The process

How a website project comes together

    Launch and handoff

    We launch, confirm everything works and hand over access, notes and next steps.

Questions

Website questions

Do I need to have my content ready?

It helps, but you don’t need everything finished. We’ll agree in the proposal who prepares the text and photos, and we can help organize what you have.

Can you add online booking or a store?

Booking links, third-party reservation tools, simple ecommerce and payments are assessed project by project. They aren’t assumed in a standard informational website, so ask and we’ll scope it.

Will my website get me to the top of Google?

No one can honestly promise rankings. What we can do is build the foundations: clear content about your services and area, a fast mobile-friendly site and proper setup so search engines can find it. Ongoing SEO or marketing would be scoped separately.

I already have a website. Can you just fix a few things?

Often, yes, depending on how and where it’s built. Send the address with your inquiry and we’ll take a look.

Let’s talk about your website
