

We break it before your users do. Functional testing, edge case hunting, performance optimization, and final polish based on your feedback.

WHAT HAPPENS
Cross-browser and responsive testing
Performance optimization: load times, asset compression, caching
Security review: dependency audit, penetration testing basics, HTTPS enforcement
Copy and content review — every word on every page
Client feedback round with rapid iteration
DELIVERABLE

A production-ready application with documented test coverage and performance benchmarks.

🚀
06

Deployment & Launch

1–2 days

We don't hand you a zip file. We deploy to production, configure the infrastructure, and make sure everything is live and monitored.

WHAT HAPPENS
Production hosting setup: server provisioning, environment variables, secrets management
Domain configuration: DNS, SSL certificates, CDN
CI/CD pipeline: automated builds and deployments for future updates
Monitoring and alerting: uptime checks, error tracking, performance dashboards
Analytics integration: usage tracking, conversion funnels, key metrics
DELIVERABLE

A live product at your domain — running, monitored, and ready for users.

📦
07

Handoff & Documentation

1–2 days

You own everything. Full codebase access, complete documentation, and a clear roadmap so you or your future team can build on what we shipped.

WHAT HAPPENS
Full codebase transfer to your GitHub/GitLab
Technical documentation: architecture decisions, API specs, environment setup
Brand guidelines document with asset files (SVG, PNG, PDF)
Operational runbook: how to deploy, how to monitor, how to troubleshoot
v2 roadmap: prioritized feature recommendations for what comes next
DELIVERABLE

Complete ownership. Code, brand, docs, infrastructure credentials — all yours.

🛡️
08

Post-Launch Support

Ongoing

The relationship doesn't end at deploy. Burnwire offers ongoing support to ensure your product stays healthy, evolves with your users, and scales when you need it to.

WHAT HAPPENS
30-day bug fix warranty: anything we shipped that breaks, we fix — no charge
Priority retainer option: guaranteed response times for feature work and critical fixes
Performance monitoring: proactive alerts if something degrades
Quarterly check-ins: review analytics, discuss product direction, plan iterations
Scale support: when you're ready to grow, we help you hire or hand off to an internal team
DELIVERABLE

Peace of mind. Your product is supported whether you need us next week or next quarter.

Why It's Different

Traditional agency vs. Burnwire

TRADITIONAL AGENCY
✕2–4 week discovery phase (billable)
✕Proposal → SOW → kickoff → actual work
✕Separate teams for design, dev, and QA
✕Weekly status meetings to discuss progress
✕Handoff = a repo link and good luck
✕Post-launch? New contract, new budget
✕Timeline: 3–6 months for an MVP
BURNWIRE
✓30-minute discovery call (free)
✓Scope doc → build starts within days
✓One builder: design, code, deploy — no handoffs
✓Real-time progress — you see working software daily
✓Handoff = code, docs, brand, infra, and a roadmap
✓30-day warranty + retainer option for ongoing support
✓Timeline: 2–4 weeks for a complete product
