Two rounds, then we launch.

Here is the whole process, start to finish, with the numbers. Most sites go live about 3 weeks after the call.

1
Free preview
Day 0
Enter your site and your email. Within 3 business days you get a link to a mockup of what your site could become. No call, no card, no obligation.
2
Survey
Same day
Eleven short questions at a unique link: what you do, who you serve, what you want visitors to do, which pages you need. About ten minutes.
3
30-minute call
When you're ready
We walk through the preview, settle the page list and the design direction, and write both down. That's the scope. It doesn't change after this without a new quote.
4
First draft
About 5 business days
Not a mockup. A full working site on a private link, built from your existing content and photos, with the copy tightened up. You approve the words instead of writing them.
5
Round one
You have 5 business days
Send one list of changes. We turn it around in 2 to 3 days. Anything that trickles in by email gets batched into the next round rather than done on arrival.
6
Round two
You have 5 business days
Same deal. This round is for polish, not a new direction. After it, the site is approved.
7
Launch
About 3 weeks from the call
With Wisk Website Hosting, we put the site online and point your domain at it. Or we hand you the files to put on any hosting you like. The domain stays yours. It always was.
8
Fix window
14 days after launch
Typos, broken links, anything that's a bug: fixed free. After that, changes are hourly or covered by Wisk Website Hosting.

$500 flat

What keeps it $500.

Six rules, written down up front so nobody has to argue about them later. They are the whole reason the price is a number instead of a range.

Two rounds, each one consolidated list. Changes that trickle in by email are batched into the next round.
The design direction is locked after round one. A new look is a new project.
A revision is a change to the agreed pages: copy, images, colors, layout tweaks. New pages, new features, or a new direction get quoted separately.
If we don't hear from you for 10 business days, the project pauses. Restarting carries a small fee.
A third round is available for $150 if you want it.
After the 14-day fix window, changes are hourly or covered by Wisk Website Hosting ($11.99/month).

What if I don't like the first draft?: That's what round one is for. Tell us everything in one list and we'll turn it around. If the whole direction is wrong, that's a conversation, not a round, and it usually means we missed something on the call. We'd rather fix that than argue about it.
What counts as a change?: Anything on the pages we agreed to: different words, a swapped photo, a new color, a section moved. Adding a page, adding a feature like booking, or changing the look entirely is scope, and scope gets a quote.
What if I go quiet?: Life happens. After 10 business days without a reply the project pauses so it doesn't drag on for months. Restarting costs a small fee and we pick up where we left off.
What happens to my domain?: Nothing. It stays registered to you, where it is now. At launch we change where it points, or walk you through doing it. We never take ownership of a client's domain.
Who hosts it?: Your choice. Wisk Website Hosting is $11.99/month: we host it, point your domain at it, and handle small updates. Or we hand you the files and a one-page guide, and you put it on any hosting you like. We don't upload it or set up your domain for you, but if you get stuck we'll point you in the right direction.
Can I update it myself afterward?: Yes. The site is plain files, so anyone comfortable with a text editor can change words and swap images. The one-page guide covers it. If you'd rather not, that's what Wisk Website Hosting is for.
