Every project has one fixed fee, agreed in writing before work starts. Brand Foundations start at $4,500, Websites and Go-to-Market at $6,000, Digital Products at $12,000 and AI Brand Systems at $3,500. Where you land depends on what you need, and you'll know the number before you commit. Payment is always split the same way: half to start, half on delivery. For the right partnership, we're also open to equity.

Most projects land in these ranges: Brand Foundations, 4 to 6 weeks. Websites and Go-to-Market, 6 to 8 weeks. Digital Products, 10 to 16 weeks. AI Brand Systems, 2 to 3 weeks. We set the exact dates together before we start, so you can plan around them.

You do, as soon as the final payment is in. You get the final files, source files, guidelines and access to everything we built, organized so your team can use them.

You leave with a written playbook for running your brand the way we would: how it looks, how it sounds and how to make calls about it. It's a simple file your team, and the AI tools they use, can read and follow. Ongoing support isn't included by default, but if you want help down the road, ask and we'll scope it.

Both. We design and build websites and products, and carry the design through to something that works. If you have your own developers, we can hand them everything they need instead.

We choose around the brief, not the other way around. Framer suits marketing sites your team wants to edit and launch quickly. Webflow suits sites with a lot of structured content. A custom build in Next.js makes sense when the site needs to do more, like logins, apps or integrations. We'll recommend one and tell you why.

Tell me anyway. We'll talk through what you need and find the right place to start. Sometimes that's a smaller, focused piece of work rather than everything at once. A free video teardown is a good first step either way.

It's a set of instructions and reference files that teach the AI tools your team already uses, like Claude or Cursor, how your brand looks, sounds and behaves. When someone asks AI to draft a post, a page or a screen, it comes out sounding like you instead of sounding generic. You own it, and we walk your team through it.

Send your website and a line about what you're building. Within 24 hours, I'll send back a recorded walkthrough of your brand and website: what's working, what's getting in the way and what I'd change first. It runs as long as your site needs, no longer. It's free, and if you hire us, $250 is credited toward your project.

Ask for a free video teardown or book a call. You don't need a polished brief, just what you're working on and what needs to change. We reply within 24 hours.

Organizations that want to do good work and be seen doing it: orthodontic practices, churches, childcare centers, logistics companies, sports organizations, agencies and the people behind new products.

Me, start to finish. I'm Austyn, I founded Vaughn, and I do the strategy, design and build on every project myself, from the first call through launch. No hand-offs.
