How We Work

From Concept to Live Website

Transparent, structured — no surprises, no hidden extras.

6 steps · 2–4 weeks
The Process

How It Works

Six clearly defined stages. You'll always know where we are and what's coming next.

01
No cost · No commitment
Free Concept Design
We build a working sample website using your actual brand, content, and colours — before you spend a penny. You see exactly what your site will look like, not a generic wireframe. If you love it, we proceed. If not, there's no obligation.
02
Your feedback
Review & Feedback
You review the concept and tell us what you'd like changed — layout, colours, copy, structure, anything. We collect all your amendments in a single round. There's no limit on what you can ask for at this stage; we want to get it right.
03
Final sign-off
Amendments & Approval
We apply every piece of feedback and present the final version for your approval. Nothing moves forward until you're completely happy and have given written sign-off. This is your project — it has to be right.
04
We handle everything
Technical Setup
We take care of all the technical groundwork: domain connection, hosting configuration, SSL certificate, cookie consent banner (UK PECR compliant), privacy policy page, GDPR notices, and UK Companies Act footer requirements. You don't need to touch any of it.
05
Go live
Launch & Handover
Your site goes live. We submit your sitemap directly to Google Search Console, verify ownership, and set up analytics. You receive a full handover document covering how to update content, who hosts your site, renewal dates, and how to reach us for support.
06
Optional · Monthly
Ongoing Support
Stay covered with our optional monthly care plan. Content updates, security patches, framework updates, uptime monitoring, and direct access to us whenever you need changes. No support tickets — you speak directly to the developer.
🔀
Alternative Option

Already have an IT team or hosting provider?

We handle Steps 1–3 above — concept design, your feedback, and final approval — then package and hand over the completed design files and build-ready assets directly to your team. You get the same quality design work; we simply hand the baton to whoever manages your infrastructure.

UK Legal Compliance

Every website we deliver meets current UK legal requirements from day one.

⚖️
UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018
A compliant privacy policy covering how visitor data is collected and used. We draft this for you based on your actual use of tools such as analytics and contact forms.
🍪
PECR — Cookie Consent (UK Rules)
A cookie consent banner that meets UK PECR requirements — granular consent, no pre-ticked boxes, and a clear decline option. Cookies only load after consent is given.
Equality Act 2010 — Accessibility
We apply core WCAG 2.1 accessibility principles: sufficient colour contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text on images, and semantic HTML — built in from the start.
🏢
Companies Act 2006 — Footer Requirements
If your business is a registered company, we include your registered company name, number, and registered address in the website footer as required by law.
Your Part

What We Need From You

We guide you through every step — you don't need to know what a website needs, that's our job.

Your logo — ideally as a PNG or SVG file. Don't have one? We can help.
Photos of your work or team — real photos perform better than stock images. A few quality shots from your phone are fine.
Written content — a short description of what you do, your services, and anything you'd like customers to know. We can shape the copy from rough notes.
Business details — your trading name, registered address, phone, email, and any social media handles.
Domain & hosting access — if you already own a domain, we'll need login credentials for the registrar. If not, we'll advise on the best option.
Brand preferences — any colours, fonts, or websites you like the look of. Even a rough idea helps.
💡

Don't worry if you don't have everything ready — we'll send you a simple brief form after our first conversation that walks you through it all.
