Our Process

A clear six-step process from discovery to launch and beyond. No surprises, no scope creep, no mystery.

Every website we ship goes through the same six stages. The timeline flexes with project size — a simple five-page site runs about four weeks, a larger build might take ten. The structure stays constant.

1

Discovery

We start with a free 30-minute discovery call. We ask about your business, buyers, current site, goals, and budget. By the end of the call, we both know whether we're a fit. If we are, we send a written proposal within 48 hours.

2

Strategy & Content

Before any design, we lock in sitemap, page purpose, calls-to-action, and content outlines. If content isn't ready, we help develop it. Nothing moves to design until the words are solid — otherwise the layout fights the message.

3

Design

Moodboard first, then wireframes, then full mockups in Figma. You get real-time comment access and two rounds of revisions. We present mobile and desktop in parallel so there are no surprises on launch.

4

Development

With design approved, we build. You get a password-protected staging link from day one and watch the site come together in real time. Weekly check-ins keep you informed without flooding your inbox.

5

QA & Launch

Cross-browser testing, Core Web Vitals validation, accessibility audit, form testing, 301 redirect mapping from any old URLs, SEO migration checks. Launch day is scheduled in advance — we handle DNS and go-live, you keep working.

6

Post-Launch Support

Thirty days of free support after launch. Beyond that, most clients move onto a maintenance plan for ongoing updates, hosting, and small changes. The relationship doesn't end at launch — most of our client relationships are measured in years.

What we expect from you

A successful project needs a committed client as much as a committed studio. Here's what helps the process run smoothly:

  • One decision-maker. Design-by-committee kills momentum. We work best with a single primary contact who can approve designs and sign off on content.
  • Timely feedback. We ask for revisions within five business days. Delays on your side extend the launch date on ours.
  • Honest input. Tell us what's wrong, what's missing, what feels off. Vague feedback leads to vague design. Specifics help us help you.
  • Realistic expectations. SEO rankings don't happen in a week. Conversion gains show up over months. A good site is the start of the work, not the end.
