How a project works, from the first conversation to long after launch

Six steps in three stages: plan, build and run. You work with me, Nick, the whole way through, and nothing is charged until you approve a mockup.

Free estimate. Business websites start at $500 up front and $35 a month.

Six steps, three stages

Each step ends with something concrete, so you always know where your project stands.

Steps 1 to 3. Working out what your site needs to do before anything is designed.

Step 1: Understand your business
Send the design request form or call me. We talk through what your business does, who your customers are, and what the site has to do for you. If you're in Omaha, we can meet in person.
You get a clear picture of what the site is for.
Step 2: Define requirements
Together we decide which pages you need, what goes on each one, and which features matter, such as contact forms, booking, online ordering or something custom.
You get a page and feature list, and a free estimate built from it.
Step 3: Explore the look
We go over colors, fonts and sites you like. If one of my concept designs is close to what you want, it can be a starting point. Either way, the design is shaped around your business, not a theme with your logo swapped in.
You get a design direction we both agree on.

Steps 4 to 5. A real version you can react to, refined until it's right.

Step 4: Mockup
I build a first version of your site and share it with you, so you can judge your ideas on a real page instead of a description.
Nothing is charged until you approve this mockup.
You get a working mockup to react to.
Step 5: Feedback and revisions
You tell me what to change and I refine it. We go back and forth until it's right, and I keep you updated as the rest of the site comes together.
You get a finished site you've signed off on.

Step 6. After launch, I stay on as the person who keeps your site working.

Step 6: Launch and ongoing support
I launch the site and keep it running on a monthly management plan that covers updates, fixes and content changes, so you never have to deal with the technical side. Changes are a message away.
You get a live site, and one person to call about it.

A build fee for the site, then a monthly plan that keeps it running.

Estimate: Free, and nothing is charged until you approve a mockup.
Business websites: From $500 up front, then $35 a month for updates, fixes and content changes.
Personal websites: From $250 up front, then $15 a month.
Payment options: The build fee grows with pages and features, and can be spread across a 6- or 12-month contract.

The design request is free, takes a few minutes and doesn't need an account. You'll see a live estimate as you fill it in. It asks for:

Send a design request and I'll reply within 48 hours. Prefer to talk it through first? Call or email me directly.
