The process, from first email to launch

We are a web design team that has been building small business websites since 2008. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Do the online sign-up (about 5 minutes) and email us whatever material you already have.
2. We build the website on a proven professional template and send a temporary link within 3 working days.
3. Once you approve it, the first monthly fee is issued and the website goes live on your domain, together with your business email.

Once the site is live, the technical side stays with us, and text and photo updates by email come with the plan.
