Process

Thirty days. Managed by me, not you.

You have a business to run — your website project shouldn't be a second job. Here's exactly what happens from first call to launch, and why the timeline holds.

Step by step

From hello to live.

One call, one content handoff, a focused month. Every step has a job, and none of them are meetings for the sake of meetings.

Before the clock starts

Discovery & content

It starts with one 60-minute call: your business, your customers, your competition, your goals. You leave with a content checklist; I leave with a page plan and a design direction. Then you gather the raw material:

  • Your words — or add copywriting for $500 and I'll write them from our call
  • Photos and your logo, if you have them — stock fills the gaps
  • The practical bits: domain and hosting access, Google Business login
The 30-day clock starts here — when your content is delivered, not when you sign. This rule protects your timeline and your price. You control when the clock starts; I control that it stops on time.
Weeks one & two

Design & build

The ZenUX system generates a brand direction from your identity — color, type, and spacing decisions made once, applied everywhere. Then I build the full site against it: every page, real content, no placeholder lorem ipsum. By the halfway mark you're looking at your actual website, not a mood board.

Weeks three & four

Review & refine

You review the whole site and send your feedback in one batch. I make the changes, you review again, one more batch. Two rounds, batched on purpose — collected feedback keeps revisions sharp and protects the timeline. Drip-fed changes are how website projects drag into month three.

Launch

Live, tested, yours

The site goes live tested on real devices, mobile-ready, with on-page SEO basics in place and your Google Business profile linked up. You get a walkthrough so you know how everything works — and everything is in your accounts, in your name.

After launch

30 days covered, then your call

For 30 days, fixes and small adjustments are on me. After that, the monthly plans take over if you want them: Website Care ($50–75/mo) keeps the site healthy — updates, backups, one small content change a month. Growth Site clients get 30/60/90-day performance reviews with real numbers, and the Performance Retainer ($150–250/mo) keeps that going monthly.

Why the timeline holds

Fast because of the system,
not in spite of it.

A custom site in a month sounds fast. It is — and the difference is where the time goes.

"Most custom projects spend weeks re-deciding the same things on every page — this heading size, that button color, this spacing. The ZenUX system makes those decisions once, as rules, and every page follows them. The time saved isn't taken from the design. It's taken from the indecision."

Thirty days from content to launch.

The only thing between you and a working website is one conversation and a content checklist.
