Discovery
Typical timing: About one week
What you get: A written scope, the page list, and a fixed quote before design starts. You see what is in the project and what is not.
What we need from you: The business goal, access to the current site if one exists, and one person who can approve the scope.
Design
Typical timing: One to two weeks
What you get: Page structure and a mobile layout you can click through on staging. You approve the direction before we build it.
What we need from you: Brand notes, photos or permission to use the ones you have, and feedback within a few business days.
Build
Typical timing: Two to four weeks
What you get: A custom React/Vite site on a private staging URL, with forms, on-page SEO, and the pages in the scope.
What we need from you: Final copy decisions, logins for any booking or payment tool in scope, and notes from the staging review.
Launch
Typical timing: A few days once you sign off
What you get: The live site, with the domain, hosting, and analytics in your accounts, plus redirects from the old URLs we agreed to keep.
What we need from you: DNS access, a content sign-off, and a launch window that works for your team.
Grow
Typical timing: Starts at handoff
What you get: A support window so the first edits are covered, a short handoff on how to request changes, and an optional SEO plan quoted separately.
What we need from you: The name of who owns updates after launch, and Search Console access if you want ongoing search work.
