When Is a Website Project the Right Fit?

A fixed-scope project fits when you need one clear piece of work done: a new website, a rebuild of the one you have, or a migration from another platform to Webflow or Astro.

  • A New Website

    You're launching a startup or product and need a marketing site that loads fast, ranks in search and turns visitors into leads from day one.

  • A Website Rebuild

    Your current site is slow, dated or hard to edit. I rebuild it in Webflow or Astro so it's faster, easier for your team to update and ready to grow.

  • A Website Migration

    Your site lives on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or another platform. I move it to Webflow or Astro, carry over your content and redirect your old URLs so you keep your search rankings.

Two Ways to Start Your Website Project

Bring your own design and I build it, or have me design and build it for you. Either way, you get a production-ready site in Webflow or Astro for a fixed price.

  • Option 1

    You Bring the Design, I Build It

    Hand over a Figma file from your designer or in-house team and I turn it into a fast, responsive website in Webflow or Astro, matched to your design.

    • Figma designs built faithfully, on every screen size
    • Moving or rebuilding a site? Keep its current look
    • Best when your design is done and you need it live
  • Option 2

    I Design It and Build It

    No design yet? I design your site in Figma around your goals and audience, then build it, so one person owns the whole thing from first draft to launch.

    • Design and development from one person
    • Pages planned to turn visitors into leads
    • Best when you're starting fresh or want a new look

What's Included in a Website Project?

Every project includes the full build: a responsive site in Webflow or Astro with a CMS, speed optimization, technical SEO, integrations, analytics, launch and handover. Design is included when you need it.

  • Responsive development

    Your site built in Webflow or custom Astro, with clean structure that looks right on every phone, tablet and desktop.

    Development
  • CMS setup

    Webflow's built-in CMS, or Sanity for Astro sites, set up for blog posts, case studies, jobs or anything you publish often, so your team can add content without a developer.

    Content
  • Speed optimization

    Compressed modern images, lean code, few third-party scripts and fast delivery through Cloudflare, so pages load quickly on mobile.

    Speed
  • Technical SEO

    Titles, meta descriptions, clean URLs, alt text, a sitemap and structured data, so search engines and AI answer engines understand your site.

    SEO
  • Integrations

    Forms, your CRM, Memberstack logins, Airtable, Finsweet Attributes and any custom tool your site needs to connect to.

    Integrations
  • Analytics

    Analytics and conversion tracking set up from day one, so you can see where visitors come from and which pages bring in leads.

    Tracking
  • Migration, when you're moving

    Your content carried over from WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or another platform, with old URLs redirected to keep your rankings.

    Migration
  • Launch and handover

    I connect your domain, check speed and SEO before going live, and show your team how to edit and manage the site.

    Launch
  • Design

    No design yet? I share moodboards to set the direction, then design every page in Figma before building it.

How a Website Project Works

A website project runs in five steps: a discovery call, design if you need it, development, testing and launch, then handover. Your exact timeline is agreed on the discovery call, before any work starts.

  1. Step 1: Discovery call

    Agree the Scope, Price and Timeline

    You and I talk through your goals, pages and features, pick Webflow or Astro together, and agree a fixed scope, price and timeline before any work starts.

  2. Step 2: DesignOptional

    Set the Look in Figma

    Only if you need it. I share moodboards (stylescapes) so you can pick a direction, then design each page in Figma. Bringing your own design? Skip straight to development.

  3. Step 3: Development

    Build the Real Website

    Your site is built in Webflow or Astro with the CMS, integrations and analytics in place. You see a real, working website within days and give feedback on a live preview link.

  4. Step 4: Testing and launch

    Check Everything, Then Go Live

    I test every page on phones, tablets and desktops, check speed and SEO, set up redirects if you're migrating, and connect your domain.

  5. Step 5: Handover

    Hand Over a Site Your Team Can Run

    I walk your team through editing the site so you can run it yourself, or stay on as your web developer with a monthly retainer.
