A little honesty before we begin.
I do not work like most web designers, and that is on purpose. I do good work, I do it fast, and I take care of the people I build for. The way I get there looks a little different, so I would rather walk you through it now than let it surprise you later. None of this is about rules for the sake of rules. It is about giving your project my full attention and getting it across the finish line on time.
Texts get lost. My inbox does not.
When something needs action from me, send it by email. Texts have a way of disappearing. They land after hours, or when I am away from my desk, and your request slips right past me. When it is sitting in my inbox, I am on top of it. Quick texts are wonderful for the small stuff. Tell me you just sent the signed contract. Tell me people are loving the new section. Those make my day. Just keep the real requests, like updating the copy on your about page, in email where I will actually catch them and take good care of you.
Your project gets a start time and a finish time.
When you decide to work together, the first thing I do is put you on my calendar. I build in fast, focused sprints, and that reserved time is what makes both the speed and the quality possible. It also does two good things for you. You know exactly when your work is happening, so you can keep that window open for any quick questions that come up. And you know exactly when it will be done, so you can plan around it with confidence. Schedule the email blast. Book the client meeting. Tell people the new site is coming. It will be ready.
A full craft table makes for a better build.
A focused sprint only works when I have everything I need before it begins. That means your content, your links, your images, and any sign-in credentials in my hands ahead of time. When those pieces are ready, I spend your time building. When they are not, I spend your time tracking down what is missing, and that is your purchased time going to reminders instead of results. I also simply do better work with the full picture in front of me. The more I have to work with from the start, the more your finished project will sound and look like you.
Plenty of room to refine, with edges that hold.
Every project gets a specific window for revisions. That structure is not about limiting you. It is about protecting the focus your project deserves, and the next client's too. Inside that window, refine away. If you already know you want room for a lot of back and forth, that is completely welcome. I will just build it into a proposal for you to approve before we begin, so the scope is clear and nothing comes as a surprise to either of us.
Momentum is what carries the work.
I do my best work with people who are ready to make decisions. So much of what makes a sprint work is momentum, and momentum comes from choices getting made. If you are the kind of person who repaints a wall three times because the color was not quite right, we might not be the right fit, and that is okay. Or, if you love to refine, we can plan for more than one sprint together so there is room to keep shaping it until it feels right. Either way, I would rather know who you are up front, so I can set us both up for work we are proud of.
If you read all of this and found yourself nodding, we are going to work well together. None of it is precious. It is just what I have learned actually makes the work great and the whole experience easy. When you are ready, let's get you on the calendar.
