Q bigger part of your business, which you said is kind of, is kind of web design and, and the consulting. Walk us through, walk us through how a client works for you there. Maybe use I see on the, on your work page, you have the salon company. It looks like you guys redid their website or maybe the, the 39 dollar glasses site. How do they work with you?
A Yeah, so actually a good, a good example might be a university, like Columbia University, who hired us to do this big, 150th anniversary website that they were doing. And, um, you know, client engages us, sometimes they already have a, sometimes they already have a site, sometimes it's a brand new business, you know, we work with huge companies like Google, we do a lot of work for them, we work with tiny little startups that you've never heard of, everything in between. Sometimes that company has just an idea, and they want to hire us to do strategy and figure out how to flesh out that idea into a real Into a real website and business and maybe app or mobile experience. Um, sometimes they have a lot more concrete ideas. So we try to get in as early as possible. We'd love to be part of strategy. We love to be part of figuring out how to take this idea into something that really lives on the web. Um, if they have identity and branding already and logo, that's great. If not, we do that. We sell, you know, branding and identity and logo services as part of our design. Uh, so ideally we design the website, they work with our designers, we do UX, we do wireframes, we do user testing, everything, and then when that's all approved, it goes to our development team, and we build very complicated systems. I mean, we build simple systems too, but, you know, some of our clients are doing mi…

Q this was a call. This was a client call with you. I'm going, Hey Matt, I just sent over the specs earlier today. You know, it was six slides in a PowerPoint. I kind of laid out The piece of technology I want built. I already have the logo and stuff. I just want some of the product and UI stuff built. How's the conversation? How's that negotiation go, Matt?
A Um, you know, I would say it's, uh, it's less of a negotiation at that point and more of a fleshing out. So even when the client thinks they have, you know, a lot of, um, a lot of the details worked out, there's still usually a lot of detail to be figured out. And we do that with them because that's our job to figure out what their business requirements mean technically. So we'll say, all right, you want to do this and this and this, these are your business goals. Well, here's what this means from a technical perspective. We're going to need to build this and this, your server infrastructure is going to need to look like this. It needs to scale in this way. Here's the best tech stack. And we put together A spec, basically, and then a proposal for how long that'll take us to do. Um, and along with what we think the timeline is, and where we think the timeline might have risks. So a lot of times, timeline has client approvals, and a client always says, oh, I can get back to you in two days with approvals, and then they take two weeks, or if it's a very big organization, it might be a lot of bureaucracy, and that's okay. They may need to check with their bosses or coworkers, and that's fine too, but we want to account for those things, and we're giving them a timeline. So we go back and forth with them, and we figure out an estimate and a timeline, and then we start work, and we s…
