A website is the argument your business makes in public. We design the structure, the words and the pace before a single component is styled, then build it fast and accessible, for a price fixed before we start. Most sites launch in two to six weeks.
This is Studio, which takes four to six weeks. Launch fits into two or three, and Flagship takes longer because there's more to build. The order of the work is the same.
Week 1
Strategy
Workshop, research and an audit of what you have. You sign off the positioning, sitemap and content plan.
Weeks 2–3
Direction and design
Two or three creative directions. We take the one you pick into a design system and the key pages.
Weeks 3–5
Build and content
We build in live previews you can click through. Copy and CMS content go in as we go.
Week 6
Checks and launch
Accessibility, speed, SEO and device checks, redirects set up, then launch.
After launch
Support
Post-launch fixes are included, and we hand over a site your team can run.

answers in plain English
How can a design studio publish its prices?
HM
Because most of our production is predictable. AI handles the repetitive work, like research summaries, layout variations, code and testing. What's left is the thinking, and we scope that before we start. So we can publish where each package starts, and once we've scoped yours, the quote is fixed.
Will AI write our content?
HM
AI drafts it and a person rewrites it. We start from your interviews, your documents and the way you talk. If you'd rather write it yourselves, we'll structure it and edit it.
What if the scope changes?
HM
We tell you as soon as we see it, price the change before doing anything, and you decide. Small things that fit the package are on us.
Do you have startup pricing?
HM
Yes. Launch is priced for founders starting a company, and seed-stage startups get 10% off Studio and Flagship. We can also split Launch into payments when you add a Site team plan.
Which platform will you build on?
HM
Whatever suits how your team works. Usually that's a fast modern stack we host for you, or a visual CMS if your team wants to change layouts themselves. We'll recommend one in the proposal, and the accounts are always in your name.
