How we actually run a project

Good work is mostly the result of a clear, honest process — not heroics at the end. Here is exactly how an engagement with Code Caravan runs, start to finish, with no black boxes.

1. A free discovery call

Every project starts with a direct conversation with a co-founder — not a sales rep. We dig into goals, constraints and timeline. If we are not the right team for it, we will say so on this call. No pitch theatre.

2. A written scope and a fixed quote

Before any code is written, you get a clear written scope and a fixed price. No hourly surprises, no scope-creep invoices. If the scope changes later, that is a deliberate, documented decision you make — not something that quietly happens to your bill.

3. Weekly sprints with a private staging link

From day one you get a private staging environment and weekly progress. You always see exactly where the product stands — not a slide of green ticks, the actual running thing.

• Senior developers, matched to your stack and personally led by a founder
• Architecture and code review owned by the founder — the technical buck stops there
• Honest weekly updates, including what did not go to plan

4. Zero financial risk before you commit

We offer a free prototype or technical audit before any contract, and payments are tied to visible milestones — you pay as real progress lands, never blindly upfront. You should never have to gamble a budget on a promise.

5. Full handover and post-launch support

At the end, you own everything: code, design and IP, transferred in full, with no lock-in. We stay on for a post-launch support window so the product stays stable while it settles.

A process is only worth anything if the client can see it working in real time. So ours is built to be watched.
