Fixed price. Fixed timeline. Just validated designs or working software - in five days.
Why a 5-day sprint?
Traditional design and development projects take months and cost a fortune. A sprint delivers validated designs or working software in one week at a fraction of the cost.
No busy-work
Precode is the antithesis of a traditional agency. Our clients need senior design and development expertise, and they also need to move fast, ship, learn and iterate.
Start date, end date
Crazy, huh? When you schedule a sprint you get a start date and an end date. Multiple sprints? No problem.
Fixed price
Working with Precode means an end to mystery pricing structures. Our pricing is simple and transparent. Every sprint costs the same.
Schedule us in
Because we deliver on time, every time, you can plan launches, board meetings and engineering resource with confidence.
One week. One team. One thing done properly.
Everybody talks about going from idea to product like it takes a year and a committee.
It doesn't. It takes focus, taste, and five days of senior people working on your problem without distraction.
A sprint is a fixed-price, fixed-timeline engagement. You bring the idea - a sketch on the back of an envelope, a feature your team can’t prioritise, a product that’s fallen behind. We spend half a day scoping it together. Then we work on it, Monday to Friday.
Every evening you get something real: a clickable prototype or a working URL. Not a mockup. Not a progress report. A thing you can click, tap and test. Friday afternoon, you own the files, the code and the documentation.
It's like hiring a cabinetmaker. You describe what you need. They build it. You take it home.
No committee. No six-month timeline. Just the thing you asked for.
What is a 5-Day Sprint?
Sprints are the fastest way to turn ideas into validated designs or working products. Design a new product, improve an existing one, build and deploy a V1, or bring validated designs to life with code.
Five days, a fixed price, an agreed start and end date.

What happens each day?
A sprint is an intense collaborative process for delivering exceptional results. In order to achieve this we follow a disciplined, consistent approach each day, whether we are designing or building.
Morning standup (with client)
What we did yesterday, what we're doing today, any client feedback from yesterday's show-and-tell.
Execution
The entire sprint team focused on your product - in Figma, in code, or both.
Show-and-tell
At the end of each day we'll send you an email with a link to the prototype or live URL, plus a video screencast of us presenting our work.
Two outcomes. Same sprint.
Every sprint runs the same way: same team, same week, same price. What changes is what you take home on Friday - designs your developers can build from, or software your users can sign up to.
UX Sprint
Pixel-perfect designs in five days
Pixel-perfect designs, interactive prototypes, and user testing. Everything your developers need to build it right.
- Validate a new idea
- Improve an existing product
- Design a new product
- Interactive prototype
- User testing included
- Figma files + design system
V1 Sprint
Working software in five days
Deployed product at a live URL. Full code ownership. Real users can sign up and use it immediately.
- Design + build a new product
- Ship a V1 fast
- Add features your team cannot prioritise
- Deployed at a live URL
- Full code ownership
- Technical documentation
The sprint journey
Every sprint starts somewhere different. They all end up in the same place: something real, on Friday.
Sounds familiar?
You’re 6 months in, £60k down and still nothing is live?
Developer-first means design-last
Engineers get a brief, write the code, and design is bolted on at the end. If at all. The experience drifts from the brief. The result looks wrong and works worse.
The agency route
Three months of discovery phases, wireframes, and “phase one” presentations. You still don't have designs you can build from or software you can use; your runway keeps burning.
The offshore gamble
Cheap per hour, expensive in reality. Time zone friction, management overhead, re-work cycles. The code works but the experience is unusable and now you are six months in.
Where the sprint works best
New idea or live product, design or build or both - every engagement starts as one of these four situations. The team is always the same: two senior people, one project at a time.
Validate
De-risk before you build
Align your team, de-risk a decision, or take the guesswork out before briefing developers. A working prototype beats a slide deck every time.
Create
Zero to one
Creating something new. New functionality through to entire products - designed, built and deployed. Your technical co-founder fell through? We’ve got you.
Improve
Re-invigorate
Improve the look and feel or user experience of an existing product, website or app. Rescue a build that’s gone wrong.
Unblock
Roadmap is full. This can’t wait
A feature that keeps getting bumped to next quarter. Internal IT takes six months. Use external velocity without derailing the core product.
Don't just build a good product. Build the right product
Battle test before you build
Development is expensive. Battle test your new product, feature or idea before handing over to developers - or let us build it in the next sprint.
Make sure you're building the right product, first time. Prototype with your team and test with real users. Learn from real user data - not guesswork - to help innovate faster and more effectively. Validate your assumptions, quickly align your team around an idea and execute.
Validate your product with a low-cost high-fidelity prototype in just 5 days. Then, when it's right, build it in five more. Don't just build a good product. Build the right product.
“Designs were delivered super-fast - much faster than other agencies were proposing. We were blown away by how much high-quality work they achieved in a short space of time.”
Oliver Savill
Director, Test Partnership
Is it right for you?
A sprint isn't right for everyone. Here's an honest look at where it works - and where it doesn't.
Challenge us
Design and build challenges come in all shapes. Whatever you bring, we can tackle it in a sprint - or a few.
Web app design
Design or redesign of a web app, complete with a UI Kit and Design System
Mobile app design
UI design for a new mobile app, or redesign of an existing mobile app.
Onboarding
Improve registration conversion rates, improve retention and decrease churn
Design system + UI kit
In-depth product audit and creation of a complete UI Kit - allowing you to move faster in the future.
Apps with real functionality
Authentication, database, payments, API connections. Waitlists, booking systems, task managers, directories - built and deployed in one sprint.
Multi-sided platforms
Different user roles, payment flows, email automation, admin dashboards. Marketplaces, SaaS with billing, community platforms - two sprints.
Complex applications
Real-time functionality, AI integration, multi-step workflows. EdTech, fintech, healthcare scheduling - three or more sprints.
Failing product turnaround
Our framework for identifying problems, designing solutions, testing with real users, and shipping the fix.
Recent sprints
Real case studies and practical advice for building better digital products, faster.
Everything you get in a sprint
No hidden costs. No “that’ll be extra”. Here’s the complete picture. What’s included in every sprint, and what we guarantee.
What’s included
- Pre-flight scoping call (half-day)
- Daily morning standups
- Daily prototype or working URL
- Daily Show & Tell recording
- Two senior people, one project at a time
- Figma files, design system and UI kit (UX Sprint)
- Deployed product, full code ownership and docs (V1 Sprint)
- 30-day warranty (bug fixes + support)
Our guarantee
If on the final day of the sprint you don't have what we agreed on in the pre-flight scoping call - tested designs or working, deployed software - we keep going and there is no additional charge until you do. No asterisks, no conditions.
“The finished UI and UX via Figma that was provided to us exceeded our expectations and provided a clear vision for the team to implement across all mobile devices.”
Aaron Ashby-Gittins
CEO, Navmii
Better products, faster, with our proven process

Expertise
Plug in a world class product team
No design or development team internally? No problem. No prep required.
Muscle
Add some extra 'oomph' to your team
We get it. Sometimes you need extra bodies, extra weight and a fresh perspective to throw at a project.
Speed
Move fast, ship, learn and iterate
Precode is the antithesis of a traditional agency. We use a fast-paced, agile approach to product design and development.
FAQs
A five-day rapid product design service. You get production-ready designs, an interactive prototype and user testing results in one week - fixed price, fixed timeline. Everything your developers need to build the right thing first time.
Yes - deployed at a live URL, not a prototype. The pre-flight scoping call is where the magic happens: we agree exactly what the V1 needs to do, then spend five days building only that. Small on purpose, working properly, live on Friday.
Yes - because the week is designed around one thing. Two senior designers, one project, no juggling. We've run 100+ sprints and the constraint is the point: decisions get made, work gets tested, and on Friday you have dev-ready designs rather than a plan for designs.
A five-day rapid product development service. You get deployed, production-ready software at a live URL - real users can sign up and use it immediately - with full code ownership transferred to you. Fixed price, fixed timeline.
Very little. We run a pre-flight call to agree the scope, and we ask you to nominate one decision-maker who is available for a 15-minute standup each morning. Bring whatever exists - a brief, an old product, a back-of-envelope sketch. We handle the rest.
Modern, boring-in-a-good-way technology: TypeScript, React/Next.js, and a managed database and hosting platform your team can run without us. No exotic frameworks, no vendor lock-in - any competent developer can pick the codebase up.
