No. A rough idea or even just a problem to solve is enough to start. The first conversation is where that gets sharpened, not before it.

It depends on scope; a brand refresh and a full digital rebuild sit at very different price points. The first call is where that gets scoped honestly, not guessed at upfront.

A short discovery call gets scheduled to understand the goal, followed by a proposal; no lengthy sales process before that.

Both work. The service tags above help route the request faster, but a call still happens either way to make sure the right fit gets found.
