How we work

You don't pay until you've seen it.

We build your site first, send you the preview, take your feedback, and only invoice once you tell us it's ready to go live. No deposits, no upfront commitment, no risk on your side.

The seven-day arc

From hello to live in a single working week.

01
Discovery call

A 30-minute conversation, not a brief.

We learn your business, your customers, and your goals. By the end of the call, you know whether we're a fit and what you'd be paying. No follow-up brochures, no contracts in sight.

02
Day 0

Asset checklist + contracts.

Within an hour of saying yes, you get one email with our standard contracts and a clear list of what we need from you — logo, photos, copy, opening hours. Sign and send everything in one round-trip.

03
Day 1–4

We build.

Bespoke design, written from scratch, no templates. While we work, your project sits at a private staging URL on our domain. You don't see it yet — we want your first impression to be the polished version.

04
Day 4

First preview.

You get the staging URL, click around, see it on your phone. Two rounds of revisions are included — send feedback as a single email and we turn each round around within 24 hours.

05
Day 6–7

You approve. We invoice.

Reply "approved" and the invoice fires from Stripe. This is the first and only payment for the build. Pay by card from your phone in under a minute.

06
Day 7

Launch.

We point your domain at the new site, confirm SSL, run a final smoke test, and email you the keys. From that moment, you own the site, the code, and the domain.

07
Beyond

Optional ongoing care.

If you signed up to the care plan, we run a monthly health check, handle minor edits, and stay on call for anything that breaks. If not, you have a self-contained site with no recurring fees.

Pricing

All the numbers. Up front.

One price for the build, two optional tiers for ongoing care. No quotes that arrive in a week, no tiers hidden behind discovery calls. If your project genuinely needs more (e-commerce, member portals, custom integrations), we'll quote that separately on the discovery call — but most independent businesses never do.
