Process
Connect — Reach out (via contact form, email, or phone) with your business information and goals for your website or project. Our contact form can help guide the way.
Discover — We will look over your inquiry and promptly follow up. For new clients, we offer free consultations; this can be done over the phone or in person if available. We’ll discuss your project, then provide a custom proposal.
Development — As the project unfolds, we’ll complete the content development process together before working through a live design mock-up. Email and project management tools keep us organized and on track.
Launch — Once the project goes global, we’ll transfer necessary ownership and keep contributor access to your site/platforms for future assistance as needed.
Timelines
Website Design — Our timelines vary depending on the scope of the project. For ecommerce and larger portfolio websites, clients can expect around a month to complete, maybe more, depending on the number of portfolio items and store products. For smaller web projects, we aim to complete projects in around two weeks. When we provide a bid, we always include a completion date for the project.
Monthly Maintenance — It’s not unusual for us to fulfill requests the same day (or even within the same hour). We also have lives outside of the computer, so if we’re out enjoying nature, we’ll be sure to get projects as soon as possible. Either way, we keep our clients happy.
