What to expect

My website building process

My process is designed to be simple and collaborative, taking care of the technical complexity while keeping you informed along the way. Everything I do is backed by decades of real-world knowledge, I've been building websites since 1998.

  • Discovery & Strategy

    I start by understanding your goals, your audience, and what you want your website to accomplish. Through a detailed questionnaire and discussion, I’ll identify your key objectives, content requirements, and any specific functionality you need. This foundation ensures we’re building something that actually works for your situation, not just a generic website.

  • Website's First Draft

    I create a custom design that reflects your style and serves your goals. Since this is a custom layout built around your specific content, I’ll need to gather all your text, images, and other materials first. We use your existing brand elements like colors and typography as the foundation, setting up global styles that ensure your site looks professional throughout.

  • Website Development

    Once you’re happy with how it will look, I go deep on the technical side to ensure fast loading times and smooth performance across all devices. During development, I integrate all the features and functionality discussed in the planning phase. I handle all the technical complexities while keeping your site optimized for search engines and user experience.

  • QA & Launch

    Before your website goes live, I thoroughly test everything to make sure it works perfectly across different browsers and devices. Once everything passes our quality checks, I launch your site and make sure the transition is smooth. Your new website is now live.
