Website details
What we set up for launch, what we can manage afterward, and what you get when you take over.
Design and build
- Page scope
- We agree on the page list, features, and price before work begins. Most builds cover up to around 10 pages. A simple extra page and a new feature take different amounts of work.
- Responsive layout
- Pages adapt to phone, tablet, and desktop screens. We check navigation, text, and forms at different widths, label form fields, and make keyboard focus visible.
- Inquiry forms and contact links
- When a form is part of the build, we check required fields, set the receiving inbox, and test a submission. We can include tap-to-call, email, and directions links where customers need them.
- Search setup
- We set page titles and descriptions, use descriptive URLs, and prepare a sitemap and crawl settings for the pages that should appear in search.
Domain and launch
- Domain and DNS
- We connect your domain to the new site using the DNS records your host requires, such as A or CNAME records. If you already use the domain for email, we check the mail records before making changes.
- SSL and HTTPS
- We set up or verify the site's TLS certificate, often called an SSL certificate. We check that visitors land on the secure HTTPS address.
- Preview and launch checks
- You get a preview to review the content. When we launch, we check the public domain, key links, and any forms included in the build.
Maintenance and handoff
- Optional management
- For $129 a month, we can manage hosting, site updates, and domain settings. Where applicable, we can also look after the DNS records that connect your domain to your business email.
- Website ownership
- You own the legal rights to the website we build for you. You can keep us on, run it yourself, or bring in another provider.
- Taking over the site
- The handoff is $250 if you take over at launch, or $179 if you leave monthly management later. We transfer the site and relevant access and explain hosting, renewals, and updates. If you’ve chosen another provider, we’ll coordinate the transfer with them. Our maintenance and technical support end after handoff.
