How it works
Tell us what you need, get a fixed quote, then click through a new preview every week. You see everything before your customers do, and you own all of it.
The journey
The same people take you from your first message to launch and beyond. Here's what happens at each step, and what we need from you.
Step 1: Tell us what you need
Two minutes, or a short callWe start by listening: how your business runs, who your customers are and what has to work on day one.
- What we do
- Read your brief, ask a few questions and flag what can wait until later.
- What you do
- Tell us what's slowing you down, in plain words. No brief or spec needed.
- What you get
- Honest next steps, even if we're not the right fit.
Step 2: Get a fixed quote
Free, no obligationWe turn what you told us into a written quote you can plan around before anything is built.
- What we do
- Write the scope, fix the price and date the plan, with running costs itemised at cost.
- What you do
- Read it, ask questions and say yes when it's right. Catalog picks are optional inspiration.
- What you get
- A written scope, a fixed price and a dated plan.
Step 3: We build, you review weekly
Every week of the buildWe design and build in small releases. Each one goes to a private preview link you use like the real thing.
- What we do
- Design the pages, write the code, connect payments, email and your data, and fix what you flag.
- What you do
- Send your logo, photos and words, click through each preview and leave notes.
- What you get
- A new version to review every week, and no surprises at launch.
Step 4: Launch and look after
Launch day, planned togetherWhen you approve the final preview, we move it live on your domain and keep a close eye on it.
- What we do
- Connect your domain and HTTPS, test forms and payments on the live site, then monitor it.
- What you do
- Give the final yes. After that, keep us on for ongoing help, or don't.
- What you get
- A live site on your own accounts, with a written guide to running it.
Yours from day one
Everything we make for you is yours: no licences to rent, no accounts held hostage and nothing you need our permission to change.
The code
It lives in a GitHub repository you own from day one, not a copy handed over at the end.
The accounts
Hosting, database, payments and email are set up in your name. You pay each provider directly, at cost.
The domain
Registered in your name with a registrar of your choice. We only connect it to the site.
The data
Your customers, bookings and orders sit in your own database, and you can export them at any time.
No lock-in
Leaving is part of the deal. If you ever want to move on, bring the work in-house or hire another developer, everything is handed over. If you'd like us to walk your new team through it, we'll include that in your quote.
Want us to look after it after launch? We'll include options in your quote.
- Code in a GitHub repository you own
- Hosting, database, payments and domain on accounts in your name
- A written guide to running and changing the site
- Passwords and access handed over securely
While we build
You never wait weeks to see progress. You click through the real thing as it grows, and nothing reaches your customers until you approve it. Feedback in plain words is all we need.
A private preview link every week
Each release lands on a private link you can open on any phone or laptop. Nothing to install, nothing technical to learn.
Checked before it reaches you
Every change is saved with a note of what changed, then automatically checked for errors before it appears on your preview.
Live only when you say yes
The live site changes only after you've seen the preview and approved it, and the exact version you approved is what goes live.
Easy to undo
Every version is kept, so if something isn't right after launch we can switch back to the one before.
Questions
Yes. The brief, any call and the written quote are free, and there's no obligation to go ahead.
No. Tell us what's slowing you down in your own words. We'll ask a few questions and turn it into the scope for you.
Only if the scope changes, and only with your OK. If you ask for something new mid-project, we'll price it separately before any work starts.
A deposit to book your start date, then the rest in milestones tied to what's delivered. The quote spells out each payment and when it's due.
You do, from day one. The code sits in a repository you own, and hosting, domain and any other services are on accounts in your name.
Next step
Tell us what you need in two minutes. We'll reply with a written scope, a fixed price and a dated plan. Free, no obligation.
