The Process · Day 1 to Day 4

Four days. Sometimes three. Most refreshes ship in 72 hours · a handful take five days, and we tell you before we start.

Here's exactly what happens between the first email and the moment your new site goes live. No intake calls, no kickoff meetings, no discovery sessions · just a few honest emails and a working site.

A short email.

A few honest sentences sent to [email protected] · or a note through our contact form. We want to know three things: what you do, who it's for, and what's currently broken about how you present it online. That's the entire briefing. No questionnaire, no intake call.

We design.

No mood boards. No Figma files. We build a real, working, clickable website on a staging URL. By the end of the first day, you can see something. By the end of the second, you can use it.

You review.

Send us a voice memo. Send us a numbered list. Call us. However you want to give feedback is fine. We make the changes the same day. Most projects take one round of revisions. A few take zero.

We launch.

We connect your domain. We transfer hosting. We hand over the keys. You pay the invoice · and only then. If you don't love what we built, you don't pay a cent. It's happened exactly zero times.

The fine print.

· Q

What if I don't love it?

Then you don't pay. Zero deposit. Zero risk. We've never had a client walk away · but the guarantee is real.

· Q

Who writes the copy?

We do the first pass. You polish. On Growth and above, we include proper copy assistance.

· Q

Who hosts it?

We launch on Vercel or Netlify by default · both are free for most small sites. You can also host it anywhere you want.

· Q

Can I edit it myself later?

Yes. We build on modern CMS platforms that a non-technical owner can comfortably update. We give you a one-page guide.

· Q

What about my existing domain?

We handle the transfer. You keep the domain. You always own everything.

· Q

Can you work faster than 72hr?

Sometimes. The Rush add-on ($500) guarantees 48-hour delivery on five-page builds, subject to availability.

Ready when you are.
