1. Discovery Call — Free

Already covered. This is where we align on audience, structure, and the LP/founder balance.

2. Research

Competitive and positioning research — how Aleph, Viola, Kickstart, Lux Capital, and Greylock structure and message themselves, and where Lioncrest’s two-fund story needs to diverge from the standard single-fund pattern. Everything gets shared with you as we go — you’ll see the hypotheses and reasoning behind the direction, not just a final answer.

3. Wireframes + IA

This is where we lock the structure — page hierarchy, how the two funds sit relative to each other, how “Funds and Strategy” maps to the site. I use Lovable to move through this stage with AI-assisted iteration, which cuts what’s normally a 1–2 week wireframing process down to about 2–3 days. That means we can go through a couple of structural variants together and get fully aligned on direction fast, before any visual work starts — so there’s minimal time lost to back-and-forth later.

4. Brief + UI Evaluation

A short, focused brief — about 5 minutes of your time — to pin down your visual preferences precisely. From there, you’ll get 2–3 real visual directions, built with live animation and interaction (not static mockups), so you’re evaluating something close to the actual feel of the finished site, not guessing from a flat image.

5. Full Design + Development

Once a direction is locked, everything moves forward as one continuous phase — full design and build together, not design-then-handoff. You’ll see progress as it happens and get notified on every meaningful change, so there’s never a question of what’s happening or where things stand. This includes structured feedback rounds, and finishes with QA — a full pass to catch and fix errors and bugs across browsers and devices before anything goes live.
