Process

How we work

Three clear steps — discover what you need, preview before we build, then launch with confidence.

  1. 1

    Discover

    We learn your goals, audience, and constraints in a free consultation. No jargon — just clarity on what success looks like.

  2. 2

    Preview

    You see wireframes and a working preview before we finalize anything. You approve the direction; we handle design, build, and technical details.

  3. 3

    Launch

    We deploy, test, and train your team. Then we stick around for support so you're never left wondering how something works.

Start a project

From idea to signed contract, without the back-and-forth

Tell us what you need and get a proper plan back — usually within one business day.

  1. Step 1

    Describe it in plain English

    Three short steps in your own words. No specs, no jargon, no forms that assume you already know what you need.

  2. Step 2

    We check it's a fit

    Every submission is screened for safety and legitimacy before it reaches our team — so real clients get a fast answer and nobody else gets through.

  3. Step 3

    AI turns it into a real brief

    Scope, user stories, acceptance criteria, risks, and the questions worth asking — prepared for you, so we both start from the same understanding.

  4. Step 4

    Quote, agree, sign

    A clear quote with milestones you can accept or counter, then a plain-English contract you sign online. No surprises, no lock-in.

Start your project

You'll create a free account first — it's how we keep your project details private and your contract tied to you.

About

Built by people who've been on your side of the table.

Viva Studio started with a simple observation: most business owners don't need more tech jargon — they need someone who listens, explains clearly, and delivers software that actually solves problems.

We work with a small number of clients at a time so every project gets real attention. When you work with us, you talk directly to the people building your product — not a sales team or a rotating cast of contractors.

Let's talk
01

Plain English

We explain options and trade-offs so you can decide with confidence.

02

No surprises

Clear scope, timeline, and pricing before we start — and updates along the way.

03

Built to last

Clean code, solid foundations, and documentation you can hand off if needed.

FAQ

Questions, answered

The things business owners ask us most. Still unsure? Just ask our assistant or book a call.

How much does a project cost?

Websites typically start around $900, web apps and MVPs from $2,500, and larger custom builds from $4,500. Every project is quoted individually after a free consultation, so you get an exact, fixed price before any work starts — no surprises.

How long does it take?

A focused website is usually 2–4 weeks, a web app or MVP 4–8 weeks, and larger custom software 8+ weeks. We confirm the timeline with you during the discovery step before we begin.

I'm not technical — will I understand what's going on?

Yes. We explain everything in plain English, show you a working preview before building, and give you regular updates. You'll always know what's happening and why.

Do you work with businesses outside Melbourne?

Yes. The studio is based in Melbourne, and the process is the same anywhere in Australia: consultations happen over video call, and the brief, quote, preview and handover all happen online. Melbourne clients who prefer to meet in person can arrange it.

What happens after launch?

We test, deploy, and train your team, then stick around for support. You can add an ongoing maintenance plan, or we hand off clean code and documentation if you'd rather take it in-house.

Who owns the code and the website?

You do. Once the project is paid for, you own all the code, design, and accounts. We never hold your business hostage.
