We begin with a thorough onboarding process. After you contact us, we’ll send you our comprehensive Onboarding Form. Once we review your completed form and determine we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule an initial meeting. Following this, we’ll prepare and send you a detailed proposal. Your project officially begins once you approve the proposal and submit the initial down payment.

We use Basecamp, a robust project management tool, to facilitate seamless communication and collaboration. Here, we’ll:

Ask in-depth questions about your business processes
Learn about your target audience(s) and industry
Deploy wireframes for your review
Refine our plans based on your feedback

We encourage you to check Basecamp regularly for any tasks or updates requiring your attention.

Our design process focuses on creating a visual representation of your website, including:

Color schemes
Font selections
Layout of major pages
Navigation structure
Incorporation of all services/products defined during discovery

We’ll present this design for your review and make refinements based on your input. Once you approve the final design, we’ll invoice you for the second payment. Development begins upon receipt of this payment.

During development, we task you with an important role: providing high-quality visual content. This typically involves:

Hiring a professional photographer
Supplying specific photos we need throughout the site, such as:
Team photos (group and individual)
Service/product images
Photos of you interacting with customers

We’ll provide a detailed list of required photos to ensure we have all the visual elements needed to bring your website to life.

We take a proactive approach to content creation:

We provide initial content for each page of the new site
You review and critique the content, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and relevance
We refine the content based on your input
Final content approval is obtained from you before proceeding

Our rigorous testing phase includes:

Ensuring responsiveness across mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts
Testing any third-party integrations
Verifying all forms are functional and submissions are properly delivered
Performance testing to ensure fast loading times

The launch process is carefully orchestrated:

Upon your approval of the completed site, we send the final invoice
Once payment is received, we schedule the launch, typically for a Saturday
We use the launch weekend to address any unforeseen issues
We manage the transition from your old website, ensuring proper URL redirects

Our Monthly Website Support begins immediately after launch:

Invoiced on the first of each month for the upcoming month
We begin optimizing each page for identified keywords
We follow a comprehensive monthly checklist to maintain your site’s health and performance

This ongoing support ensures your website remains current, secure, and optimized for search engines long after the initial launch.
