Discovery call
Free · 30 minutesWe talk about your business, your goals and what the site or app needs to do: pages, features, content, deadline and budget. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.
How I work
A clear process, start to finish.
You always know what’s happening, what’s next and what it costs. Here’s exactly how a project runs.
In short
- 01
We talk
You tell me what you need, in plain words. I help you shape the idea. Free, no pressure.
- 02
I design & build
You follow the progress on a private link and send feedback in the rounds we agree on.
- 03
We launch
We test everything together, on phone and laptop, then your site goes live.
- 04
It’s yours
You get every account and a short guide. Help after launch is there if you want it.
In detail: six steps
From first call to launch day.
Written proposal
1-2 days after the callA fixed price, what’s included, how many revision rounds, the timeline and who owns what. Nothing starts until you approve it. Usually 50% upfront and 50% before launch, when you approve the work we agreed on in the quote.
Your accounts
20-30 minutes, togetherWe’ll set up the accounts your project needs, with everything in your name. I’ll guide you through the process and manage the technical setup with your permission. You won’t need to share passwords or card details.
Design & build
Most of the projectI build on a private preview link you can open on your own phone and laptop. You send feedback, I adjust. Nothing touches your live site until you say it’s ready.
Launch
Launch dayI connect your domain, HTTPS, forms and analytics, then test every page on desktop and mobile, check speed and accessibility basics, and make sure it can be restored if anything goes wrong.
Handover & care
After launchYou get access to everything, a short guide and a list of every service and what it costs, plus a walkthrough video when it’s useful, for example for Evolve’s editing panel. For the first 30 days, up to 2 small content updates are included, and 14 days of fixes for issues with the agreed deliverables. New features and bigger changes are quoted separately; ongoing help is optional, through the Care Plan.

Ownership
You own it. All of it.
Client-owned infrastructure, developer-managed delivery. That’s the whole model.

- 01
Your web address
Your domain is registered in your name, on your account. Never mine.
- 02
Your website files
Your website’s code and files are kept in a dedicated repository, with ownership and access arranged as part of the handover. I typically use GitHub, but the setup depends on your project.
- 03
Your hosting account
Your website runs on a hosting account you control. I usually recommend Cloudflare for smaller websites, but we’ll choose the right solution for your project.
- 04
No hidden costs
Many small websites can run on free hosting plans. If your project needs a paid service, I’ll explain the cost before anything is activated.
- 05
No lock-in
Your accounts are yours, so you can remove my access at any time. Final deliverables and usage rights are handed over as agreed in your quote, once payment is complete. After that, continue with anyone you like. Nothing stays locked to me.
- Don’t worry: I’ll guide you through setting everything up. You won’t need to figure out the technical side yourself.
At handover
What you receive
Optional help after launch: the Care Plan →
Full access
Admin access to your domain, hosting and code, all under your own accounts.
A short guide
Plain-language notes: where things live, how to update content, who to call.
A walkthrough video, when relevant
For sites you update yourself, like Evolve’s editing panel: a few minutes showing the most common changes.
A cost sheet
Every service your site uses, what plan it’s on, and what (if anything) it costs.
