Agreed update rhythm
Updates follow a cadence agreed at kickoff, with completed work, next steps, decisions and blockers visible.
Approach
A documented process without agency theatre.
The client sees the scope, milestone outputs, decisions, progress and handover path before uncertainty becomes expensive.
- 01
Discover
Understand the business, audience, useful outcome and current material.
- 02
Define
Document scope, responsibilities, milestones, risks and acceptance criteria.
- 03
Design
Review and approve content hierarchy and website direction before full implementation.
- 04
Build
Review working progress through a live preview and documented update rhythm.
- 05
Validate
Check the real experience across devices, critical routes and launch criteria.
- 06
Deliver
Hand over access, ownership, launch records and a clear maintenance guide.
Milestone map
Each phase has a visible output and approval point.
01
Alignment and scope
Agree on the problem, pages, responsibilities and acceptance criteria before build work expands.
Approval: Scope and direction approved
02
Website direction
Make the hierarchy and visual direction tangible before committing to the full implementation.
Approval: Direction approved
03
Build and review
Review working progress through a live preview instead of waiting for a final reveal.

04
QA, launch and handover

Approval: Launch approved
Working principles
Direct ownership changes how decisions travel.
Review before expansion
Each milestone has a visible output and approval point before the next phase grows.
No silent scope changes
New requests are recorded with their effect on scope, timing and delivery before implementation.
One accountable owner
The person discussing the project is the same person shaping, building and validating the website.
Handover artifacts
Delivery includes the records needed to understand what was built.
- Project brief and success criteria
- Page, content and responsibility plan
- Milestone and approval map
- Decision, revision and risk log
- Working preview and progress notes
- Responsive and launch QA checklist
- Access, ownership and handover guide

Illustrative proposal example / Not client work
Premium architecture studio website
An established architecture studio has strong completed work, but its current website makes projects difficult to explore and gives prospective clients no clear path to start a conversation.
- Indicative timeline
- 4-6 weeks
- Core page types
- 6
- Approval gates
- 4
- Update rhythm
- Agreed at kickoff
Initial diagnosis
- The strongest projects are buried instead of leading the experience.
- Services and project expertise are not connected to a useful next step.
- The mobile experience does not present visual work with the same confidence.
Useful outcome
Make the studio easier to trust, help visitors find relevant work quickly and create a clear path to a qualified project inquiry.
Proposed scope
- Homepage and positioning
- About and service pages
- Filterable project catalog
- Reusable project-detail system
- Contact and inquiry path
- Responsive QA, SEO setup and launch
Client inputs
- Brand assets and available copy
- Selected project images and details
- One decision owner for approvals
- Domain and hosting access before launch
Risk control
No vague commitment.
- Final scope and commercial terms are confirmed after the brief.
- New requests are assessed before they change timing or delivery.
- The next phase expands only after the current output is reviewed.
