How we work

A clear process.
No surprises.

Every engagement follows the same three stages, so you always know what is happening, what we need from you, and what comes next.

Discovery & Scope

A free 30-minute call about your goals, then a short discovery to define what’s needed. You get a written proposal with scope, timeline and price before you commit to anything.

Design & Build

We design first, agree the direction with you, then build in milestones. You review working progress, not just status updates.

Launch & Handover

We test thoroughly, launch carefully and stay on hand for 30 days after launch. Then you run it yourself, or we look after it on a monthly retainer.

FAQs

Questions about websites

Do you use templates or page builders?

No. Every website is designed from scratch for the brand and built in code, which makes it faster and more distinctive than a template. For online stores we build on Shopify, so you get its payments, inventory and checkout with a design that’s entirely yours.

Should my website be custom-built, WordPress, Webflow or Shopify?

It depends on the job. If you sell products, Shopify is usually right, and our Magnolia Blooms store runs on it. For a service business that wants a fast, distinctive site that wins enquiries, we design and build it custom. We recommend the platform in the consultation and explain why.

How long does it take to build a website?

Fast. When you send your content and details up front and stay responsive, we deliver a fully built website, with its domain set up, in around 48 hours. Larger sites, online stores and complex integrations take longer and are scheduled in your proposal.

Who owns the website, domain and hosting?

You do, outright. On payment you receive full rights to the website, including its design and code, and the domain and hosting are yours. If we manage them for you on a retainer, ownership doesn’t change.

Will we be able to update the website ourselves?

Yes. We agree what your team needs to edit and set up content management that lets you update pages, services and images safely, without touching code.

Do you write the content?

Yes. We write the initial copy for your website, based on what we learn about your business and your buyers. On a retainer we also keep optimising it over time.

Will a redesign hurt our Google rankings?

Not if it’s done properly. We map every existing page to its new address with permanent redirects, keep the content that already ranks and check indexing after launch. A brief dip while Google re-crawls is normal; a lasting drop usually means broken redirects, which is exactly what we prevent.

Is SEO included, and will the site show up in Google and AI assistants?

Every site we build is search-ready: fast pages, clean structure, metadata, structured data and a sitemap, so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT can understand and recommend it. Ongoing SEO campaigns aren’t a standard service, though we can discuss them for the right project.

Can you redesign our existing website?

Yes. We review your current content, performance and what already works, then agree what to keep, improve and replace.

Can you build an online store?

Yes, on Shopify. Magnolia Blooms, a boutique florist in Bendigo, sells fresh and preserved flowers and gifts online through a storefront we designed and built, with weddings and workshops given their own place.
