Sprintly Designs

How we work and why we beat agencies

The agency model has one problem: it costs too much. 3 to 5 times more than it should, because between you and the person doing the actual work there is an account manager, a project manager, sales and an office on the high street.

You pay for the brand and the address. The project goes to a junior who writes the first draft, then a senior revises it, then a PM sends it. At every step something gets lost — context, intent, the nuance that came up in the first discovery call.

We chose to work as a tight studio for one reason: you pay for design and development work, not for the company structure. We design, code and deliver. Full accountability, zero passing the buck between departments.

The result: pricing that does not wreck an SMB budget, and quality that no middleman can dilute.

Why we charge £0 upfront

This is not a marketing trick. It is inverted risk.

The standard agency model: you pay 30–50% before work starts. The agency has cash, you have a promise. If the result is bad, you fight for a refund or give up and lose money.

Our model: we risk our labour, you risk your time on the brief and review. If we deliver a site you do not approve, you do not pay. Zero. It happened once in 3 years that a client was unhappy. We fixed it for free until they were satisfied.

It is a trust signal that closes more conversations than any discount. You enter the project with no financial risk. We have every incentive to deliver something great — because if we do not, we do not get paid.
