How It Works
A simple website usually takes 1-2 weeks from first conversation to launch. Scope, timeline, and a fixed price are agreed before the build starts, and you see the site on a staging URL before it goes live.
Discovery Call
Day 1–3What do you need?
- A quick call (30 min) to understand your business, goals, and audience.
- You tell me what you need — or what you think you need. I'll fill in the gaps.
- We agree scope, timeline, and a fixed price. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Design & Wireframing
Day 3–7Get it right on paper first
- I create wireframes and a sitemap. You see the layout and flow before a single line of code is written.
- Desktop, tablet, and mobile — designed for all screens from the start.
- You review, I iterate. Usually 1–2 rounds to nail it.
Build & Develop
Day 7–21 (varies by scope)Where the magic happens
- I build your site using Next.js, Tailwind, and TypeScript.
- No page builders, no drag-and-drop — just clean, maintainable code.
- I deploy to a staging URL so you can see progress in real time.
- You get a fully responsive, fast-loading, optimised website.
Launch
Day +1 post-approvalShip it
- Final review and sign-off from you.
- I point your domain, set up hosting, and go live.
- I submit your sitemap to Google and verify analytics are tracking.
- You're live. Celebrate! 🎉
Post-Launch
OngoingI don't disappear
- 30 days of bug-fix support included with every build.
- Optional maintenance: content updates, feature additions, security patches.
- You're never left stranded — a quick message and I'm on it.
The Short Answers
How long does a simple website take to build? A simple site usually takes 1-2 weeks from the first conversation to launch, depending on how quickly content and approvals come back. More complex business sites, shops, and web apps depend on scope.
Do you agree the price before the build starts? Yes. Scope, timeline, and a fixed price are agreed before the build starts, so you know what you are paying for up front.
Will I see the site before it goes live? Yes. Progress is shared on a staging URL so you can review the site before launch and request changes while it is still in build.
What happens after launch? Every build includes 30 days of bug-fix support after launch. Ongoing maintenance or further feature work can be quoted when needed.
