A Young Brand. A Team Shipping Since 2020.
Sakura is new as an agency; the people in it have been building commercial products since 2020. We don't charge for a big name, so every project is run personally by a co-founder — and the price stays honest.
Why “Sakura”
Cherry blossoms bloom exactly when they're ready. We launch products the same way — on time, and genuinely ready.
Who We Work With
Founders building a real product, and teams whose processes outgrew spreadsheets. A website, a mobile app, a complex platform, or a game — if it can be built, we'll find the right person for it and stand behind their work. Need a developer on your own team instead? We place them through outstaffing.
How We're Structured
The core is the co-founders and leads who run every project personally and answer to you for the result. For a given task, we bring in vetted developers and designers on a contract basis — they're not sitting on staff waiting for work, they're assembled into a team for your project specifically. You pay for expertise matched to the task, not for another agency's idle headcount.
A Global, Remote-First Team
Our team works across time zones, so projects keep moving overnight. That's how we can bring in the right specialist fast, wherever you or they happen to be.
One Team, and You Talk to Us Directly
You always deal with a co-founder or the tech lead — they run your project start to finish. For specific tasks, we bring in specialists from a vetted contract network, not the first available freelancer off a marketplace.

The team has been shipping since 2020. The process on this page is what we do, not what we plan to do.
2020
Three people, one rule
The future Sakura team takes on its first commercial projects as three: a designer and two developers. One rule: one accountable team per project, never a relay of freelancers.
2021
Design and code, one team
Design and development run as one team, so design hand-offs stop being someone else's problem. First clients outside Europe sign on.
2022
Remote-first by default
The team goes fully distributed across time zones — async updates and weekly checkpoints become the standard process, not an exception.
2023
Growth joins the scope
Launch stops being the finish line. Retainers for SEO and marketing turn one-off builds into multi-year client relationships.
2024
AI automation practice
A dedicated practice for custom agents and workflow automation, built for teams drowning in work that shouldn't be manual.
2026
Where we are now: the Sakura brand
Six years of the team's experience, now under its own name. Same rule the first three started with: one team owns the result, assembled for the task from a vetted network — from websites to games and outstaffing.
Our Process
No improvising, no black box. Here's exactly what happens, step by step.
- 1
Brief
Tell us what you're building, for whom, and why. 15–30 minutes, async or on a call.
You provide: Goals, rough scope, any existing materials.
You get: A reply shortly: initial questions or the date your proposal will arrive.
- 2
Proposal
We turn your brief into a fixed scope, timeline, and quote. You know the price before work starts.
You provide: Answers to any scoping questions.
You get: A written proposal with deliverables, milestones, and price.
- 3
Design & Build
Weekly cycles you can see, not one big reveal at the end. Design and development run in parallel.
You provide: Feedback at each checkpoint (usually weekly).
You get: A live staging link updated as we build, not static decks.
- 4
Launch
QA, performance checks, and a go-live checklist. SEO, analytics, and monitoring are ready before launch.
You provide: Final sign-off.
You get: A launched product, plus a handoff doc covering everything we built.
- 5
Grow
Launch is where real data starts. SEO and marketing keep going based on how users actually behave.
You provide: Ongoing goals as they evolve.
You get: Monthly reporting and a standing plan for what's next.
How Pricing Works
No price list — on purpose. A landing page and a marketplace shouldn't cost the same.
Why We Don't Publish a Price List
- Corporate agencies quote high to cover overhead you're not using.
- Freelancer rates look cheap until scope creep multiplies the hours.
- We quote the actual scope, once, so the number doesn't move later.
- Sakura as a brand is younger than the big agencies, and we're not charging a premium for a name yet — the price reflects the work, not a reputation you'd otherwise be paying for.
Your proposal follows soon after the brief — see the process.
What Affects Your Quote
- Scope and number of features
- Design complexity and number of screens
- Third-party integrations (payments, auth, data)
- Timeline — standard vs. expedited delivery
- Whether you need ongoing support or growth work post-launch
FAQ
Process & Timeline
We re-scope the affected piece and tell you the cost and timeline impact before proceeding — never a surprise on the final invoice.
Async updates by default, plus calls in overlapping hours scheduled around your time zone. Our own team is distributed, so this is how we always work.
Revisions are built into every stage — we'd rather adjust early than have you discover it at delivery.
Pricing & Payment
We're set up for early-stage builds, not enterprise minimums — tell us your scope and we'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit.
Yes, a portion upfront to begin, with the remainder tied to milestones — never 100% before work starts.
Yes — this is the default structure, not an exception.
Tell us the number. We'll either scope a version that fits it or tell you directly if it's not enough for what you're describing — no false promises either way.
Yes, for SEO, marketing, and continued development — scoped separately once you know what post-launch support you need.
