01 / The short version

Talk, design, build, launch

Most small business owners we speak to have been quoted thousands of pounds for a website, told it will take three months, and asked to fill in a brief that reads like a tax return. We do it differently. One call, one designer, one monthly fee, and a default 3-page site live in about a week.

There are four phases: a kickoff call, a design preview, a staging build, and launch. After that, the site is on us. Hosting, backups, SSL and any changes you need are all bundled into the monthly plan.

The whole point is that you should be able to ignore the website while we look after it. You run the business, we run the site, and the only time you hear from us is when we have shipped what you asked for.

02 / What happens at each step

Six things you can expect

No mystery, no surprises, no stage where you wonder what we are doing with your money.

01

A short kickoff call

Thirty minutes, no slide deck. We ask about your customers, your offer, what you sell, what you do not, and what your current site is failing to do. By the end we both know whether we are a fit.

02

A clickable design preview

Within roughly a week of kickoff you get a preview link. Real fonts, real colours, real copy in place. You poke at it on your phone, send notes back, and we revise before a single line of production code is written.

03

A staging build you can test

Once the design is signed off, we build the production site on a staging URL. You test forms, send yourself enquiries, check it on the kitchen iPad, and tell us what to change before launch.

04

A clean go-live

We point the domain, set up email forwarding, install SSL, and watch the launch. Most go-lives take an afternoon. If you have a current site, we minimise downtime so customers never hit a dead URL.

05

Your customer portal

After launch you get a portal login. Drop a message, attach a photo, ask for a new page. We pick it up in UK hours, make the change, and ping you when it is live. No CMS to learn.

06

Quiet maintenance forever

Hosting, backups, SSL renewal, security patches, uptime monitoring and speed checks all happen in the background. You only hear from us when we have something useful to say.

Our Approach

Listen & Learn

We’re a small studio, so we get to know your business properly before we sketch a single page. Three steps, no jargon, no “discovery sprint” two months long.

  1. 01

    Listen

    We talk for thirty minutes. About your trade, your customers, the kind of business you actually want.

  2. 02

    Learn

    We study your competitors and the searches your customers run. We find what makes you different and write copy that says it plainly.

  3. 03

    Launch

    We design, build and ship within 1-3 days for Starter plans, a week for Standard. We look after it every month after.
