How we work
Four stages, about seven weeks.
A business site takes 6-8 weeks from the first conversation. You get a fixed number in writing before anything starts, and you see the design as a real page in a browser rather than a picture of one.
- Stage 1
Talk
Half an hour on the phone, or a coffee if you are local. We work out what the site has to do and what it will cost. You get the number in writing before anything starts.
- Stage 2
Draft
Structure and copy first, design second. You see a real page in a browser, not a picture of one.
- Stage 3
Build
We build it, load your content, and test it on the phones your customers actually use.
- Stage 4
Hand over
It goes live and you get the logins and the code. Small changes after that are part of the upkeep plan. Anything larger is quoted before we start it.
What we need from you
Projects almost never run late because of the build. They run late waiting on content. Here is the whole list, and we will ask for it in week one:
- Your logo, at the best quality you have, vector if it exists. If all you have is a small image, tell us in week one: redrawing it is a separate job.
- Photos of your work, premises or team. Phone photos are fine. Stock images are a last resort.
- Whatever words you already have. An old site, a brochure, a Facebook bio, or just a rough idea in a few dot points. It all gives us a head start.
- Your opening hours, address and phone number, exactly as you want them to appear everywhere.
- Access to your domain, if you already own one. If you cannot remember who you bought it from, we will help you find out.
How we handle changes
Two rounds of changes are included in a business site. What is not included is a change of direction. If you decide halfway through that the whole thing should be an online shop, that is a different project and a different number, and we will tell you the day it comes up.
After it launches
The code is yours and you can host it anywhere. Hosting is part of the upkeep plan, so leaving the plan means moving the site somewhere else.
If you want to leave, tell us and we'll hand over the code, the content and the files, and release the domain and hosting to whoever's next. No exit fee, nothing to square up, and we don't hold your DNS, your content or your data hostage.
Tell us what you need.
Half an hour on the phone, or a coffee if you're local. You'll get a straight answer about what it takes and what it costs, whether or not you hire us.
