Lets get started. Lets work together.
If you're here it's because we are about to get started on your project. You may be excited, you may be anxious, don't worry I'll make this easy on you. Working with someone new can be daunting, this page is to help guide you through what we need from you and how the website will progress.
These items in the white cards <--- are what we need from you first.
Don't worry if you don't have all of it. We may have already agreed to hosting, design, content etc. just provide what you can. All of these items can be uploaded through our slack channel or via google drive. Links to these services will be found in your email. More about these services is below.
This is a communication platform that enables of to keep track of all the discussions about the project. We can share files and track progress throughout the process. This helps us avoid the frustration of scrolling through email threads. We can still use email but slack is much easier to keep track of projects. You will receive an invitation email to our Slack channel. Don't be concerned it's much easier that you, think. We'll be up and running quickly.
This is my online base of organisations, all my task lists, calendars, timelines and documents are kept here. On occasion I will invite you to participate in a project task list, especially when curating the content for the website as it's important to keep track of the progress so we don't go past the project deadline.
I use google drive for all my large files sharing. This can be for images, video or audio. Most files can be shared through slack but some large files will need to be stored here. We can also use this service to share important login credentials and passwords. I will set up a folder for the project and share this with you via email.
I always recommend Cloudways hosting for all websites large and small. They have a superb infrastructure using high-quality cloud hosting. Starting as low as $10 per month it also includes free SSL certificates and the best customer experience I have ever experienced. Please visit them here or ask me more about this.

The Development Process
Designing and developing a website, no matter how big or small can be an overwhelming process. It involves many different parts that need to fit together perfectly. The general process is as follows, but always subject to change.
LAYOUT AND DESIGN
A large and time-consuming part of designing a website is in the planning and layout stage of the process. I’ll create the sitemap (Page/Menu hierarchy) of the website for approval first, then I’ll design the home page and a sub-page (or more upon request) for approval.
DEVELOPMENT
Once the site layout and design is approved, I’ll move forward with the designing the entire site, pages and add all functionality and plugins. We’ll make sure your site looks great and functions nicely across all devices and web browsers before moving to the final step.
EDITS & REVISIONS
Once the site is ready for final review, you’ll be able to review each page and we can make detailed edits until the site is revised completely. We ask that you please review ALL pages to make sure all spelling, grammar, addresses and information are correct before going live.
Wrapping up and Going Live!
Once the site is ready to go live, all unnecessary plugins, pages, images and backend files will be removed. The new site will be backed up and saved locally, should it ever need restored. Once live, it may take between 24-48 hours for the new site to pull up on some devices. Some computers will need to be refreshed in order to see the new site, though most computers will see the new site immediately depending on the wifi connection and where they are in relation to the location of server that the website is on.
Your website logins and all credentials will be sent to you via basecamp or secure email insuring the security of your passwords. Though your logins and passwords will be saved by me locally, PLEASE SAVE ALL LOGINS FOR YOUR RECORDS AS WELL. Upon completion, you’ll receive a link to my “moving forward” page where you’ll receive tips and tricks on what to do with your new website and also information on our Maintenance/Security Plan which I highly recommend for all my clients.
