06 — Process

From brief to found.

Building a website shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. Our process has four clear steps, you see and approve the design before anything is built, and the price and timeline are agreed at the start.

  1. Brief & plan

    Every project starts with a conversation. We learn what your business does, who your customers are, what makes you different and what you want visitors to do: call you, book, visit or send an enquiry.

    From there we suggest which pages you need and what goes on each one, based on what your customers search for. We agree the pages, the timeline and the price before any work starts, so there are no surprises later.

    You get Page plan, timeline & price

    We'll need A short description of your business, any photos or logo you already have, and a few websites you like the look of.

  2. Design

    We design your pages around your brand, starting with how they look on a phone. You then get a clickable preview that works like a real website, so you can tap through it and see exactly how it will feel.

    You tell us what you'd change, and we refine it together until you're happy. Changing a design at this stage is quick and easy, which is exactly why we do it before any code is written.

    You get A clickable design preview

    We'll need Your honest feedback on the preview. What feels right, what doesn't, and anything we've missed.

  3. Build & optimise

    Once the design is approved, we build the real website. We add your content, optimise every image and write the page titles, descriptions and structured data that help Google understand your business.

    Then we test it on phones, tablets and desktops, check how fast it loads and fix anything that slows it down. By the end of this stage the site is complete and ready to go live.

    You get A fast, SEO-ready site

    We'll need Final text and photos, if you're providing your own. We can write the copy for you if you'd prefer.

  4. Launch & get found

    We put your website live on your domain, set up SSL and connect it to Google: Search Console, your Google Business Profile and analytics. That way search engines find it quickly and you can see how people discover you.

    Finally, we show you how to update your own text and images with an easy editor. If you'd rather hand that over too, we can take care of hosting, backups and changes for you.

    You get Live, found on Google, handed over

    We'll need A few minutes to learn the editor, and to tell your customers about your new website.

Questions

Timelines, prices and what happens next.

01

How long does a website take?

It depends on how many pages you need and how quickly content and feedback come together. We agree a timeline with you in the brief, before any work starts, so you know when to expect each step.

02

How much does a website cost?

The price depends on the pages and features your business needs. After the brief you get a clear quote for the whole project, agreed before we start.

03

What if I don't like the design?

That's what the preview stage is for. You see and click through the design before anything is built, and we refine it together until it feels right.

04

What happens after launch?

The site is yours. You can update it yourself, or we can look after hosting, backups and edits for you. Either way, it's connected to Google from day one.
