How It Works
From First Call to Going Live
A clear, no-surprises process. You'll see a real preview of your website before you ever pay a cent — because you should know exactly what you're getting.
Free Consultation
30 minutes, by phone or in personWe start with a conversation — no forms, no automated questionnaires. You tell me about your business: what you do, who your customers are, what you want your website to accomplish, and what's been holding you back from having one.
What You Get at This Stage
- A clear recommendation for what kind of site fits your business
- Honest pricing — no bait-and-switch, no hidden fees
- Answers to any questions about the process, timeline, or what to expect
- Zero pressure — this is a conversation, not a sales pitch
Mockup First
2–3 days after consultationThis is what sets us apart. Before you pay anything, I research your business, your competitors, and your customers — then build a real, clickable preview of your website. Not a wireframe. Not a sketch. A real mockup you can open on your phone or laptop.
What You Get at This Stage
- A fully designed mockup of your homepage on desktop and mobile
- Real copywriting — actual words for your business, not placeholder text
- Color palette and typography customized to your brand
- The opportunity to say 'I love it' or 'let's adjust this' before any commitment
Refine & Polish
3–5 days, depending on scopeOnce you've seen the mockup and decided to move forward, we go into refinement. You give feedback — what works, what you'd like adjusted, any content that needs to change. I revise based on your input. We go back and forth until every detail is right.
What You Get at This Stage
- Unlimited revisions within the agreed scope of the project
- All pages built out with your real content, photos, and details
- Mobile, tablet, and desktop versions all polished and tested
- Final review together — we don't launch until you're completely happy
Go Live
1–2 daysThe finish line. Your site is polished, approved, and ready for the world. I handle the technical side — domain setup, hosting configuration, SSL certificate, Google indexing — so your site is live, secure, and findable. You focus on running your business.
What You Get at This Stage
- Domain setup or transfer handled — yoursite.com, live on the internet
- SSL certificate so your site loads with the padlock (https)
- Google indexing submitted so your site shows up in search results
- Quick training session on anything you want to manage yourself

Common Questions
You Probably Have Questions
What if I don't like the mockup?+
Then you walk away — no charge, no hard feelings. The mockup stage is completely free and no-commitment. You only pay if you decide to move forward.
How much does a website cost?+
Our pricing is transparent and flat-rate — see our Pricing page for full details. Projects typically range based on complexity. No hourly billing, no surprise fees.
How long does the whole process take?+
Most projects go from consultation to launch in 1–2 weeks. More complex sites may take slightly longer, but we'll give you a clear timeline upfront during the consultation.
Do I need to provide photos and content?+
I'll work with whatever you have. If you have great photos — perfect. If not, I can help source photography and write the initial copy based on our consultation. You'll review and approve everything.
Will my website work on phones?+
Absolutely. Every site we build is designed mobile-first — because that's how most customers search for local businesses. Your site will look and work great on every device.
What happens after the site launches?+
You own the site, and it's yours — no locked-in subscriptions or builder fees. If you need updates later, we offer ongoing support on a pay-per-update basis. Or I can show you how to make simple changes yourself.
