From first chat to a live site: how we build your website

By Max & Daniel · Updated 23 September 2026

Getting a website built shouldn't mean weeks of meetings and a big deposit. Here's exactly how it works with us, from the first message to your site going live.

Step 1: Tell us about your business

Fill in a quick form with your business, the look you're after and your current site if you have one. It takes about 30 seconds, and that's all we need to start.

Step 2: We build the real thing

We design and build your custom site and put it online on a private link. It's a real, working website, not a mockup or a stock template. You pay nothing at this stage.

Step 3: You review it live

Click around on your phone and your computer. Show your partner or your team. Tell us what you'd like changed and we'll change it.

Step 4: You decide

Love it? It's a one-time $990 to launch and own it, starting with a $495 deposit so we can finish the build. Don't love it? Walk away and owe nothing. Only once you approve do we talk payment.

Step 5: We launch it

We put your site live on your domain and set up your professional email. After that, $39 a month covers hosting, your domain, email and edits, so updates are just a message away.
