Custom website development

It might surprise you, but the first step is getting straight into the build. I set up my development environment, configure the CMS and build the site, closely following the designs. I shut my curtains, make a coffee and get to work - this is my bread and butter.

Once development's in good shape, I test it thoroughly. I run every site through a 10-point checklist, at regular intervals throughout the build, fixing anything that needs it before moving on to the next section.

When I'm happy with where things stand, I deploy the site to a staging server - a private testing website where we can review, test, and add content together. It's only ever shared between the two of us, so you can get familiar with the site without worrying about breaking anything, or the wrong person stumbling across it.

Before launch, I'll give you full training on the CMS (if you need it). We'll go through everything on a call, and you'll get a PDF guide to keep, so you're never stuck.

The exciting bit. I'll handle the whole launch for you - either moving the site onto your existing hosting or hosting it myself.

Launching shouldn't be the end of the journey. I like building long-term relationships with clients, and I see your website as something that should keep evolving, not something that's finished the day it goes live.
