From first conversation to live website.
Our website design process has six clear stages: a free review, written plan and price, project start, design and build, final review, then launch and handover. You approve the work at agreed points.
Six stages. One clear path.

A human Project Manager coordinates questions, feedback and approvals throughout.
We start with your goals.
Your first conversation and recommendation are free. We look at the business goal, your current website if you have one, and what a useful next step could be.
Review your enquiry and ask the questions needed to recommend a practical direction.
Share what your business does, what is not working, and what you hope the website will achieve.
You see the plan before committing.
The proposal sets out the pages, features, content responsibilities, included reviews, estimated timing, ownership arrangements and price.
Prepare the written scope and explain what is included, what is separate, and how the work will be coordinated.
Review the proposal, ask questions and approve it only when it matches what you need.
The project gets underway.
Once you approve the written scope, the standard 50% advance starts the agreed work. Your human Project Manager coordinates the schedule, questions and feedback.
Organize the work, confirm review points and identify the business content or access needed.
Pay the agreed advance and provide the information listed in the proposal.
You review the work as it takes shape.
We organize the content, design and build the website. You review the visual direction, content and working pages at the agreed points, rather than facing one surprise at the end.
Coordinate design, development and the agreed feedback rounds through your Project Manager.
Provide business details, review milestones and collect feedback from your team in one place.
The finished website gets a final check.
You review the completed agreed work. We resolve agreed items and check the website before it goes live. The remaining 50% is due after completion and before launch and handover.
Complete prelaunch checks and address issues within the agreed scope.
Confirm the finished website is ready for launch and pay the remaining balance.
Your website goes live, with access agreed.
After approval and payment, we complete the launch and hand over the access, files and guidance specified in your proposal. Hosting and ongoing care are separate options.
Coordinate launch, confirm the live website and provide the agreed handover.
Receive the agreed access and choose whether you want ongoing support.
Timing: Your proposal includes the expected schedule. Project size, content and the speed of approvals can change it.
See pricing and payment optionsNo big reveal at the end.
We ask you to review the important decisions as the website takes shape. That keeps changes manageable and helps both sides stay aligned.

Want changes? Included revisions are set out in your proposal. If a request goes beyond the agreed work, we discuss the effect on cost and timing before doing it.
Looking good is only part of ready.
After the visual review, we check how the website works for real visitors. The checks depend on the features in your agreed project.
