Our Web Design Process - 4 Weeks From Start to Launch
A clear, proven process that takes you from idea to live website in just 4 weeks. Weekly updates, no surprises, and transparent communication every step of the way.
How
It
Works
Building your website is broken into four clear phases. Each week has specific deliverables and milestones.
4 Weeks Total: From signed contract to launched website.
Weekly Updates: I'll email you at the start of each week with what's happening and what I need from you.
Clear Deadlines: You'll always know when I need feedback or approvals to keep the project on track.
Your Role: Provide brand assets (logo, photos), review and approve deliverables at key checkpoints, and stay responsive to emails.
Let's walk through each week.

Need More Time to Provide Feedback? Just let me know. As long as you communicate, we can adjust the timeline at no extra charge.
What Happens If You Go Silent?
7 days after deadline: Friendly reminder email (no fee)
14 days after deadline: $75 project reactivation fee required to continue
30 days after deadline: Project considered abandoned, deposit non-refundable
This policy exists to keep projects moving. If you communicate with me, we'll work together to find a timeline that works for you.
Want It Faster? Add rush delivery ($250) for a 2-3 week timeline instead of 4 weeks. Requires immediate responsiveness and content provision within 2 days.
What If
I Need
More
Time?
I understand things get busy. Here's how timeline flexibility works
How We
Communicate
Email Is Primary: All feedback and approvals happen via email to keep everything documented.
Response Time: I respond within 24 hours on weekdays.
Calls When Needed: If something is complex or easier to discuss verbally, we'll hop on a quick Google Meet call.
Weekly Kickoff Emails: At the start of each week, I send an email outlining what's happening and what I need from you.
No Surprises: You'll always know where we are in the process and what's coming next.
What Happens After Launch?
Your website goes live, but I don't disappear.
7 Days Post-Launch Support:
Bug fixes and questions answered at no extra charge for the first week after launch.
Training Video:
10-15 minute Loom video showing you how to make basic updates (text, images, etc.).
Ongoing Updates Available:
Need changes after launch? I offer pay-per-update services ($25-$100 depending on complexity).
SEO Services:
Local citations, backlink building, and additional blog posts available at custom pricing.
You're In Control:
Your site is transferred to your Framer account. You own it and can manage it yourself or hire me for updates.
