Development Department
Sold as Workshop
Builds and iterates on whatever you need, continuously, and hands you the code. From $900/mo.
One developer costs $110,000 a year. One website costs $2,500.
$900 a month gets you as many projects as you want, moving forward every single day — and you can walk away with the code whenever you like.
Every project you have been putting off, all of them, all at once, for less than a month of one salary.
As many projects in flight as you want, moving forward every single day. Internal tools nobody would ever fund as a project. Prototypes. The thing you have been meaning to fix for a year. And the code is yours to walk away with at any point, which is the part most agencies will not offer.
The reason your ideas stay ideas is that every one of them currently requires a quote, a scope and a fortnight of waiting.
How it is priced
Every plan includes a set number of production credits each month — that is how we measure everything we make. A social post is 1 credit, a blog article is 6, a short video is 5, a full commercial is 30. Spend them on whatever mix suits your month.
Roughly two thirds of your subscription is production allowance. The rest is strategy, management, platform and support. We say that out loud because most agencies will not.
If you need more than your allowance, a prepaid block costs $22 a credit and buying à la carte in the moment costs $40. That gap is deliberate: planning ahead should be cheaper than panicking. And if you overspend by more than 40 credits in a month we convert it to a prepaid block automatically and charge you the lower rate.
The Department Stack
This is one of eight departments you can run with us. Every one you add takes another 5% off all of them, up to 20%. That is not a loyalty gimmick — all eight read from the same Brand Brain and the same knowledge base, so your marketing team already knows what your sales team knows. The fifth department genuinely costs us less to run than the first, and we pass that on.
What else is charged
- Setup fee — once, at the start. It covers onboarding, strategy and the baseline we measure against.
- Administration & support — $95/mo per account. Funds 24/7 monitoring, the support SLA, the uptime guarantee and every third-party tool licence. Charged openly rather than hidden in the tier.
- Initialisation — only if we build something from nothing, such as a social channel at $150, a Google Business Profile, a business email domain or an ad account.
Nonprofits get 15% off recurring lines. Businesses based in North Lawndale and the surrounding West and South Side community areas get a further 10% off for the first twelve months.
Exactly what you get
No vague tiers. These are the numbers, and anything past them has a price on the pricing page rather than a quote three days later.

What you get, and how to take it with you
In your portal. A board per project with a preview build on every round, and the changelog of what moved in the last 24 hours.
How you review it. One round of changes a day — accept it, or send back what to change next.
What you can export:
- Repository transfer at any time, no notice needed
- Deployable build artefacts
- Changelog PDF per release
- Architecture and decisions document
Everything exports in an open format and stays downloadable. Cancelling does not take any of it away from you.
