From first call to launch
One person designs and builds every site, from the first call to the handover, with nothing passed along to someone else.
Shown with a sample project for Teak & Terrazzo, a fictional interior design studio.
Call
A free, short call about the business and what the site needs to do.
From the client: Half an hour, and a sense of what the site should do.
Proposal
The scope and the price, in writing. 50% to start.
From the client: A yes, and the first half of the payment.
Content
Text and photos come in. A checklist makes gathering them easy.
From the client: Text, photos and a logo, within 3 days of starting.
Design
The design is shared for review before anything is built.
From the client: Feedback on the design.
Build
Hand-coded, then tested on phones and computers.
From the client: Nothing but patience: a preview link shows it coming together.
Launch
Live on the client's own domain. Balance on launch, then the source files are handed over.
From the client: The second half of the payment.
