From first call to handover
Five steps, no surprises. You always know what is happening and what happens next.

Twenty minutes. What you are building, what is in the way, and whether this is a fit.
- 02
Proposal

Handover
Code, design files and accounts transferred to you, with a support window after launch.

Who you work with
No team page to scroll. One person runs every project.
Chris
FounderMarshal is deliberately small. The person you meet on the intro call is the person who designs the screens, writes the code and hands over the accounts. No juniors, no account managers, nothing passed down a chain.
FAQs
The things founders usually ask on the first call.
Who will I actually work with?
Chris, directly. Marshal is deliberately small — the person you meet on the intro call designs and builds the work.
How do you price a project?
By the piece of work, not by the hour. Every proposal carries a fixed scope, a fixed price and a finish date.
What happens if the scope changes?
We agree the change and what it costs before anything moves. Nothing gets quietly added to an invoice.
Do you do backend, or just the front end?
Both. Auth, data, billing and third-party integrations are handled properly, not stubbed out or pushed to a no-code tool.
Who owns the code and the design files?
You do. Repository, Figma files and every account transfer to you at handover.
Can you work alongside our existing team?
Yes. That is common — usually taking a surface your team has not got to, or setting the design system they build against.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within two weeks. The intro call will tell you exactly where the next slot is.
