Your first week

What happens after you say yes.

No mystery. Here is how the first week usually runs, day by day. Rebuilds can take longer depending on how much of the old site we keep.

  1. Day 1

    You say yes

    We confirm the package and the quote, and the 50% deposit starts the build. You get the build checklist.

  2. Day 1–2

    Access, no passwords needed

    You invite porchlightdesk@gmail.com as a manager where it helps.

    • Google Business Profile: Managers > Add
    • Search Console / Analytics, if you have them
    • Facebook Page access
    • Domain registrar: GoDaddy Delegate Access or Namecheap Share Access
  3. Day 2–3

    Discovery

    A short text, email or video chat: your services, the towns you work, who your best customers are and what the old site gets wrong. I review your Google profile and any current site.

  4. Rest of the week

    I write and build

    Real copy in your voice, your photos and your logo, built mobile-first. You stay on the tools; I text or email if I need anything.

  5. About a week in

    First draft

    A standard site is typically about a week from intake to draft. You get a private link to look over on your phone.

  6. Then

    Revisions and launch

    A few days of edits. Launch sites include one revision round; rebuilds include two. Then we go live on your domain.

Timing depends on how fast the checklist items and access come in. Billing is 50% up front and 50% upon completion.
