Process

Three steps, no mystery

You will know what happens next at every stage, what we need from you, and what it costs — before anybody writes a line of code.

The three steps

  1. 01

    We talk

    Day one

    A real conversation about the business — what you sell, who buys it, what the last website got wrong, and what a good year would actually look like. Then you get a plan and a fixed price, in writing, before anybody starts building. No pitch deck, and no charge.

    • What you do and who for
    • Where leads come from today
    • What your competitors are doing
    • A fixed quote, in writing
  2. 02

    We build

    From three days

    Hand-built, fast and accessible, with the SEO, schema, analytics and tracking going in as part of the build rather than bolted on afterwards. You see it as it comes together and we change what needs changing. Then we handle migration, redirects and Search Console, and it goes live.

    • Hand-coded, no page-builder bloat
    • Technical SEO & structured data
    • You review, we revise
    • Redirects, migration, launch
  3. 03

    We keep going

    Ongoing

    A website is not finished at launch, it is just open. Your first year of hosting is included, along with four hours of edits across that year. After that it is $100 a year covering both — or take it somewhere else and we will help you move it.

    • First year of hosting included
    • 4 hours of site edits per year
    • $100/year after that, edits included
    • Leaving? We will help you move
Your part

What we need
from you

Honestly, not much — and the single biggest factor in how fast a project finishes is how quickly this arrives. Projects do not usually stall on design. They stall waiting for photographs.

  • A conversation

    Forty-five minutes about the business. We will ask most of the questions.

  • Your logo & brand bits

    Whatever exists. If nothing does, we can sort that out too.

  • Photographs

    Of your actual work, premises and people. Real beats stock every time, even when it is less polished.

  • Service details

    What you do, what you charge, where you go. Bullet points are fine.

  • Access

    Domain registrar, existing site, Google Business Profile — where they exist.

  • Feedback, reasonably promptly

    One round of proper notes beats five rounds of drip-fed ones.

Our promise

What holds true throughout

  • 01

    Upfront pricing

    Our prices are on the pricing page. Most agencies hide behind contact forms and vague quotes because the number changes depending on how much they think you can pay. Ours does not.

  • 02

    US-based team

    100% of our team is in the United States. Clear communication, real accountability, and someone who understands your market answering the phone.

  • 03

    Brand-centric

    Every site is designed to elevate the brand it belongs to — its actual character, captured properly, rather than a theme with your logo dropped into the corner.

  • 04

    Never held hostage

    Your domain is in your name and your content is yours. If you ever want to host the site somewhere else, you can — and we will help you move it rather than making it awkward.

  • 05

    Built to be found

    SEO is part of the build, not an upsell six months later. A beautiful site nobody can find is an expensive piece of art.

  • 06

    Long-term, not a money-grab

    We are here to build a relationship, not to take a check and disappear. When you make money you keep working with us. It is not complicated.

that actually works.
