Keep a website project moving with clear decisions, useful feedback, agreed revisions and a documented handover.

Illustration accompanying working with a web designer: feedback, scope and handover

Agree who decides

Choose one person to collect feedback and approve the work. If several people need input, gather it before the agreed review. Contradictory instructions from different stakeholders can delay decisions and make it difficult to establish what has been approved.

Give feedback about the customer journey

Explain the problem behind a requested change. “Our main service is difficult to find” is more useful than “make this bigger”. Refer to the agreed goals, content and audience. Give the designer room to propose a solution, then check whether it addresses the issue.

Keep revisions and new scope separate

A refinement to an agreed design is different from adding an online store or rewriting every page. Use the proposal to establish included review rounds and how extra work is quoted. Record decisions so everyone knows which version is approved.

Prepare content and access safely

Provide approved copy and images by the agreed milestones. Confirm ownership and usage permissions. Give access through suitable collaborator roles where possible; do not put passwords in a public document or initial contact form. Identify the person responsible for domain, email and platform administration.

Finish with a usable handover

Ask how to edit routine content, which accounts you control and what support follows launch. Confirm renewal responsibilities and how future work is requested. TW Web Design agrees these points with clients from the brief onwards, with consultations and business visits by appointment.

Clear steps. Agreed deliverables.

From first conversation to a website you can use.

Work directly with Roland Daniells in Reigate. We agree the work, responsibilities, costs and launch plan before development starts, with consultations and business visits by appointment.

  1. 01 / DISCOVER

    Understand your business

    Review your current website, customers, services, content and the enquiries you want to attract.

  2. 02 / AGREE

    Define the scope

    Your written proposal sets out pages, features, platform, content responsibilities, revisions, costs and timing.

  3. 03 / DESIGN

    Review the direction

    Shape the layout, copy and imagery around real customer questions. Review the design at agreed stages.

  4. 04 / BUILD & TEST

    Check the journey

    Build the agreed features and check navigation, links, forms and layouts on desktop, tablet and mobile.

  5. 05 / LAUNCH

    Hand over clearly

    Check the published site, agree the editing handover and confirm any ongoing maintenance separately.

The platform follows the brief.

Wix suits businesses that want visual editing and managed website tools. WordPress supports a flexible content-led website, with hosting, plugins and maintenance agreed around the setup.

Custom development can support business-specific workflows, databases and integrations. We assess API access, licensing and ongoing responsibilities before recommending a solution.

SEO work you can account for.

An SEO proposal identifies the pages to review and the deliverables that apply to your project:

  • Page titles, descriptions, headings and relevant service content.
  • Internal links, indexing checks and sitemap review.
  • Accurate local business information and enquiry routes.
  • A baseline, an agreed reporting schedule and a record of changes.

Ongoing SEO is scoped separately from a website build. Explore local SEO.

Measure the useful changes.

Where data is available, compare Search Console impressions, clicks and relevant queries over stated periods. Review enquiries alongside search traffic, rather than treating rankings as the only result.

For performance work, record the tested page, device, date and tool, then compare before and after. Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed tests can identify improvements; a lab score is not the same as real visitor performance.

Targets, access requirements and reporting frequency are agreed in the proposal. No ranking, traffic increase or perfect performance score is guaranteed.

Content and care after launch.

Agree who supplies copy, photographs, legal text and product information, and what editing handover is needed. Original photography and copywriting can be scoped alongside the website.

Confirm hosting, domains, subscriptions, renewals and ongoing support before you commit. Explore website maintenance or business photography.

Real projects. Considered solutions.

Built around
the business.

From original photography to a custom database, the right website starts with understanding what a business needs.

Know what you are comparing

A starting price. A clearly agreed scope.

The cards above describe three starting points. Your written proposal confirms exactly what is included, which optional features you have chosen and the total cost before work starts.

Package
Starting price
Published features
Starter
From £499
Core business presence: headline, enquiry button, optimised images, navigation, opt-in offer, testimonials, About, Contact and FAQ content.
Medium
From £699
Starter features plus a portfolio, blog and social media setup, with training and support defined in the proposal.
Max
From £999
Bespoke scope. Optional features can include an online store, galleries, newsletter signup, social feeds, portfolios, a blog or event bookings. The selected features and their costs are confirmed in the proposal.

Pages, revisions and timing

Page count, content volume, revision rounds, milestones and target launch date are confirmed in your written proposal. The starting price does not mean unlimited pages or revisions.

Copy and photography

The proposal states which content you supply and whether copywriting, editing or original photography is included. These services are available to scope alongside the website.

Fees, VAT and support

Hosting, domains, platform subscriptions, paid tools, payment-provider fees and ongoing support are identified where applicable. Your proposal confirms recurring costs, VAT treatment and the total payable; do not assume these are included in the starting price.

New features, additional pages and work outside the agreed brief are discussed and quoted before proceeding. Ask for a proposal if you need a complete price for your project.
