How we work

You’ll never have to ask where your project stands.

Most projects go sideways in the silence between updates. So we’ve put together our entire process and documented it here, so you know exactly what’s happening when. So it’s not a question when you’re going to hear from us next. You can rely on us.

No questionnairesYou won’t be doing the strategic thinking alone at 11pm in somebody else’s Google Form.

No mystery timelinesReal dates on day one. If one moves, you hear it from us before you have to ask.

No disappearing actsYou email a person and get an answer, usually the same day.

Why it works

You know it’s not pulling its weight. Working out why is our job.

Most studios open with a 40-question intake and call it discovery. That’s you doing the strategic work, alone, in somebody else’s Google Form. Narrator: that’s not discovery.

Some people come in knowing exactly what’s broken. Most just know the inquiries stopped and the site doesn’t look like the business anymore. Either way the diagnosis is on us, and so is the fix.

The actual process

Three steps. That’s the whole thing.

Book a free call.

30 minutes. We look at the site you’ve got, who you need to reach, and what would count as this actually working. You don’t prepare a thing.

You get real numbers on that call, not a range wide enough to hide in. If we’re not the right people for it, we’ll say so and give you a name. (Does that actually happen? A few times a year, yes.)

Free, 30 minutes, no pitch
A straight read on the site you have now
Real numbers, out loud, on the call
A name to call instead if we’re wrong for it

We design and build it.

The order never changes: what the site has to do, then how it looks, then how it’s built. Nothing goes to build until you’ve signed off on the design.

If the brand underneath is too thin to hold the site up, we fix that first. Decorating around the problem is how you end up back here in 2 years.

Custom design, never a template
Built to last, and to work on every screen
SEO foundations built in, with deeper SEO work as an add-on
Revisions included, not billed separately

You launch, and we don’t vanish.

30 days of support while you settle in, so fixing a typo doesn’t turn into a project. After that, keep us on a care plan or just call when something comes up.

You own the whole thing outright. No lock-in, no ransom for your own files, no waiting on us to change a phone number.

30 days of support after you go live
Care plan if you want us on hand
You own the files, the domain, all of it

The fine print, in plain English

The parts you’re actually worried about.

Timeline

Real dates, not seasons.

You get dates on day one. If something slips on our end, you hear it from us first, along with exactly what it moves.

Communication

You get a person.

Replies usually the same day. Never a status update that just says circling back, because circling back isn’t an update.

Revisions

Built into the price.

We’re not going to nickel you for changing your mind about a headline. The first version is rarely the right one, and pretending otherwise just makes people sit on feedback.

After launch

30 days, then your call.

Support while you settle in, then keep us around or don’t. Taking it from here is a real option, not a guilt trip.

Where we draw the line

What we won’t do.

Drop your logo into a template everyone else in your field is already running and call it custom.
Build the thing you asked for if we think it’s going to cost you money. We’ll tell you, argue it out, and then do what you decide.
Go quiet once the invoice clears. That’s the week you actually need us.

Almost every project we take comes from someone we’ve worked with before, or someone they sent. You don’t get that by telling people what they want to hear.
