How it works
Six steps from the first call to a site that stays right, with what you pay and what you own at each point.
About twenty minutes. You tell us what your site needs to do and what's wrong with the one you have. We tell you which branch suits you, Managed or Owned outright, and roughly what it takes.
A short document listing what gets built and any add-ons, the upfront and monthly figures for your branch, the launch date, and the checklist the finished site is checked against. Anything you add later is quoted separately and only goes ahead once you approve it.
Your home page and one service page at a private address. If you've added quote forms, they work end to end, so you can send a test enquiry and see it arrive. You agree the look and feel on these two before the rest follow, while changing direction still costs almost nothing.
You send a short brief for each page, and dot points are fine, with recent job photos. We write and build each page, and you check it for accuracy. Two rounds of changes per page are included in the price.
We switch the site over on a weekday morning, with every old address redirected. You check it against the agreed checklist and accept it. Owned outright sites are then handed over with the documentation and a walkthrough, and defects are fixed at no charge for 30 days.
Every change takes the same path: we make it, the checks run, you get a private preview link, you approve it, and it's live within minutes. On the Managed branch that's part of the monthly fee. Owned outright sites can take Ongoing care, month to month, or have changes quoted one at a time.
Pricing
Two websites that look alike can be very different jobs. One is a handful of pages built from scratch. Another replaces a site with seventy old addresses that all need redirecting without losing your place in Google.
So every site is quoted after the first call, at a fixed price, in writing, before work starts. A simple Managed site can start with no upfront cost at all. Owned outright costs more upfront, because you're buying the code and the setup outright.
The saving is passed on. Much of the routine build work is now automated, so the quote pays for deciding what to build, writing it and keeping it right, not for hours of typing.
Ownership
On either branch, your domain name is in your business's name, whatever happens. It never becomes ours, even if you leave.
Owned outright: GitHub, Vercel and any Google tools are opened in your name and billed to you directly, with no markup. Managed: they're ours, covered by the monthly fee.
Owned outright: yours once the final invoice is paid. Managed: ours, and yours at no cost if you leave after 12 months. Leave sooner and we'll price a buyout when you ask.
Every account, setting and step written down and kept with the code, so another developer could take over. Nothing is built in a way that needs us specifically.
Every enquiry reaches you directly, by phone, email or the quote forms, and the details in it belong to you.
Scope
Saying so early is cheaper for both sides than a job that goes wrong.
The search and analytics add-on sets up the tracking so you can judge what your Google Ads bring in, but we don't run or manage ad campaigns.
Photos come from you, and recent jobs work best, or they're stock images you pay for. We don't shoot photos or make video.
There's no screen for editing the site yourself. Changes go through the checks and a preview, which is what keeps the site right.
Pages that repeat the same words with a different place name don't help you or your visitors. Old suburb addresses go to the matching service page instead.
