Process / How it works

From
“we need
a website”
to live.

Seven steps, one person, no project-management theatre. You'll always know what's happening and what I need from you next.

No account managers, no handovers, no waiting for a team meeting. Working directly with one designer is what keeps this lean, direct and fast.

  1. 01

    First chat

    We talk about your business, customers and what you need.

  2. 02

    Content

    You send me the information I need about the business.

  3. 03

    Structure

    I work out how the site should be organised.

  4. 04

    Copy

    I write the website messaging.

  5. 05

    Design + build

    I create the website.

  6. 06

    Review

    You review everything and send the agreed changes.

  7. 07

    Domain + launch

    I connect your domain, test the website and launch it.

Timing

Straightforward
projects are
usually ready
in around 7 days.

That clock starts once I have everything I need from you — the business information, any photos or logos, and your domain details if you already have one.

Bigger sites take longer. I’ll tell you the honest timeline before we start.

What comes out the other end

Your domain

Already have
a domain?

I can connect it. Don’t have one? I can help you work out what you need.

Your domain stays yours. Exact website ownership and hosting arrangements are explained clearly before any work begins, so there are no surprises later.

Process questions

Things people
usually ask.

A conversation about the business, the services you want to sell, how you want customers to contact you, and any material you already have — logo, photos, existing text. If something is missing I'll tell you what would help.

Straightforward projects are typically ready in around 7 days once I have everything I need. Larger sites are quoted with their own timeline.

One agreed revision round is included on straightforward projects. Further changes can be handled as additional work, agreed with you first.

Yes. Calendly and similar booking tools can be linked or embedded so customers can book directly from the website.

The site is yours and live. If you want updates later — new services, new pages, new photos — get in touch and we'll agree the small piece of work. There's no monthly retainer.

Start

Step one is
just a chat.

No sales team. You'll be talking to me.
