No two engagements look alike, so the honest answer is usually a conversation. Here is where most of them start.
Most identity and site builds land between eight and fourteen weeks. We scope the timeline in week one, then protect it with a fixed cadence of reviews so nothing drifts quietly.
Both. Launch work is fixed scope with a clear deliverable list, and ongoing partners move to a monthly retainer once the foundation is in place. We will tell you which one actually fits before you ask.
The people doing the work. Auralis stays small on purpose, so the designer shaping your type is the same person on your Friday call. No account layer, no handoff to a junior team you never met.
Often that is the best version. We pair with internal designers and engineers, set the system, and document it so your team can carry it forward long after we have stepped back.
Honesty about the deadline, access to the people who decide, and a willingness to kill the ideas that are not working. Bring those three and we handle the rest.
We work from one studio and partner with teams across time zones. Most of the build happens asynchronously, with a standing live review each week to keep everyone in step.
