How I build your website — no surprises

We start with a discovery call — no cost, no commitment. I want to understand your business, your audience, the feeling you want your site to give off, and anything you love or hate about websites you've seen. This shapes everything that follows.

From that conversation I put together a brand direction document covering your color palette, typography choices, tone of voice, and visual style. You review it, push back, tweak it — we agree on a direction before a single pixel gets designed.

I use Canva to prototype your logo, brand assets, and any graphics we'll need — social media images, banners, icons. You get shareable links to review everything and leave comments directly.

The full page layouts are designed in Figma. I'll build out desktop and mobile mockups of every page so you can see exactly how things will look before I touch WordPress. Spacing, sections, imagery, buttons — all visible and reviewable at this stage.

We do revision rounds here, not after it's built. That keeps things fast and keeps your costs predictable.

Your domain name is yours and you buy it yourself — through Namecheap, GoDaddy, Google Domains, or wherever you prefer. I'll never hold your domain on your behalf. That's your asset.

For hosting you have two options:

Once the designs are signed off, I build the site in WordPress using Elementor — a visual page builder that makes it easy for you to edit your own content after launch without breaking anything.

I match the Figma designs as closely as possible: the same fonts, the same spacing, the same layout on both desktop and mobile. Each page gets built out, linked up, and tested across screen sizes before you see it.

You'll get access to a staging version of the site to review everything live before it's published. This is your chance to request final tweaks.

Every site I build includes a foundational SEO setup. This isn't a promise of page-one rankings — that takes time and content — but it makes sure Google can actually crawl, read, and index your site correctly from day one.

Here's what's included:

Once you've signed off on the staging site, I flip it live. I handle the DNS switch, SSL certificate confirmation, and a final check to make sure nothing broke in the transition.

After launch you get a short walkthrough — either a screen-recorded video or a live call — showing you how to log in, edit your content in Elementor, and where to find anything you might need.

WordPress is a living platform. Themes, plugins, and WordPress itself release updates regularly, and a site that isn't maintained can become slow, vulnerable, or broken. Here's how that looks depending on what you want:
