How it works
Working with Dept.1 is designed to be clear, collaborative, and capacity-conscious from the very start. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
01
Book a quick call
Every engagement begins with a quick intro to understand your goals and pain points. We can normally provide a preliminary estimate of timeline and budget, plus a brief written summary of our conversation to share internally with your team or board.
02
Get the info you need for a decision
If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule a 60-minute discovery call to dig deeper into your priorities. From there, you’ll receive a one-page proposal outlining the problem, the scope of our solution, and a fixed-bid budget.
03
Get to work
Once the proposal is approved, we begin building by working side-by-side with your team to implement the agreed-upon scope. You’ll receive regular updates that respect your time, along with clear documentation to support self-sufficiency after launch.
04
Ongoing support for your team
After implementation, we don’t disappear. We stay involved through stabilization and support, ensuring staff confidence and addressing any final tweaks or defects.
