The process
How it works
A clear process, so you always know what happens next. Most sites go live in about a month, counted from your first payment.
Start
Before we start
A free intro call. You tell me about your business; I walk you through the process and answer every question. No pressure.
Agreement and first payment. You sign a simple agreement and pay the first $1,000. The month starts when that payment clears.
A business details form. I send it to you at the same time, so I can get to know your business.
Week 1
Week 1: design and setup
The design call. I show you a range of design ideas and we talk about what fits your business and your customers. I take notes; nothing is built on the call.
Your domain and hosting, in your name. A 5-minute screen-share where we set up your free Cloudflare account and buy your domain. They’re yours from day one.
Week 2
Week 2: your details and a first preview
You send your details. There’s a 14-day window for this, counted from your first payment, which keeps projects on schedule.
A private preview link. By the end of the week: an early version of your site with your real info, to try on your phone.
Second payment. $1,000.
Week 3
Week 3: the main build
Everything comes together. This is when most of the design and writing comes together. You send changes, and they appear on your preview link.
Week 4
Week 4: final checks and launch
Testing. I test everything against my launch checklist: phones, speed, links, forms, search basics.
Final approval and payment. You give final approval. Final payment: $1,000.
Launch. As soon as it clears, your site goes live on your own domain.
After launch
After launch
30 days of free bug fixes, starting the day your site goes live.
Changes after that are $100 an hour, billed in half-hour steps. No monthly fee.
You own it. Your domain and hosting are in your name. I keep a safe copy of the code, and you can ask for it any time.
Your part
Tell me about your business
I’ll send you a form to get to know more about your business. The more I know, the more I have to work off of when building your site.
