Built first
Then you decide

Built first. You see it finished, then you decide.

Index / 004

The usual order is pitch, then contract, then design. Mine is design first. Your part is a short call and a few answers.

The five steps / 002

Most of the work happens before you hear from me. Your part is a short call and a few answers.

  1. 001

    I look at your current site

    I find local businesses whose websites have fallen behind, or you send me yours. I note what works, what's missing, and what your customers need to find first: usually the phone number, the services, the reviews and the hours.

  2. 002

    I build the new one

    Your services, photos, reviews and hours, rebuilt in a design made for your kind of business. Phone-first, fast, and accessible. I start from one of my templates and make it yours.

  3. 003

    You see it finished

    I send it to you as a working site you can open on your phone and click through. Your current site is shown exactly as it is, beside it, so the comparison is fair.

  4. 004

    You say yes

    A short call, a short agreement, half the price to start, and an invitation to your site's editor or hosting. I never ask for a password by email.

  5. 005

    Live within a week

    I add your final content, you get two rounds of changes, and the balance is due at your written approval. Then it launches on your own domain and hosting, with old links redirected so nothing breaks.

The week / 003

The week, day by day.

The clock starts when the agreement is signed, the first half is paid and I have access to your site. Late feedback moves launch day for day.

  1. Day 0

    Onboarding

    An email with five quick questions and how to invite me to your site. About ten minutes of your time.

  2. Day 1–2

    Build with your content

    Your answers, any new photos and your final wording go in.

  3. Day 2–3

    Round 1

    You look it over and send one list of changes.

  4. Day 4–5

    Round 2 and approval

    Your changes, then your written okay and the balance.

  5. Day 5–7

    Launch and checks

    Live on your domain and hosting, links redirected, forms and calls tested on real phones.
