Two ways to say yes, two ways to pay
Reserve your start week online or just by telling us. Either way, your week is held as soon as your payment arrives.
Fill in the claim form
- Pick your start week on our website.
- Within 1 business day, we reply personally to confirm your week.
- Your invoice comes with that reply.
Or just tell us
- Say yes on a call or in person, and choose your week.
- We reserve it for you and send your invoice the same day.
- Your week shows as reserved while your payment is on its way.
What reserves your week
By US bank transfer, using the details on your invoice. As soon as your payment arrives, your week is held and your Clients Portal invite is on its way. Everything you’ve paid is refundable until your kickoff call.
From “I’m in” to day 1
Everything we need for your build is due by the Thursday before your week, so day 1 can start on Monday. Your 7 days start once onboarding is complete, so anything that arrives late moves the whole build.
Day 1 to day 7
You spend about an hour in total; we do the rest. The highlighted days are the ones that need you.
A few things that keep your week on time (agreement terms 4 and 7)
You reply to anything we send within about one business day.
Days spent waiting on your reply don’t count toward the 7 days.
Day-6 notes we can’t finish by day 7 carry into your first revision round, on your live site.
If your website isn’t live by day 7 for reasons on our side, you get a full refund.
The first 30 days
You get 4 revision rounds within 30 days, made on your live website (term 5). For your week, that window runs —.
- Round 1, with a strategy session. A short call to talk through what you want your website to do for you, or send your notes in writing. Any day-6 notes go here too.
- Rounds 2 to 4. We suggest about a week per round, with all your notes sent together from your portal as a revision round, so they don’t use your monthly edits.
- How a round ends. We make the changes, show you a preview, and publish once you approve.
- Refunds end when round 1 is complete. Until then you can cancel for a full refund; after that, the work counts as delivered (term 9).
- When rounds run out. After 4 rounds or 30 days, whichever comes first, changes use your monthly edits: 10 a month in year one. Unused rounds don’t carry over.
