What happens when you send a message to a studio?
For most agencies, it enters a queue. For Vislixo, it begins a discovery dialogue. We don’t want a finished brief—we want to understand the problem you’re solving.
Our response: A confirmation within 24 hours, followed by a 30-minute discovery call to align on goals, constraints, and whether we’re the right fit. If we are, we’ll send a fixed-price proposal within 72 hours.

“We skip the moodboard phase and go straight to layout because the content structure dictates the design.”
The Vislixo Project Intake Framework
Ambiguity is the enemy of good work. Our intake process is designed to eliminate it quickly, turning a vague idea into a scoped proposal. It’s not about perfect briefs—it’s about finding the right problem to solve.
Discovery Call
30-minute video call. We listen, ask about your business goals, technical constraints, and timeline.
Scope Definition
Within 48 hours, we send a single-page proposal outlining deliverables, timeline, and fixed price.
Contract & Kickoff
A simple agreement, a 50% deposit, and immediate start. No month-long procurement cycles.
Trade-off: Speed vs. Scope
We prioritize a fast, focused MVP (Minimum Viable Product) over a sprawling feature list. This allows us to launch sooner, gather real user data, and iterate with confidence. The trade-off is a reduced initial scope, which we design around.
Key Terms & Our Stance
Fixed-Price Proposal
Our View: Not a quote, but a commitment. We scope tightly, and you pay for the defined output, not hours. This aligns our incentives: to deliver efficiently, not to bill endlessly.
Content-First Design
Our View: We design with real copy, not lorem ipsum. This reveals structural problems early. If you don’t have copy, we help you define it—it’s part of the foundation.
Progressive Enhancement
Our View: We build a functional core that works everywhere, then layer on advanced visuals for modern browsers. This ensures longevity and accessibility.
CMS Agnosticism
Our View: We aren’t tied to one platform. We recommend the tool (Craft, WordPress, or static) that fits your content workflow and budget, not our convenience.
Common Missteps in Initial Inquiries
We’ve received thousands of project requests. Here are the patterns that delay our response—and how to sidestep them.
The "Everything" Brief
Describing 20 features instead of the one core problem. We can’t scope a cloud of features. Start with the user action you want to enable.
No Budget Mention
Fear of quoting numbers creates delays. Providing a range (e.g., €10k-€15k) lets us propose realistically, saving days of back-and-forth.
Vague Timeline
"Sometime this year" isn’t actionable. A quarter or a specific month helps us align our capacity and set clear expectations.
Scope Creep Pre-Call
Requesting a proposal for "Phase 2" features before validating Phase 1 is premature. We’ll discuss phases, but only after the core is defined.
Let’s Start the Dialogue
We read every message. Be specific, be concise, and we’ll reply within one business day.
