Discovery Call
First, we’ll have a quick call to understand the high-level objectives of the project. We’ll talk through any technical requests or integrations, and help choose the right platform – WordPress, Shopify, or otherwise.
You’ll send us a proposed Sitemap and some initial Wireframes. If the project is large or complex, we may start with a Discovery Phase to perform due diligence and create a Project Blueprint.

Project Proposal
Based on the information provided in Step 1, we’ll send over a Project Proposal that contains a breakdown of pricing, timeline, milestones, and potential 3rd party costs (like plugins or apps.)
Once you’re ready to go – we’ll proceed to the next step.
Design & Asset Delivery
Your team completes the Design phase with the client and provides us the final source files. We accept designs in Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe XD, Sketch, Zeplin, and more.
In addition, we’ll request other assets and credentials such as:
- Hosting Access
- Google Analytics Access
- Purchased Plugins
- Website Content & Photos
Development
Here’s where we get to work. We manage the full development process from start to finish. Most projects contain these internal checkpoints:
- Setting up Dev & Staging environments
- Template Customization
- Feature Development
- Best Practices Checklist
Weekly Development Updates
Throughout development, you’ll receive at least weekly updates from our team to share progress and any potential hurdles.
Quality Assurance
Once development is complete, we proceed with a rigorous internal QA process:
- Responsive Testing*
- Design Proofing
- Functional Testing
- Performance Testing
- Security, Stress, Host Testing (Optional)
* On all major devices & browsers, or as defined in SOW.
Staging Deployment
Also known as the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) phase, now it’s time for you and your client to review the final product! You’ll also have access to the CMS at this point to add content or make changes.
Your team sends us 2-3 consolidated lists of fixes which we review and complete.
- Round 1 Fixes
- Round 2 Fixes
- Round 3 Fixes (Optional)
Live Deployment
Whohoo! After final approval, your site is now live and ready to be enjoyed by the masses.
Work your marketing magic and let the clicks, likes, and sales roll in.
Post-Launch Support
After Live Deployment, we’re still here to help. Outside of paid ad-hoc support, we offer the following:
Free 30 Day Warranty
Every Website Development project comes with a 30-Day warranty period to cover any bugs or fixes within the original scope of work.
Maintenance Plans
Your client can choose from one of our monthly maintenance plans for ongoing upkeep, security, and performance.
