You talk to the person building it
No account manager relaying messages to a developer you never meet. The person you have the consultation with is the person writing the code.
How it works
8 steps. Nothing hidden in any of them.
Every step says what I need from you and roughly how long it takes, because the honest constraint on a build is almost never the build.
The steps
Start to launch.
01
Free consultation
A 30-minute call about your business, your customers and what the website actually needs to do. No pitch deck, no pressure.
- You provide
- Half an hour and an honest account of what is not working.
- Typically
- Same or next day
02
Written proposal
A fixed price with the scope written down — what is included, what is not, how many revision rounds, and the timeline.
- You provide
- A decision. The proposal expires so the price stays honest.
- Typically
- Within 24 hours
03
Deposit and onboarding
A 50% deposit starts the work. You get a private link to an onboarding questionnaire built specifically for your industry.
- You provide
- The deposit, and access to any existing accounts or domains.
- Typically
- Day 1
04
Your details, once
The questionnaire asks the things that actually change the build — your services, your service area, your competitors, what you want visitors to do. Save and return from any device.
- You provide
- Your logo, photos, and around 30–45 minutes.
- Typically
- 2–5 days, at your pace
05
Design and build
Built custom from your answers. Mobile-first, fast, and structured so search engines and customers both understand it.
- You provide
- Nothing — this part is on me.
- Typically
- 2–3 weeks
06
Your review
A private preview link. You give feedback in one pass; I make the changes. Your revision rounds are counted and visible to both of us.
- You provide
- Consolidated feedback.
- Typically
- 2–3 days
07
Launch
Domain, SSL, analytics, redirects from the old site, and a walkthrough so you know how to use what you own.
- You provide
- Domain access, if I do not already have it.
- Typically
- 1 day
08
Ongoing care, if you want it
Hosting, updates, backups, monitoring and a monthly edit allowance. Optional, month to month, and never a condition of the build.
- Typically
- Monthly
Why this rather than the alternatives
Against both ends of the market.
Custom, not a template with your logo on it
Website builders start from a theme and ask you to fit your business into it. This starts from what your business needs and builds to that.
The price is on the website
Packages and what they include are published. You know the number before you call, and the proposal price is the price.
Scope is written down before work starts
Every package states what it excludes as well as what it includes. Unclear scope is where website projects go wrong for both sides.
Built to generate enquiries, not to win design awards
Clear calls to action, fast load times, click-to-call on mobile, and forms that actually get filled in. The site has a job.
You own everything
Your domain, your content, your site. No proprietary platform you cannot leave, and no monthly fee required to keep your website online with me.
Step one.
A conversation, then a written proposal with a fixed price and a 21-day timeline you can say no to.
