What working with us looks like.

Six things you actually get when you hire 1412Labs. No “synergies”, no surprise invoices, no junior offshore handoffs the second the contract is signed.

01

Fixed scope. Fixed price. No surprise invoices.

You sign once. The number doesn’t move because we underscoped. If reality changes, we tell you in writing before any work continues.

02

Senior work, small team.

The people who scope your project are the same people writing the code. No handoffs to juniors after the contract.

03

Ships fast.

Most projects go live in weeks, not quarters. We optimize for boring, shipped software over impressive roadmaps.

04

Built to scale.

Real architecture. Clean code. No template stitching. Day-one decisions assume year-three traffic.

05

One studio, full stack.

Web, mobile, and SaaS under one roof. You don’t manage three vendors.

06

Time-zone friendly.

We work MA hours and overlap with yours. Async by default, sync when it matters.

How it works.

Three steps. No discovery deck, no 14-tab spreadsheet of deliverables, no four-week paid scoping phase.

01   FIT CALL

Book a 15-min fit call.

We talk about what you’re building, what timeline you’re working against, and whether we’re the right shop. If we’re not, we tell you who is.

02   SCOPE / BUILD

Scope and build.

Fixed timeline, fixed price, weekly Friday demos. You see what’s shipping every week. No surprises in week six.

03   LAUNCH

Launch and iterate.

We go live, then improve based on real usage. Most clients stay on a small monthly retainer afterward so improvements don’t pile up.

Selected work.

Five products currently live, across e-commerce, local services, and the App Store. Each one built end-to-end by the same small team.

What we build.

Three engagement shapes. Pick the closest one, or tell us what you’re really after on the fit call.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Didn’t see yours? Ask it on the fit call. We answer every question, even the awkward ones about pricing.

We default to async (Loom, Linear, written specs) so progress does not stall when nobody is awake. For sync, we keep at least three overlap hours with your time zone, including a weekly Friday demo call. Most of our international clients say they hear from us more than they did from agencies in their own city.
Monday we agree on the week’s outcomes. Wednesday you get a mid-week written update. Friday we demo what shipped on a 30-minute call and decide next week’s outcomes. You always know what we are working on and what we are not.
After the fit call we send a one-page proposal with scope, timeline, and a fixed number. That number includes design, development, QA, and launch. If you change scope mid-project we put it in writing as a small add-on, never a renegotiation of the whole contract.
Both, and they happen together. The person designing your screens is in the same room (or Slack channel) as the person building them, so we do not ship a beautiful design that cannot be implemented. If you already have a design team, we are happy to build against your specs.
You own the code and the accounts. Most clients keep us on a small monthly retainer for improvements, bug fixes, and the inevitable "can we add one more thing" requests. If you want to go fully in-house, we do a real handoff with documentation and a walkthrough.
