The Process

Step 1 | Meeting

We'll need to discuss the project particulars in order to give a customized quote. We ask the right questions & get to the bottom of what you need. Soon after we'll submit a formal proposal along w/ a customized homepage wireframe which shows overall layout & direction of the project. Once agreed upon a contract & down payment would get us started on the actual development & design. Any required page assets (like content & photos) will also need to be supplied to us.

Step 2 | Homepage

The process all starts with the homepage. We then work together on edits, generally 1-2 rounds of revisions, until completion. Work on the remaining pages doesn't begin until you are happy w/ the overall concept & the homepage is completed & approved.

Step 3 | Production

The remaining pages are subsequently worked on and proofed w/ you. On-going progress you can track & be a part of while your new website is in production on our temporary servers. Additional Production Services We can provide any needed photography or stock imagery needs.
