The Process
What it looks like when we work together
Project Discovery
Here's where we define your project. I'll send you a website questionnaire asking about your website's goals, your target audience, and desired website functionality.
We then schedule a call to review your questionnaire and I answer any questions.
Design
I present designs to you as PDF mockups, and you get the chance to give your feedback in a structured revision process.
Once the design is finalized, I move onto developing the website. We collaborate to build a custom website that fits your business’s specific needs.
Build & Launch
I finish building the site and do a final review and technical tests to make sure everything is working.
When this is finished, I will prepare final files and start the handover process, including login credentials and a walkthrough on maintaining your site, including updating any of your site's content.
