How I work

Seven stages, no surprises.

Every stage names two things service pages usually hide: what you get, and what I need from you. The second part is what keeps projects from slipping and turning into blame.

  1. 01

    Intro & proposal

    2–4 days · free

    We talk about your business goals, who you want to reach, and a sensible budget. Nothing is billed at this stage — including if we end up not working together.

    What you get

    • A written proposal: scope, number of pages, technology, timeline and a fixed price
    • An honest “not included” list, so there are no misunderstandings halfway through
    • Honest advice if what you need isn't actually a website

    What I need from you

    • A picture of your business and what the site should achieve
    • Examples of sites you like — and ones you don't
    • A budget range, even a rough one
    Next: 02 Agreement & deposit

  2. 02

    Agreement & deposit

    1–2 days

    A proposal is valid for 14 days. If you agree, reply “Agreed” with the proposal number and the 50% deposit is paid. The timeline starts once the deposit is received and the initial materials are complete — whichever comes later.

    What you get

    • An official invoice
    • A written handover date, not a guess
    • Terms of engagement that bind us both

    What I need from you

    • A 50% deposit
    • One person who owns the decisions
    • Copy, images and logo — within 7 days of approving the proposal
    Next: 03 Design

  3. 03

    Design

    1–2 weeks

    I design the look first, before a single line of code is written. It's the cheapest moment to change your mind: moving a layout now takes minutes, after it's coded it takes days.

    What you get

    • The home page design first, to agree on the direction
    • The remaining pages once the direction is right
    • Two revision rounds included in the price — one round for the Landing Page package

    What I need from you

    • Feedback collected in a single list, within 5 working days
    • Decisions from one person — conflicting input from many people is the number one cause of delays
    Next: 04 Development

  4. 04

    Development

    1–4 weeks

    The approved design becomes a real site. A preview link is live from the first week and you can open it anytime — no waiting until the end to see how it's going.

    What you get

    • A live preview link that keeps updating
    • A progress update every week
    • Small fixes handled along the way, not piled up at the end

    What I need from you

    • Final copy, if the design stage used placeholder text
    • Access to any third-party services that need connecting
    Next: 05 Testing & final revisions

  5. 05

    Testing & final revisions

    3–5 days

    I check it on phone, tablet and desktop; test speed, accessibility and SEO readiness. Then it's your turn to review and collect the last revisions.

    What you get

    • Two rounds of final revisions — one round for the Landing Page package
    • A short report: speed, basic SEO and accessibility
    • A list of anything deliberately left out, if any

    What I need from you

    • Time to review properly, not at a glance
    • The remaining 50% before handover
    Next: 06 Launch & handover

  6. 06

    Launch & handover

    1–2 days

    The site goes live on your domain, not mine. Every account — domain, hosting, analytics — is in your name from the start, so ownership never hangs on me.

    What you get

    • The site live on your own domain
    • Google Analytics and Search Console set up
    • Full copyright of the code and assets transferred to you
    • A handover session: how to update the content yourself

    What I need from you

    • Domain and hosting in your name — I'll help with the process
    Next: 07 30-day warranty

  7. 07

    30-day warranty

    after launch

    Bugs in the agreed features are fixed for free for 30 days. After that we can continue with a separate maintenance agreement — or not at all. No binding subscription.

    What you get

    • Free bug fixes for 30 days
    • Replies within one working day
    • No vendor lock-in: the code is yours and any developer can continue it

    What I need from you

    • Let me know as soon as something is off

02 — If it slips

What usually goes unwritten.

Naming it up front is far cheaper than arguing about it once a project is already late — and the last one deliberately puts the burden on me, not you.

Content hasn't been sent
The timeline moves back by the length of the delay. It's the most common cause of slippage — not the coding.
Feedback arrives in drips
One revision round means one list at once. Feedback that trickles in one item at a time doubles the work.
New ideas midway
Absolutely welcome. They just become a written add-on quote, not something slipped in quietly.
I'm the one who's late
If I run more than 14 days past schedule without notice, you may cancel and get a refund proportional to the work not done.
