Small Business Web Developer

I follow a structured yet flexible process designed to keep you informed and in control at every stage without placing unnecessary demands on your time.

My process follows this path: Consultation → Planning → Strategy & Scope → Design → Client Feedback → Final Approval → Development → Testing → Launch.

Nothing moves forward without a clear plan, and no design or feature gets built without your sign-off. Every step is focused on delivering a website that works for your business and produces measurable results not just something that looks good on a screen.

Timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of your project. As a general guide:

• A straightforward website typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
• A custom website with advanced features generally runs 6 to 12 weeks.
• Larger, more complex builds can extend to 12 weeks or more.

Once I’ve defined the full scope together, I’ll map out a clear timeline for each phase. If you have a specific launch date in mind, let me know early and I’ll do my best to work around it. What causes the most delays in any project is missing content or slow feedback, staying engaged throughout keeps everything on track.

I respect that your time is limited, so I’ve designed my process to keep your involvement focused and purposeful. I’ll need your input at three key stages: initial strategy and goal-setting, design review and approval, and content sign-off before launch.

Outside of those touchpoints, I handle the details. You won’t be chased for daily decisions or buried in technical back-and-forth. My goal is to keep things moving efficiently while making sure the final product genuinely reflects your vision.

Both options are available. If you have existing copy, brand messaging, or specific content you’d like to use, I’ll work with it and refine it where needed. If you’re starting from scratch or need professional copywriting, I can handle that too.

Providing your own content or at least clear direction on tone, audience, and key messages tends to speed up the process significantly. During onboarding, I’ll cover exactly what’s needed and agree on who handles what before work begins, so there are no surprises mid-project.

Your satisfaction is built into the process, not bolted on at the end. I don’t present a finished design and ask you to approve it, I involve you at key checkpoints throughout, which means the design evolves with your input rather than surprising you.

Each project includes structured rounds of revisions, and nothing moves to development without your explicit approval. If something isn’t right, I want to know early. Clear, honest feedback at the design stage is what leads to outcomes we’re both proud of.

Websites aren’t set-and-forget, and I understand that your business evolves. Post-launch changes whether that’s updating content, adding a new page, or introducing a new feature are handled through my ongoing support and maintenance plans.

If you’re on my care plan, smaller updates are included. For larger additions or new functionality, I’ll scope it properly and provide a clear quote before any work begins. Either way, you’ll always have a direct line to the team that built your site.

Yes. We provide fully managed WordPress hosting that covers everything under one straightforward monthly fee, no juggling multiple invoices or chasing separate providers.

Your site is hosted on a high-performance server optimised for speed, security, and maximum uptime. I monitor proactively, so issues are caught and resolved before they ever affect your business or your visitors. If you prefer to use your own hosting setup, I’m happy to advise on the right plan and manage it on your behalf.
