Every client is different. Over many years, I’ve evolved my friendly “prototyping” approach because clients find it fun and friendly, and it works!
😬 The webdev industry way
Lengthy vetting process. Pay upfront – fingers crossed! View a static design in Photoshop, transfer it to Figma, draft text in Word, 3 rounds of approvals, realize the content doesn’t fit the design, cut half the words to fit the look, then finally start building the website. Three costly specialists on a weekly call for months.
🤗 Our way
At InTouch24-7, we streamline the process by building prototypes—a working website you can click through and experience right from the start. It saves us time, and you money. You see exactly where we are at any time. If you have staff to enter easy content, GREAT! Maintainability is built-in.
- We bring together the right experts for your specific project.
- We measure success by results, not hours.
- View progress in real-time.
- Not quite right? We discuss, adjust and pivot.
The discovery phase is free.
We connect, and discuss your vision, your customers, your brand, your sales strategy. How will you drive visitors to your website? What can we do to make sure they stay? What’s your call-to-action?
If you have everything already defined and written down, well done! If not, we work through it together and get your strategy right.
Once your marketing strategy is defined, and we mutually chose to work together, I create a working design prototype. This is a fully interactive website that you can see, touch and click on. You can show it to others on your team.
Yes, in a bigger project I invest 20-30 hours without guaranteed payment, but I believe in you. I believe in my capability to create a website you want, and you should feel just as confident!
After a working design is approved I give you a fixed, fully specified quote. We agree content, interactivity and timing. You pay 50% of the quote.
You then provide us with content – photos, presentations, old brochures, lists, ideas and scribbles. I gather any content I’ve agreed to provide – I source royalty-free photos, edit, and copywrite. You can track your new website daily and watch it grow.
I train you on updating yourself, which is a good time to make any minor adjustments. When we’re ready to launch, I move your site to your existing server. I help you deal with techie service providers.
Or you can chose to sign up with me to host and maintain. When I host, I do your security updates!
After the successful move, you pay the final 50% of the quote.
- Some clients enjoy the control and immediacy of DIY.
- Some love writing blogs, but stress over design and forms.
- Some companies have an in-house PR person who needs special training.
- Some want to outsource with a fixed retainer.
- Some phone for ad hoc upgrades and additions.
Whatever suits you, I’m flexible, and always here to help. I never walk away and say “it’s your problem now”.
