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 with you. If we agree, we will schedule your new website project. One week before the start date for your project, you must provide us with your photos and a payment for the first month of website support.
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

We encourage you to check Basecamp daily for any tasks or updates requiring your attention.
Our design process focuses on creating a visual representation of your website, including:

The launch process is carefully orchestrated:
