Say the real number
Fixed scope, fixed price, before we start. If discovery shows the budget does not fit the ambition, we tell you on the call, not in month three.
About the studio
A small studio that behaves like a product team.
We started 4Bit Digital - Studio because the best work we had ever shipped happened when designers and engineers sat in the same room. Everything about how we run is an attempt to keep that room intact.

01 Our story
How we got here
4Bit Digital - Studio began in 2019 as two people and one stubborn opinion: that handing a project between a design agency, a dev shop and a 3D freelancer destroys more value than any of them add.
So we kept all of it in one place. Strategy, interface design, front end, back end, brand and 3D — one team, one thread, one person accountable.
Seven years later we are a distributed studio across four time zones, and the opinion has not changed. It has just been tested more.
02 Principles
What we actually mean by it
One team, one thread
No account manager relaying messages. You talk to the people building the thing, in one shared channel.
Own everything you paid for
Source files, repositories, 3D projects and documentation transfer to you on final payment. No proprietary lock-in, ever.
Ship, then measure
Launch is the middle of the project. We stay 30 days past go-live to tune what real users actually do.
