Understand the business
I start with what customers need to know, what already works, which tools the business uses and what would make the project worthwhile.
The process
Enough structure to stay clear. Enough flexibility to fit the business.
The project moves through three focused stages, with clear scope, visible decisions and agreed payment points throughout.
Shape the direction
For selected businesses, I create a tailored private concept that makes the proposed direction tangible before a full commitment is made.
Build, refine and launch
Once the scope and deposit are agreed, the website is built responsively, reviewed in two focused rounds, tested and prepared for launch.
Before commitment
A private concept makes the direction easier to assess.
For selected independent businesses, I create a tailored private concept so you can see the direction before committing.
The initial direction should show enough thinking to discuss visual fit, hierarchy and customer journey. Production work begins after the scope, deposit, responsibilities and planned launch route are agreed.
Focused scope
The standard website package covers up to five pages or equivalent sections and two reasonable revision rounds. Additions are discussed before they become extra work.
Useful content
Existing business facts are organised, missing information is identified and photography is planned as an integral part of the pages.
Checked launch
The site is reviewed across common screen sizes, checked for accessibility and technical basics, and released through the protected production workflow.
Typical project stages
- Initial enquiry and suitability review.
- Discovery conversation and factual content collection.
- Written scope, exclusions, responsibilities and payment schedule.
- Private direction or concept where selected and appropriate.
- Deposit and production build.
- Two focused review rounds.
- Content, accessibility, responsive and technical checks.
- Final payment, launch, care-plan setup and documented handover arrangements.
