Why Precode (and how we compare)

Agencies run eight to twelve week timelines, juggle dozens of clients, put juniors on the work and lose half the budget to overhead. We deliver in five days, work on one project at a time, have senior people do the work, and you own the code.

You can — if you remove the things that make projects slow. Precode designed 100+ screens for Navmii, an app used by 30 million people, in five days. The speed comes from senior people, exclusive focus and a proven process, not shortcuts.

Speed isn't the enemy of quality — meetings are. Five focused days with two senior people on one problem produces better work than three scattered months of overhead. Precode delivers quickly by cutting the noise, not the craft.

With a big agency you pay for account managers, juniors and layers. With us, the people you meet are the people doing the work — 50+ years of experience, products used by 30 million people, delivered directly.

Freelancers need managing, vary in quality, offer a single perspective and have variable availability. We bring a proven process, two senior perspectives and no management overhead.

Small is the advantage. No account managers, no juniors, no layers means the senior people do the work and your budget goes to what matters. Precode has delivered 100+ sprints this way, with a 5.0 Clutch rating.

The fixed price is agreed against a scope in the pre-flight call, and the guarantee is that Precode keeps working until that scope is delivered. Daily show-and-tells make any shortfall visible immediately, not at the end.

Offshore can be cheaper per hour but adds management overhead, timezone friction, rework cycles and a quality gamble. With us you get high certainty, same-timezone working and direct access to the people deciding things — often at a lower total cost.

Cheaper per hour rarely means cheaper overall once you add management, timezone friction, rework and the quality gamble. Senior work done right in a week often costs less than a "cheap" option dragged over months.

Hiring takes three to six months plus onboarding and ongoing cost, and locks you into a £60–80k/year commitment before you know it's right. We give you immediate senior capacity at a fixed cost with no ongoing commitment.

No-code suits landing pages and simple internal tools, but it doesn't scale, looks template-based and creates vendor lock-in. We build real, custom code that's production-ready and fully yours.

The output is production-ready, documented and owned by you, on the same stack Precode uses for its own revenue-generating products. It's senior people directing and reviewing AI, not AI shipping unsupervised.

Workshop-style sprints produce alignment and sketches. We produce production-ready designs, tested with real users, or deployed software you own — not just a workshop output.

A sprint isn't a normal project done faster — it's a different model. Remove organisational drag, focus entirely on one problem, and show progress daily. The structure is what produces the speed and the certainty.

For most products, extended discovery is overhead. The interface itself is the discovery tool — design it, test it with users, and you learn what matters far faster. Precode validates in a week, not a quarter.

Marketplaces are a talent lottery you have to manage. We're a proven two-person senior team with a process and a verifiable track record.

With Precode you own everything — the GitHub repository, every line of code and every configuration, transferred to you. No clause to chase, no lawyer required.

Iteration after launch costs around ten times more than iteration in design. Getting it right first, in a week, saves months of rework.

Maybe they can code. But will it be production-ready, tested with users, maintainable by other developers, and done in a week? The gap between "can code" and "can ship a product" is where projects fail.

Design isn't decoration; it's the product working well. Treating UX as a final coat of paint is why products fail. Precode designs the interface first, because that's where you discover what to build.

Cheaper per hour, yes — but factor in management, timezone friction, rework and the quality gamble, and the total cost often exceeds ours, over months instead of a week.

Strategy without execution is just advice. Precode thinks strategically and delivers tangible things — designs you can build from, software you can put in front of users — in the same engagement.

Because we take so little time. Higher rates over five focused days often cost less overall than a "cheaper" agency over three months — and you get certainty.

Senior product designers, one project at a time — validated designs or working software in a week, with no busywork.
