Step by step

From brief to launched.

Every project follows the same clear path. You'll always know where we are and what comes next.

1

You fill in the brief

Start by completing the Start a Project form. It covers everything I need — your business, the look you're after, what pages you need, and whether you have content ready. No call required to get going; the form is designed to give me a complete picture.

If you'd rather see what's possible first, the free mockup option is on the same page. I'll create a homepage design concept based on a light brief — no commitment needed.

⏱ Takes about 5 minutes
2

I review & confirm

Within one business day I'll review your brief, confirm the scope, and send you a formal project summary with the agreed price and delivery date. Once you're happy, you pay the 50% deposit and we're off.

If anything is unclear, I'll ask at this stage — not halfway through the build.

⏱ Within 1 business day
3

Homepage design first

Before I write a single line of code, I'll share the homepage design with you for approval. This is your chance to see the direction, suggest changes, and make sure we're aligned before the rest of the site is built.

Most clients approve at this stage with minor tweaks. Larger direction changes are much cheaper to make here than after the full build.

⏱ Shared within 24–48 hours of deposit
4

Full build

With the design approved, I build the complete site — all pages, mobile-responsive, fast-loading, with every feature from your package included. I work from your content and direction, applying design consistency across every page.

You don't have to check in daily. I'll surface the site when it's ready for your review.

⏱ 24 hours to 3 days depending on package
5

Your review & revisions

I share a preview link of the complete site for your feedback. You review it, note any changes, and I work through them. All packages include a round of revisions — so take your time and be specific.

I'll keep iterating until you're genuinely happy with the result. My reputation depends on you being proud of what we built together.

⏱ Revisions typically resolved within 24 hours

What counts as a revision? Copy changes, colour adjustments, layout tweaks, image swaps, section reordering — all included. Additions of whole new pages or major scope changes are quoted separately at the add-on rate.

6

Final payment & launch

Once you've signed off, you pay the remaining 50%. I then transfer all files to your Netlify account, help you connect your domain (or walk you through it), and your site goes live.

You'll have everything: the code, the Netlify account credentials, and a handover note covering how to make simple updates yourself.

What you provide

What I need from you.

The more clearly you can brief me, the faster and smoother the project goes. Here's what helps most.

📝

Your copy / text

What you do, who you serve, your story, and what you want visitors to do. Don't worry if it's rough — I can tidy it up. Copywriting assistance is also available as an add-on.

🖼️

Photos & images

Your logo, photos of your work, team, or premises. If you don't have photos, I can recommend free stock image sources that won't look stock-y.

🎨

Brand direction

Colours, fonts, or a mood — even "something clean and modern" is a starting point. Links to 2–3 sites you like (and why) are more useful than you'd think.

📋

Your goals

What do you want the site to do? Generate enquiries? Showcase a portfolio? Book appointments? This shapes every layout decision I make.

Common questions

Process FAQ.

Not constantly. I'll need you at the start (for the brief and deposit), at the design approval stage, and at the final review. Between those points, I work independently. Most clients check in once a day during the build, which is plenty.
Tell me in the brief form and we'll work out a plan. I can build with placeholder text and swap in your real content later, or you can add the copywriting assistance add-on (R1,200) and I'll write the pages for you based on our brief conversation.
If you already have a domain (on GoDaddy, Afrihost, or anywhere else), I'll walk you through pointing the DNS records to your Netlify site — it usually takes 15 minutes and I'll guide you step by step. If you need a domain, I'll help you register one. If you're happy with a free Netlify subdomain (yoursite.netlify.app) while you sort it out, that works too.
You own the site completely, so you can do whatever you like with it. If you want ongoing support — content updates, new pages, small changes — the R500/month maintenance retainer covers that. Otherwise, there's no obligation to stay in touch. The handover note explains how to make simple edits yourself.

The process starts
with a single form.

It takes about 5 minutes and gives me everything I need. No discovery calls, no lengthy back-and-forth to get started.
