— How we cook

From kitchen
to launch in four steps.

  • 01

    Taste test

    Week 1 · discovery

    Taste test

    Audit your current stack, talk to your team, and write the brief. We map audience, KPIs, budget, and the shortest path from where you are to where you want to be.

    You leave week one with a one-page scope doc, a pricing envelope, and a green-light milestone plan.

    What you'll receive
    • Deep audit of site + stack
    • Stakeholder interviews + KPI alignment
    • One-page scope doc + pricing envelope
    • Week-by-week milestone plan
    • Kickoff loom so the whole team's aligned
  • 02

    Prep & chop

    Week 2–3 · planning

    Prep & chop

    Sitemap, low-fi wireframes, content model, and a real page-by-page copy outline. This is where the slow, careful decisions happen — before any pixels hit the screen.

    Approve the plan and the build becomes fast, predictable, and review-friendly.

    What you'll receive
    • Full sitemap with page intents
    • Low-fi wireframes per template
    • Content model with fields + taxonomies
    • Page-by-page copy outline + deadlines
    • Asset + photography inventory
  • 03

    Simmer & build

    Week 3–5 · production

    Simmer & build

    Design and engineering work in parallel. You see progress in weekly reviews — real pages in a real browser, not static mocks. WordPress, Webflow, headless CMS, or custom stack, whichever fits the project.

    QA happens continuously, not at the end. Accessibility, SEO, and performance budgets are baked in from day one.

    What you'll receive
    • Private staging URL, updated weekly
    • Figma component library
    • WCAG AA accessibility audit
    • Performance budget + Lighthouse report
    • Visual + functional QA signoff
  • 04

    Plate & serve

    Week 6 · launch

    Plate & serve

    Go-live day is low drama: DNS cutover, SSL, analytics, search-console. Your team gets a personalised loom-walkthrough of the CMS and a written edit-runbook they can come back to.

    Then we stay on the pulse for 30 days — bug fixes, tweaks, and coaching included. After that you can stay on a care plan or fly solo.

    What you'll receive
    • Zero-downtime DNS + SSL cutover
    • Analytics + search-console verified
    • Custom CMS loom training
    • Editor-friendly written runbook
    • Care window (bugs, tweaks, coaching)

— FAQ

Answers
on the house.

The questions we get every week, on record.

Still hungry? Ask us directly [email protected] →
What tech stack do you build on? +
Whatever fits the job. WordPress and Webflow are our fastest path for content-heavy sites. For performance-critical or interactive builds we reach for Astro, Next.js, or a custom React front-end — with a headless CMS on the back if you need editors. We'll recommend the stack on the consult, not before.
Is hosting, SSL, and a domain included? +
Every package ships with free hosting for the first year, an SSL certificate, and your domain registered on us. After year one, hosting rolls into an optional monthly care plan — or you can migrate to your own provider, no lock-in.
Do you handle content and copy? +
We can. Our Elite package bundles copywriting; otherwise we'll hand you a content checklist with deadlines so nothing slips.
Is AI an add-on? +
AI integrations are scoped per project. Most small-business sites need one or two — chat + smart search is the most common bundle.
What if I already have a site? +
We do rebuilds, audits, and migrations. The free consult starts with us walking through what you have and what's worth keeping.
Where are you based? +
We are a Remote-first studio with a home base in San Diego, California. We work with clients across the Americas and Europe.
The Sampler
