Why Verna
Small by design, senior by default
Most agencies scale by adding layers: salespeople to win the work, managers to relay it, juniors to do it. Every layer costs you clarity, speed, and quality — and you pay for all of them.
We stay deliberately small instead. Two senior founders, a handful of projects at a time, and a direct line to the people with their hands on your code. You get big-agency engineering discipline with none of the big-agency distance.
Direct founder access
You talk to the person building your product — never an account manager relay.
Senior engineers only
No junior hand-off after the sales call. The people you meet do the work.
Fixed, transparent process
A written scope, a weekly demo URL, and no surprises in the invoice.
Performance & SEO from day one
Speed, accessibility, and technical SEO are built in — not sold as add-ons later.
