The Secret Behind Building High-Quality Websites in 2 Weeks
Building a professional, fully-functional website in two weeks might seem like a tall order, but it’s entirely possible with a standardized, proven process.
The key?
Preparation and efficiency.
Our approach is built on strong collaboration and clear communication with our clients.
By setting expectations early and ensuring all content is ready to go, we’re able to streamline the entire process from start to finish.
In this article, I’ll share insights into how we work closely with our clients to deliver brand new websites in just 14 days—without sacrificing quality.
Week 1: Laying the Foundation
The real work starts even before we begin building
Once a booking is confirmed, we immediately send over our Welcome Package.
This document outlines the entire process, key deadlines, and what to expect at each step, ensuring both sides are aligned from the start.
The secret lies in having all content—images, videos, copy, and branding—ready to go by Day 1.
When our clients come prepared, we can focus purely on the design and development, avoiding costly delays.
Here’s a high-level overview of how the first week unfolds:
Day 1: Content and Inspiration Discussion
We kick off the project by diving into our clients’ content.
We review all text, images, and videos, and discuss the vision for the site.
This includes exploring any websites that inspire our clients, helping us align on style and tone.
Day 2: Color Palette, Font Selection, and Design Layout
By Tuesday, we solidify the key visual elements—the color palette, font choices, and overall design layout.
This is where we bring our clients’ brand personalities to life and set the tone for the entire site.
Day 5: Custom Web Design and Staging Site
By Friday, we deliver a fully designed and functional website on a staging link.
Our clients can explore their site and see it come to life before the final tweaks.
Week 2: Refining and Perfecting
Unlimited Edits for One Week
Throughout Week 2, we focus on revisions. Our clients have a full week to request unlimited edits—our goal is to get these done ASAP to maintain momentum.
We recommend keeping schedules flexible this week to allow for quick responses.
Smooth Communication via Slack
To speed things up, we set up a dedicated Slack channel for fast feedback.
This real-time communication helps us address client needs without delays.
SEO, Mobile Responsiveness, and Settings
In the background, we optimize the site for search engines, ensure it’s fully mobile-responsive, and fine-tune all accessibility settings.
Lesson & Launch Day
At the end of Week 2, we host a screen-share session to walk our clients through their new site, with a recorded session for future reference.
We cover everything from connecting the domain to syncing social media accounts and managing the CMS, ensuring our clients feel confident running the site moving forward.
But we don’t leave our clients stranded.
Any questions that can be answered via email are on the house.
For more complex maintenance tasks, we offer an ongoing retainer service, so clients can rest easy knowing support is always within reach.
