Building a website is a bit like building a house. You plan it, you lay the foundation, you put up the walls, you put on the roof, and then the owner moves in and makes it their own. Here's how that works at PackWeb.
Plan
We start with a short conversation. What does the business do? Who's the website for? What does it need to do, sell things, take bookings, capture leads, just exist as a brochure? What sites do you like the look of, and what irritates you?
From that conversation we draw up a written plan. It's a short document, not a 40-page proposal. It lists every page, every form, every feature, and a fixed price. If something is going to cost extra, that's in writing before you sign anything.
Foundation
Once the plan is approved, we set up the foundations: a hosting environment, the domain name, the email addresses, the content management system and the security baseline. By the time you see the first page, the boring infrastructure work is done.
Build
We build the site to the plan. You see progress as we go via staging links you can share with your team. No "tah-dah!" reveal at the end. If you want to tweak something during the build, that's fine. If you want to add something that wasn't in the plan, we'll quote it separately so you're never surprised by an extra line on the invoice.
Launch
When the site is ready, we walk you through how to use it. Updating content. Adding pages. Swapping images. We don't make you pay us every time you want to change a sentence. That's what the content editor is for. If you ever want our hands on it, we're a phone call away.
After launch
You move in. We stay across the boring stuff in the background: backups, security patches, the renewal of your domain and email accounts. If something breaks, we fix it. If something needs adding, we quote it.
What's the price?
Pricing depends on scope, but most of our small-business websites land in a predictable bracket. We quote a fixed price up front based on the plan we wrote together. No hourly meters. No "we'll see how it goes". The first 12 months of hosting are bundled into that price, so the only annual bill after launch is for the next year of hosting.
