While other companies rely on 'discovery sessions,' we take each client through what we call a 'blueprint session.' Our clients often ask why they need such an in-depth blueprint phase before their project. Here's why a blueprint session will save your sanity and improve your project outcome.

2. BLUEPRINT SESSIONS
While other companies rely on ‘discovery sessions,’
we take each client through what we call a
‘blueprint session.’ Our clients often ask why they
need such an in‐depth blueprint phase before their
project. Here’s why a blueprint session will save
your sanity and improve your project outcome.

3. WHAT IS A 'DISCOVERY
SESSION'?
While VND offers blueprint sessions, other
companies typically offer a discovery session.
A discovery session is a meeting between the
developer and the client. During this meeting, the
developers interview the client to outline their
expectations and needs for the product. Essentially,
the discovery session details what the product will
do and ensures that everyone is on board.

4. WHAT IS A DISCOVERY
SESSION?
Sounds nice, right?
The big sticking point about discovery sessions is
that you typically get one—and if you want more,
you’re paying for each session. You end up paying a
premium for clarifying project details and getting
everyone on board. So, while discovery sessions
can be helpful, they don’t focus on the big picture.

5. THE BLUEPRINT SESSION
VND’s blueprint session is similar to a discovery
session. Our developers and account reps sit
down with the client to go over everyone’s
expectations, project timeline, and product
features. But that’s where the similarities to a
discovery session stop.

6. THE BLUEPRINT SESSION
Blueprint sessions aren’t a one‐and‐done deal.
We meet with the client over the course of
several weeks. It’s a process that involves nearly
every department at our company to ensure that
the project is looked at from every angle.
This way, the client sees exactly what he or she
is getting and there aren’t any surprises.

7. WHY A BLUEPRINT
SESSION?
You might think, “Why do I need this? I already
know what I want; it’s simple!” Even if you have a
“simple” project, a blueprint session makes sure
that everything is simple to your development
team.

8. 1. THEY SAVE MONEY
No one likes spending more money. A blueprint
session lets us know what you need so we can give
you the best deal. If, during the app development or
website development process, you realize we aren’t
following your vision, that can incur extra costs.

9. 2. THEY SAVE TIME
Blueprint sessions are great not only for the client,
but for our team as well. Going back and changing
features hurts the client’s deadline and our
development team’s productivity. If the process
and project details are outlined from the start,
everything falls into place and there’s no need for
time‐consuming major edits.

10. 3. THEY FOSTER
COMMUNICATION
The number‐one customer service issue in the web
and app development industry is the lack of
communication. Miscommunication and confusion
mean bigger expenses and a later launch date—and
nobody wants that.

11. VND CAN HELP
VND’s blueprint sessions are a step above discovery
sessions. We create a two‐way street for communication in
an ongoing process before the project starts. We’re
challenging the industry standard by providing better, more
accurate information from the start—because that’s what
we do.
