Each one can be booked as a single task, quoted upfront with a deadline. No retainer.
Research, strategy, design and consultation sit at the centre of every project, even when the brief says "just build it".
Most bad decisions start with an assumption nobody checked. The research covers your users, your market, your competitors and the data you already have, and ends with findings your team can actually act on.
Getting founders and managers to agree on the real problem, then turning it into a plan people will follow. It works the same whether you're launching something new, entering a market, or fixing a process that keeps breaking.
Web and mobile interfaces, design systems and prototypes for work that's genuinely complicated. Past work includes USSD menus, procurement tools and partner dashboards. The offline steps get mapped too, because that's often where things go wrong.
Sometimes a team doesn't need a whole project, just someone experienced to sit in and push back. Workshops, advisory sessions and decision reviews for when a hard call is coming up.
When the answer is a product, a site, a doc or a report, Hivemax builds and writes it too.
Websites, web apps and internal tools, handed over properly. Your team gets clean code and notes they can follow long after launch.
A plain review of your product, website or process: what's working and what isn't. You get a list of fixes, sorted by how much each one matters.
Process docs, product specs, handover docs and guides, written so the next person can pick the work up without a meeting.
Research reports, findings write-ups and stakeholder summaries, structured so the main point lands on the first page.
If it involves research, design, building or writing, send it anyway. You'll get a straight answer on whether it's a fit, and a quote if it is.
Send a taskAny field. Any department.
The same four steps, whether it's a research study, a full build or a quick audit.
Research the problem before proposing anything: what's slow, what's broken, and who it affects.
Turn the findings into a strategy and a scoped plan: what gets designed, built or audited, and in what order.
Design, build or review the actual thing, with regular check-ins so nothing surprises you at delivery.
Ship it, write it up, and make sure your team can run it on its own.
A report, a design, a build or a set of docs. You'll get a fixed quote and a deadline before anything starts.
