07Straight answers
Before we start.
Can we really be ready in five days?
Yes, for the agreed package scope. The five-day sprint starts once your content, assets and access are ready. We book feedback checkpoints in advance. Changes to scope or delayed approvals move the delivery date.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. Both packages include an editor for agreed text and images, plus handover training. Repeatable content such as projects or articles is defined in scope. New layouts and functionality require additional work.
What do I need to provide?
Your logo, brand assets, usable images, accurate business information, existing content and domain access. We provide a checklist before booking your sprint.
What costs extra?
Hosting, your domain and paid third-party subscriptions are separate. We confirm expected ongoing costs before booking. New branding, full copywriting, e-commerce, complex migrations and custom functionality require a separate quote.
What happens to my existing website?
It stays live while we build. We review the current page URLs and include redirects for the agreed pages, then switch over after approval. Larger migrations are scoped separately.
Who owns the finished website?
You do, once paid in full. Your domain, hosting and CMS accounts are set up in your name. We hand over the website files, content and access, subject to any third-party licences.
What happens after launch?
We include 30 days of fixes for defects in the agreed build. You can manage content yourself or arrange an optional care plan. New features and additional content work are quoted separately.
How does payment work?
50% books your sprint. The remaining 50% is due after final approval and before launch. All prices are in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes.
