What to expect

What Happens When You Contact Hawd Design

When you submit an enquiry or book a discovery call, here is exactly what happens next:

1
Within 4 business hours — a personal reply

You receive a personal reply from Hamza Mutevelić (for strategy, web design, and brand identity enquiries) or Selmir Mujagić (for technical, SEO, and e-commerce enquiries) — not from an account coordinator or automated sequence. The reply acknowledges what you have sent, asks any clarifying questions needed to prepare for the call, and confirms the time.

2
The discovery call (30 minutes, video or phone)

Covers your business and the problem you are trying to solve; what has been tried before and why it did not work; your timeline and budget parameters; and an honest assessment of whether Hawd Design is the right fit. If we are not the right fit, we say so and explain why — and often suggest a better option.

3
Within 2 business days — a written proposal

You receive a written proposal specifying scope, deliverables, timeline, payment terms, and fixed price. The proposal is the basis for the contract — there are no figures that appear only after the signature.

Working Across Timezones — What to Expect

Hawd Design operates from Sarajevo in GMT+1 (CET) in winter and GMT+2 (CEST) in summer. The following table shows our office hours in the most common client time zones:

Time Zone Location Our 09:00–17:00 CET
GMT+1 / GMT+2 UK (GMT / BST) 08:00–16:00 / 10:00–18:00
CET / CEST Germany, Austria, Switzerland 09:00–17:00 (full overlap)
EST / EDT US East Coast 03:00–11:00 / 04:00–12:00
PST / PDT US West Coast 00:00–08:00 / 01:00–09:00
AEST / AEDT Australia East 18:00–02:00 / 19:00–03:00
For UK clients Full office hour overlap. Same-day responses, same-day triage on any issue reported before 4 PM GMT.
For DACH clients Full overlap. Standard operating model — same team, same hours you would expect from a local agency.
For US clients We respond to all messages sent during US business hours at the start of the following CET business day — typically within 8–10 hours of receipt. Weekly overlap calls scheduled at a mutually convenient time.
For Australian clients We rely on asynchronous communication tools and schedule fortnightly overlap calls during the CET morning / Australian evening window.

We use Slack for ongoing project communication, Loom for asynchronous walkthroughs and review recordings, and Markup.io for phase-locked design feedback. All client communication is documented in writing — nothing of commercial significance is communicated verbally without a follow-up written record.

The Discovery Call

What We Cover in the Free Discovery Call

The discovery call is 30 minutes. Here is what we typically cover:

10 min

Your business and the problem you're trying to solve

We ask about your current digital presence, who your customers are, and what specific outcome you are trying to achieve — more leads, better organic rankings, a higher e-commerce conversion rate, a credible brand identity for an investor round. The more specific you can be, the more useful the call will be.

5 min

What has been tried before and why it didn't work

Most enquiries come from businesses that have had a previous agency experience that disappointed. Understanding precisely what went wrong — whether it was communication breakdown, technical underdelivery, scope creep, or simply the wrong strategic brief — is essential to knowing whether we can do better.

5 min

Timeline and budget

We ask about both — not to anchor our pricing to your maximum budget, but because timeline and budget constraints determine what is actually achievable. If your timeline is unrealistic for the scope you need, we tell you. If your budget is insufficient for what you are describing, we tell you that too — and often suggest a smaller, correctly scoped alternative.

10 min

Our honest assessment

We tell you whether we are the right fit for your project, what we would recommend, and what a realistic scope and price looks like. If we are not the right fit — because your budget is below our minimum, because your project requires a specialism we do not have, or the brief has problems we cannot solve — we say so, and suggest alternatives where we can.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

All enquiries submitted during CET business hours (Monday–Friday, 09:00–17:00) receive a personal reply within 4 hours. Enquiries submitted outside those hours are replied to at the start of the next business day. We do not use automated email sequences or chatbot responses — the reply comes from Hamza or Selmir directly.
Yes, unconditionally. The discovery call costs nothing and obligates you to nothing. Its purpose is mutual: we assess whether your project is the right fit for our capabilities, and you assess whether our approach and pricing suit your needs. If there is no fit, we part ways. If there is, we follow up with a written proposal.
As much or as little as you have. At minimum: a clear description of what you are trying to achieve and any existing digital assets (current website URL, brand guidelines if you have them, examples of sites or styles you admire). If you have analytics data, budget parameters, or a brief document, bring those too — they make the call more productive. If you have nothing prepared, that is fine; we ask good questions.
Yes. A significant portion of our clients are businesses engaging an external web agency for the first time, or for the first time with a nearshore partner. We structure our briefing and onboarding process to be informative for clients who are new to the model — explaining what to expect at each stage, what decisions you will need to make, and where the risks of misalignment typically occur so we can prevent them.
Yes. Hamza Mutevelić handles enquiries and client management in English, German, and Arabic. Selmir Mujagić handles technical enquiries in English and German. You can write to us, call us, or conduct the discovery call in any of these languages. We will respond in the language you contact us in.
