How we work
This is what you can expect if you hire First Step Web Design to create your website for you...
Initial chat
We’ll start with a conversation about your business and what you’re looking for, so that we understand what you need from your website.
Look & feel
I’ll put together an example design (usually the homepage) so you can see how your site might look. We’ll then refine it until you’re happy.
Website build
Once the style is agreed, I’ll design and build the rest of your website – keeping everything simple, clear, and easy to use.
Launch
When you're happy with everything, I'll get your site live. And if you need any help afterwards, I'll be here to support you.
