Final scope, timeline, and investment are outlined in a custom proposal for each project.
The process
01.
Design Review
On your project start date, we'll finalize everything before development begins. Hop on a live call or send over your own video walkthrough (I love a Loom) — whatever's easiest for you. Either way, this is where we confirm animations, special features, and final scope, so if anything's changed since your Discovery Call, we sort it out now.
02.
Development
I'll build your design as a fully custom WordPress theme. Once it's ready, you'll get a demo link to review the site for yourself before anything goes to your client.
03.
Revisions
You'll have time to review the site and leave feedback. It's simple and organized, with comments pinned directly on the live page. I'll make any revisions you need before you send it to your client for approval. Once they've reviewed it, there's one more round of revisions for any final tweaks they request.
04.
Launch
I'll connect domain and hosting and launch the site. Your client gets 2 weeks of complimentary technical support and training videos (upon request), plus the option to join a monthly Maintenance Plan.
FAQs
Is ongoing support available?
You’ll get two weeks of complimentary support after your site goes live — so if anything needs fine-tuning, it’s covered.
After that, support is available as needed and billed at my current hourly rate. You’ll also have the option to join a Maintenance Plan for ongoing updates, backups, and security — perfect if you want the tech side fully taken care of.
Will my site be SEO optimized?
Yes.I take care of everything a web developer should. That means clean code, fast performance, and all the technical foundations (mobile responsiveness, heading structure, meta data) that set your site up to be found.
Think of it like building a house: I make sure the foundation is solid and everything’s up to code. But getting more people to find your website — that’s a different skill set, and it’s where an SEO specialist comes in.
Will my client need a WordPress host?
Yes. Every WordPress site needs hosting to go live. If your client already has hosting set up, we can work with what they’ve got. If not, I recommend SiteGround for most projects — their Starter plan runs about $20/month and covers what a typical site needs. For larger builds (e-commerce, high-traffic sites), we’ll talk through the best hosting option for your specific project.
Do you communicate with my client?
Yes, typically. I find it works best if your client knows I’m handling development. It keeps things simple, especially since most WordPress sites benefit from ongoing maintenance, and I can offer that directly once the project wraps.
If you’d rather keep things white-labeled, that’s an option too — just let me know on our Discovery Call.
Contracts and payments are always between you and I directly.
What file types should I send?
I can work with Illustrator (.ai), XD (.xd) or Figma (.fig) files. I ask that your design mockups are detailed and organized so I’m able to understand the functionality of the site. I also recommend you send separate mockups for mobile versions (tablet and smartphone). If separate mockups are not included I will develop the mobile version as I see fit.
Will my client be able to make updates to their site?
Absolutely! Each page will be neatly labeled in the backend so they can edit text and photos easily – no code necessary. I will also provide complimentary video tutorials specific to the site (upon request) so they can always go back and watch as a reference.
They’ll also have the option of signing up for a Maintenance Plan, which covers technical upkeep (plugin updates, backups, uptime monitoring, etc) plus an hour of basic content updates each month like swapping photos and updating copy.
