Varix
What actually happens between "let's work together" and a shipped
product — the same four phases for every project, regardless of service
line.
Why we don't do a single big reveal
A lot of agencies work in a black box: you brief them, disappear for
weeks or months, and see the result at the end — for better or worse.
Varix runs every project — web, mobile, AI automation, RAG, embedded
systems — through the same four phases, each with real checkpoints, so
there's never a surprise at delivery.
01 — Discover
We start with your goals, constraints, and users — not a template. Scope
gets defined before anything gets built, which is also when we tell you
honestly if a project needs less than you think (see how that played out
on the Summit Sports Academy build)
or more (see the Farmsy rollout from web to native apps).
02 — Design
Wireframes and interface design happen in the open, with fast feedback
loops instead of a single big reveal. You see direction early enough to
redirect it cheaply, before engineering time is sunk into the wrong
approach.
03 — Build
Engineering starts once design is stable enough to build against, with
regular checkpoints — no black-box months where nothing is visible.
04 — Ship & Support
We deploy, monitor, and stay involved after launch. This is a
relationship, not a handoff — see our FAQ on post-launch
support for exactly what that includes.
What This Looks Like for Your Project
Timelines and scope still vary by project — see our breakdown of mobile
app development costs for
one concrete example of how scope maps to a real budget. The four phases
stay the same regardless of size.
