How We Work

From first call to fully managed, in six phases

You approve every step before we take the next one. No black boxes, no surprise invoices — just a clear path from idea to a website that stays healthy.

Phase 1 · Week 1

Discovery & Proposal

We start with a free assessment of your current site (or idea): goals, competitors, must-have features, and budget. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a timeline — no hourly billing surprises.

  • Free website assessment
  • Competitor & goals review
  • Fixed scope, timeline, and price
Done when: You approve a fixed proposal.
Phase 2 · Weeks 1–2

Design Mockup

We design a full mockup of your new site — layout, colors, typography, and key pages. You see everything before a single line of code is written, and we revise until you approve it.

  • Hi-fi mockups of all key pages
  • Your branding, content, and feedback baked in
  • Unlimited revisions on the initial mockup
Done when: You approve the mockup.
Phase 3 · Weeks 2–6

Build on Staging

We build the approved design on a private staging site: responsive pages, CMS integration, forms, and any custom programming. You can watch progress live and request changes as we go.

  • Private staging URL from day one
  • Responsive + CMS-integrated build
  • Content loaded and formatted
Done when: The staging site is complete and approved.
Phase 4 · Final week

Testing & SEO

Every link, form, and page is tested across browsers and devices. We configure titles, meta tags, sitemaps, and structured data — and for redesigns, we preserve your URL structure so rankings survive the move.

  • Cross-browser & mobile testing
  • Speed pass (Lighthouse 95+ target)
  • SEO setup + ranking preservation
Done when: The QA checklist is green and you approve the launch.
Phase 5 · Launch day

Zero-Downtime Launch

We cut over to the new site without downtime: DNS, SSL, monitoring, and backups switched on and verified. You get a walkthrough of everything that changed.

  • DNS + SSL cutover handled for you
  • Monitoring and backups live from minute one
  • Launch walkthrough call
Done when: The site is live, verified, and handed over.
Phase 6 · Every month

Ongoing Management

A website without a manager decays. Under a management plan we handle updates, security, backups, content changes, and monthly reporting — so the site keeps improving instead of rotting.

  • Updates, security, backups, monitoring
  • Content changes included
  • Monthly report in plain language
Done when: Never — it repeats every month under your plan.
