We’ve reduced the complex process of building a custom website into four clear, easy-to-understand phases.
We start all of our projects off with a free consultation. It is important that we capture your voice, understand your goals, and build towards your dreams.
SQUIRE then takes our notes back and crafts a plan! We create a customized Adventure Map and Compass, which gives an outline of the whole project. We also pick monthly adventure plan recommendations based on your needs.
We then reconnect, review & approve the plan, and then sign our SOW. Which closes out the Connect phase!
Kicking off the build, we make sure that we have all of our prerequisites locked in: Signed SoW, Adventure Map, Compass, and 50% of the build cost has been received.
Then we prep the server and install everything that is needed!
We build the Homepage first. This helps set the tone and lock in the design for the rest of the website. The number of back-and-forth feedback sessions varies depending on your desire and is set in the SoW.
Once the Homepage is locked in, we tackle the Internal pages! We also add any additional custom features or power-ups at this stage. The number of back-and-forth feedback sessions varies depending on your desire and is set in the SoW.
After the Internal pages are locked in, SQUIRE does one final full site polish following our own internal checklist. This helps make sure everything is optimized, error-free, and ready to go!
Once we receive the last 50% of the build cost, we run through our detailed internal Launch checklist. Here we cover tasks like spinning up your Production server, connecting your DNS, and adjusting any system licenses if needed. This begins the go-live process!
While we are launching, we are also setting up all security systems that are included within your selected Monthly Adventure Plan. This includes tasks like creating and connecting your SSL, connecting our server-side malware scanner, and connecting our CDN!
Once your website is fully live, we do one last review, checking to make sure no links broke during launch, all license keys carried over correctly, and there are no content bugs!
It is easy to think that once the website has launched, our story is over, but the truth is far from it! The internet is always changing, causing systems to degrade over time. Plus, making your own edits can be difficult and may introduce new errors or vulnerabilities. We created our monthly adventure plans to make sure your website stays secure, up-to-date, and on track for years to come!
We have 4 levels of our monthly adventure plans, so that you can pick one that fits both your needs and your budget!
After the build, your first month is included for free, but billing will begin at the start of the next month.
We encourage you to build for your needs today, and we can always add more later when it is needed! If you are looking for ideas, we can check out our Power-ups page!
All custom builds are custom quoted during the Connect phase. This allows us the flexibility to meet your unique needs. With that said, we know that this can make things a bit difficult to plan for, so we have created some helpful pricing guidelines here.
Let’s craft our digital adventure together!
