The #1 question your site needs to answer in 5 seconds:
Is this for me and can I trust you?
Okay, technically that’s two questions, but still. For the past 15 years, that question has shaped how I design and build websites.
This proposal outlines how I’ll build a website that answers that question.
Inside, you’ll find:
A clear plan, with no surprises on scope or cost
A process built around your goals, not just my workflow
Honest timelines and what I need from you to hit them
The thinking behind every decision, not just the deliverables
Process
It all starts with you.

How we protect your investment - together
The projects that go smoothly are the ones where both sides show up. Here's how I keep things on track - and what I'll need from you to do the same.
Feedback windows
I'll give you clear review dates so you're never caught off guard. In return, feedback within 3 working days keeps us on schedule.
Scope changes
Got a new idea mid-project? Great, I love ambition. We'll log it, price it transparently, and decide together whether to include it now or phase it in.
Third parties
If you're working with other suppliers (copywriters, photographers), I'll coordinate with them directly so nothing falls through the gaps.
FAQs
Common questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Typical timeline is 4–6 weeks depending on feedback speed and content readiness. We'll confirm dates at kick-off.
Brand assets, access to any existing site, and a primary contact for feedback. If content is still being written, I can provide a checklist.
Yes. You'll get a block-based CMS with a short video walkthrough so your team can update pages confidently.
We can use your existing provider or I can recommend fast, reliable options. I'll handle deployment either way.
No problem. We'll scope add-ons separately so the core project stays on track and on budget.
Ready when you are, Sam!
