Application before payment
Tell me about the project first. I review the fit and recommend the right package before any payment is requested.
How It Works
A Clear Website Process From Start to Launch.
You will know what comes next, what I need from you, and what gets approved before the project moves forward.
The full site is not built blindly.
Before full-site development, we establish the homepage look, feel, messaging direction, and overall experience. You review that direction early and approve it before the rest of the website takes shape.
This is not unlimited redesign and it is not a guarantee. It is a deliberate alignment point designed to reduce surprises and make the process more collaborative.
Fourteen deliberate steps.
Application comes before payment. Direction comes before expansion. Approval comes before launch.
- 01
Project Application
Share what your business needs and what you want the website to accomplish.
- 02
Package Recommendation
Joel reviews your application and recommends the right scope—even when it is not the most expensive option.
- 03
Proposal, Agreement & 50% Deposit
You receive clear project terms. Work begins after the agreement is signed and the 50% deposit is paid.
- 04
Detailed Onboarding
You provide the business details, content, photos, and access needed to build well.
- 05
The Homepage First Approach
Joel creates the visual, messaging, and experience direction for the homepage before building the rest of the site.
- 06
Homepage Approval
You see and approve that direction early, reducing surprises before full-site development begins.
- 07
Full Website Build
The approved direction is carried through the complete website.
- 08
Full Website Review
You receive the full site in one place and review it on desktop and mobile.
- 09
Consolidated Revisions
You gather feedback into one clear list so revision rounds stay efficient and focused.
- 10
Final Approval
You confirm the website is ready once the included revision rounds are complete.
- 11
Final Payment
The remaining balance is due before launch unless a different arrangement is agreed to in writing.
- 12
Launch
Joel connects the domain, completes final checks, and publishes the site.
- 13
Post-Launch Support
Your package includes a defined support period for questions and small launch-related fixes.
- 14
Follow-Up
Joel checks in after launch and can discuss future updates when they are needed.
Expectations that protect the work
50% deposit to begin
Work begins after the proposal and service agreement are approved and the initial deposit is paid.
Homepage approval before full build
The approved homepage direction becomes the foundation for the remaining pages.
One consolidated feedback list
Gather each revision round in one place instead of sending fragmented texts, DMs, or multiple emails.
Defined revision boundaries
Each package includes a specific number of consolidated rounds. Additional work requires written approval.
Final balance before launch
The remaining balance is due before launch unless another arrangement is agreed to in writing.
The first step is an application—not a checkout.
Share the business, the website goal, and what feels unclear. I’ll review it and recommend the right path before asking you to commit.
