How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. Tell me about your business

    Send a short request, or just reply to my text.

  2. Agree the plan

    I agree the pages, content and timing with you, then design and build it.

  3. Review and refine

    You look it over and I refine it until you're happy.

    It goes live on your domain and you own it.

Usually about a week from having your details to launch. Faster by arrangement.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is it really $500?

Yes, for a full custom website. Extras such as bookings or online shops are quoted before any work begins.

How long does it take?

Usually about a week once I have your details and content. Faster by arrangement.

What do you need from me?

A short description of your business, plus your content and photos. I agree the pages, content and timing with you before I start.

Do I own the website?

Yes. You can edit the code or move it to any host. No lock-in.

Do I have to pay for hosting?

No. It's optional: $120 a year from launch, or use any host you like.

Can I use my existing domain?

Yes. Or I'll arrange a new one at cost, with no markup.

I already have a website. Can you replace it?

Yes. I'll design and build a new custom website, and it can launch on the domain you already use.

What if something breaks?

You get one year of free fixes if something I built stops working. That covers defects in what I delivered, not new features.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer: $250 to start, and $250 when you're happy. Nothing is paid when you send a request.

Who will I be dealing with?

Just me, Matt. I design and build every site myself.

Are the example sites real businesses?

No. They're original concepts I designed for fictional businesses, so you can see the range. None of them are client work.

I got a text from you. What now?
