Process

See first, then decide

Getting a website built often feels like a gamble. So I turn it around: you see what your new homepage looks like for free first, and only then do you decide. This is how a project runs from start to finish.

The project in six steps

  1. First meeting

    We discuss your business, your customers, your competitors and what the website should deliver. On location, at my place or by video.

    I doI ask about your goals, customers and current site.
    You doYou tell me about your business and what you want to achieve.
  2. Free homepage design

    I design your homepage in your brand style, focused on your main goal. You see the result before you decide anything.

    I doI create the design and explain my choices.
    You doYou give feedback and decide whether to continue.
  3. Fixed quote

    If you like the design, you get a quote with a fixed price and a schedule. No hours that pile up afterwards.

    I doI prepare the quote and schedule.
    You doYou approve, or not. You're not tied to anything.
  4. Design and build

    I work out all pages and build the site on a staging environment. You're involved at every stage.

    I doI design, build and take care of speed and basic SEO.
    You doYou supply copy and images and give feedback.
  5. Testing and launch

    I test the site on phone, tablet and desktop, set up redirects and tracking, and we go live at a quiet moment.

    I doI test, launch and check everything after launch.
    You doYou do a final check and give the go-ahead.
  6. Aftercare and growth

    After launch I stay available. For hosting, maintenance, changes and further development such as SEO.

    I doI keep the site fast, secure and up to date if you want.
    You doYou let me know what you need.
