Our Process
What to Expect When You Work With Solid Ground
You’ll always know what’s next — no tech overwhelm, no mystery pricing, and no “one-size-fits-all” templates.
Ready to scope a project?
Start with a Free ConsultInitial Consultation & Scope
We start with a short conversation about your goals, audience, and how involved you want to be. I’ll help you choose between a one-pager, full site, or managed plan — and translate it into a simple project scope with a clear quote.
Design → Review → Launch
Once you’re ready, I’ll start the build. You’ll get early previews and a chance to revise, plus guidance on copy or media if needed. I handle the tech (hosting, DNS, plugins), and we’ll launch when it’s solid and polished.
Ongoing Support — Optional, Simple
Need help post-launch? Choose from care plans with hosting included — or stay unmanaged and pay only when needed. Either way, you’ll always have a backup and someone to call if things go sideways.
Custom Websites, Built for Real Businesses & Organizations
Each of these sites started with a conversation — and turned into something solid, useful, and designed to last.
A custom site for a local bronze sculptor, built to showcase work, support online sales, and grow alongside his portfolio and studio.
A simple, mobile-friendly site built to support a growing local retail business — focused on clarity, visibility, and search-friendly content.
