The Process

01.
Connect & Chat

Fill out the contact form on my Contact Page. Once you hit the send button, you’ll have the option to book a free 30 min. consult call.

After our call, I’ll send a customized proposal based on your needs & goals. Once you sign the contract and pay a deposit, your project date is reserved!

02. 
Research & Ready

You’ll receive a welcome packet and content guides and worksheets to get you started.

*This step typically takes at least 2-3 weeks, so be sure to give yourself enough time to gather your materials.

03. 
Design & Build

On the Monday of our design period, we’ll have a kick-off call to review goals and process.

I start the website design + build based on your provided material.

*The whole process typically takes just one to two weeks for a complete custom website!

During this time you’ll receive milestones to review and edit, and I’ll continue building, designing, editing, and adding functionality.

04. 
Launch & Beyond

On the last Friday of our project, we’ll have a live video launch, and I’ll provide a tutorial and customized training.

I’ll send you an offboarding kit and a feedback form. You’ll have one week of support post hand-off with me.

If you don’t want to make ongoing updates yourself, I offer exclusive support packages for clients.
