Whether it is a website, an app or an ad campaign, the work moves through the same four steps: Dots, Line, Close and Redraw. Dots: Before anything is designed, we fix the points the work has to pass through: the goal, the budget, the deadline and the one number that will show whether it worked. We agree them with you first. Line: Design and build then run as one continuous line, drawn by the same team rather than handed between agencies. You see the work as it takes shape, not only at the end. Close: Launch is where the loop closes. We check the work against the points fixed at the start, then switch it on. Redraw: A kolam is drawn again every morning. Support, SEO, ad campaigns and licence renewals work the same way: done again, on a schedule, for as long as you need them. ### How much does it cost to work with Techrethought?
