We typically work with clients within the following project brackets:
1. Fill out our contact form.
2. After our call, we will create a scope of work document for you to review, revise and approve.
3. Once the scope of work is approved, we will send out a contract for you to review & e-sign.
4. Once the contract is reviewed & approved, we will send out an initial 50% invoice due to begin work.
5. Upon completion of the invoice, we will set-up communication channels and schedule our kick-off call.
The most effective way for our team to understand the deliverables of your new web project and
how you should spend is for you to create a scope of work and send it in to us.
If
it's a simple project, sending a sitemap of all the pages included within your project scope
will be okay to start.
Here's some steps to follow if you're not
sure where to start with your scope of work:
1. Send us a list of the pages you want on your site (sitemap/information architecture). Doesn’t necessarily have to be detailed
or final. We just need an idea.
2. Send us 2-3 websites that you love and think represent your vision for your new website in
some way, either aesthetically or in functionality.
3. Tell us if you need a logo & brand identity or if we’ll be working with your current brand
assets.
4. If you already have the designs for your site completed (in Figma, Sketch, Etc) and now need
the design developed out in Django, send us the designs to review and we can go from there.
Our team will take in all of this information and create a scope of work proposal for us to
review. Once you’re ready, we can review the SoW Proposal together over a follow-up call.
For a new website, redesign, migration or development:
50% before we start. 50% when you’re 100% thrilled and we’re ready to
hand-off.

It’s easier to diversify our team and find top talent when we aren’t limited to location. Our team is distributed between Shimla, and Tibilsi. We’re big on communication and process management, but that doesn’t hold our creatives back!
We’ve been here from the start. Since 2013 we’ve been utilizing Django within our tech stack to provide unique full-service development solutions for inspiring brands.
Along the road, we’ve learned that making clients happy takes a bit more than just outstanding design & development skills. Successful projects take seamless communication, total transparency, tried and true processes, and revenue-minded project management.
Our goal as an agency is to make it as straightforward as possible for our clients to communicate their needs, get consultation, and implement a high quality solution.
Django Experts are experienced freelancers & agencies who Django has certified and trusted as professional experts.
Yes we do, please contact us to learn more.
Yes, we have a few trusted partner agencies that we work closely with that we can recommend for ongoing SEO.
This is not in our wheelhouse, however we have a trusted partner who can build a custom plan to handle your monthly blog content depending on your needs. This process starts by defining your voice, tone, and messaging strategy.
We are 100% hands on for launch. We will launch the site for you and make sure everything is in full working order. After the launch, we’re with you for 30 days. Any weird things, issues, or ‘OMGs, we totally forgot this tiny little thing’, - we’re here for you un-billed and as part of the original project scope.
After 30 days, we will of course still be available for priority questions via phone/email, you
can purchase pre-paid "hour blocks" for ad-hoc development tasks, updates, and
consulting. Anything larger than 40 hours and we will talk about a custom plan.
Most design & development projects take between 1-3 months.
This will heavily depend on the scope of work.
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Built by experienced developers, it takes care of much of the hassle of Web development, so you can focus on writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel. It’s free and open source.
Yes, we specialize in Logo, Brand ID, and high-end marketing websites only.
If you aren’t sure about the design or the strategy we have implemented, then let us know. We’ll always be here to talk through why we designed something a particular way or why your strategy is the way it is. We want you to feel confident and excited about your project. If something doesn’t feel right about it, then we’ll work together to find a solution that works.
Yes, we’re comfortable working within certain brand guidelines and utilizing your current logo & brand ID and are happy to give recommendations for improvements without completely redesigning your brand ID.
Django was designed to help developers take applications from concept to completion as quickly as possible. Django takes security seriously and helps developers avoid many common security mistakes. Some of the busiest sites on the Web leverage Django’s ability to quickly and flexibly scale.
Yes, we have a couple options here.
1. Keep your current design, and redevelop the
site in Django while keeping the current design & URL/SEO structure.
2. Go through our comprehensive website redesign & development process to create a brand new meaningfully designed website, developed in django.
Yes, you can! We will need you to send over the completed source files so we can review the complexity of design, interactions, and content - then we can give you a proper SoW proposal. Alternatively if you're looking to rebuild your current website within Django, then just send us the domain to your current website for us to review.
If you’re currently unhappy with your site speed chances are we can make it much faster within Django. Sometimes all it takes is compressing the site content or Redis Cache and other times we need to implement JS lazy load and other tactics to keep a site delivering at lightning speed.
