From first chat
to live site
in five days.
Here is exactly how it goes from a curious email to a finished site you control. No surprises, no creep, no gradual feature scope expansion. Five days, four steps, real working software at the end.

01
Fifteen-minute chat
We talk about your business, what you need, who your customers are, what you like and dislike about other websites. No commitment, no sales pressure. If we are not the right fit, I will tell you and refer you to someone who is.
What I will ask What does your business actually do day to day? Who is your typical customer? What do you want them to do once they land on your site (call, book, buy, just find your hours)? Show me three websites you think look good, and three you think look bad.Day 0 / 15 minutes / video or phone -
02
Free demo, no commitment
I build you a real working site at a temporary URL based on what we discussed. You see exactly what you would get before paying anything. If you do not love it, walk away with no obligation. This is the part that makes the rest easy.
What you get to see A live link, viewable on your phone and your laptop. Real typography, real colours, real layout. Placeholder copy where I do not have your details yet. You can tell within 60 seconds whether it is the right direction.Days 1 to 3 / I build, you wait -
03
Approve and deploy
You give the green light, sign the one-page agreement, pay the 50% deposit. I revise based on your feedback (typically two rounds), register your domain, and deploy to your live address. We do a 30-minute handover walkthrough so you know how everything works.
What gets deployed The site goes live on Cloudflare Pages with free SSL. Your domain is configured to point at it. Email forwarding is set up if you want it. Google Business Profile is set up. Schema.org markup is in place for search engines. Form is wired up to your inbox.Days 4 to 5 / live and handed over -
04
Forever maintenance
Your monthly fee covers hosting, SSL, monthly health checks, and content updates within your tier's allowance. New hours? New photo? New menu item? Email me. I respond within one business day. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice and walk away with your files.
What you can ask for Hours and contact updates, new photos, swapping out images, fixing typos, adding new staff to a team page, updating prices on a menu, adding a seasonal banner. Bigger work like a new feature or a new section, I quote separately and transparently.Ongoing / I keep it running
