    How it works

    A proven 4-phase process

    The same process agencies use, without the agency overhead. You always know what’s happening, what’s next, and what you’re getting.

    1. Phase 1: Discover & plan

      We get clear on your goals, your customers and what your website needs to do.

      • Discovery call to understand your business, audience and goals
      • Competitor and market review
      • Keyword research so we target what your customers search for
      • Sitemap and page structure planned around conversions
      • Content plan: what goes on every page and what I need from you

      You get: A clear plan, a fixed price and a timeline in writing.

    2. Phase 2: Design

      Your website designed page by page, around your brand and your customers.

      • Wireframes to lock in layout and user journey
      • Homepage design first, so you see the direction early
      • Full page designs for desktop and mobile
      • 3 rounds of revisions & feedback sessions
      • Final sign-off before the build phase

      You get: Approved designs for every page, so there are no surprises in the build.

    3. Phase 3: Build

      Your design turned into a fast, custom-coded website. No templates, no page builders.

      • Custom development, pixel-matched to the approved designs
      • Fully responsive on every screen size
      • On-page SEO: meta tags, schema, sitemap and clean URLs
      • Speed optimization for fast loading on mobile
      • Forms, booking, analytics and integrations set up
      • CMS setup if you want to edit content yourself
      • A private preview link so you can review everything before launch

      You get: A finished, fully working website, ready to launch.

    4. Phase 4: Launch & grow

      Tested, launched and set up to bring in customers from day one.

      • Testing across devices and browsers
      • Accessibility and performance checks
      • Domain, hosting and SSL set up
      • Redirects from your old site so you keep your Google rankings
      • Google Search Console and analytics connected

    About

    Hi, I’m Charles

    I’m a web designer and developer. For years I designed and built websites for marketing and SEO agencies. Now I work directly with businesses, so you get the same quality without the agency price tag.

    I’ve built websites for landscapers, architects, tech startups and everything in between, for clients across the US and Europe. Every one is designed to do one job: bring in more customers.

    When you work with me, you work with me. Not an account manager, not a junior designer, not a team you’ll never meet.
