Five steps. Zero surprises.

Every project follows the same path — designed to keep you informed, in control, and genuinely excited every step of the way. Here's how it actually goes.

step_01_discovery.sh
// week 0
01

Free consultation.

We start with a no-pressure conversation about your business — what you do, who you serve, what you want a visitor to do when they land on your site. I listen first; design comes later.

$ wbl discover // 30-minute call · no commitment
understanding your business ok
step_02_design.sh
// week 1

Design & approve.

I draft the visual direction — colors, typography, layout, and the hero of every page. You review and give feedback in plain English. Two rounds of revisions are included; we keep going until it feels right.

$ wbl design --rounds 2
drafts ready for review ok
step_03_build.sh
// weeks 2–3
03

Build & test.

I build the site page by page — clean code, mobile-first, fast load times. You see a live preview link as it comes together so there are no surprises at launch. Every page gets tested on real phones, tablets, and desktops.

$ wbl build --preview
mobile + tablet + desktop ok
step_04_launch.sh
// week 3–4
04

Launch & hand over.

I publish the site to your domain, set up SSL and the contact form, and walk you through what's live. You get a short doc that explains what's been built and how to request future changes.

$ wbl deploy --prod
live · ssl · contact form ok
step_05_maintain.sh
// every week after
05

Maintain & update.

This is where most agencies disappear. With Websites By Link, ongoing care is built into the relationship — content swaps, photo updates, hosting, security, and small design refinements are all handled by me. You text or email when you need a change.

$ wbl watch --forever
