Every website I build follows the same straightforward process — no jargon, no mystery, no drawn-out timelines.
1. Discovery Call
It starts with a free call or meeting. I’ll ask about your business, your customers, what’s working and what isn’t, and what you actually need your website to do. If you’re a Hassocks-based business, I’m happy to meet locally or jump on a video call — whatever works for you. By the end, you’ll have a clear idea of scope, timeline, and cost.
2. Design
I create a custom design mockup so you can see exactly what your site will look like before I build it. No generic templates — everything is designed around your brand, your content, and your audience. If you need branding or logo design as part of the project, I handle that first so your website has a solid visual foundation.
3. Build and SEO Setup
Once the design is approved, I build your site on WordPress — custom-coded, mobile responsive, and fast. Every page gets SEO setup from day one: page titles, meta descriptions, local keyword targeting, Google Business Profile optimisation, and technical foundations that give you the best chance of ranking for searches like “web design Hassocks” and “[your service] Hassocks”.
4. Launch and Training
Before going live, I test everything across iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop. On launch day, you get a training session so you can update your own content without needing to call me. I include 30 days of post-launch support as standard, and ongoing hosting and maintenance is available from £10/month if you want it.
The whole process typically takes 2-4 weeks for a standard site, or 4-8 weeks for larger projects with ecommerce or complex functionality.
