Step by step
The Website Design Process
Each project is unique, which is why pricing and timelines are not published online. The process is similar – here’s what to expect.
1
Consultation
We will meet to scope your project based on your business needs and vision.
We’ll send you a custom quote and contract for your review and signing. Pricing is dependent on your needs, but my goal is to provide you with what you need and not oversell.
2
Design + Review + Build
We will meet many times during your project to ensure the vision and functionality you desire to become a reality!
Because we are creating a custom website for your business, your input and feedback are critical. Expect to communicate via email and phone or video conference throughout the project.
3
Launch + Training
This is where things get real! We’ve created your site, tested its functionality and you are ready for the world to see it.
In the time leading up to and shortly after launch, you will receive videos to walk you through how to make minor updates to the site.
Encouraging. Knowledgeable.
Working with Hemlock Strategy + Design
At our core, we believe that every business, no matter the size, deserves the best project experience possible. We approach projects with a heart to learn about our client’s unique businesses and customers, to provide the best tools possible, and to teach our clients how to optimize their websites moving forward.
We believe a website is more than a group of nice-looking pages. A small business website is often the first stop for your prospective customers. We want your website to be found, to have a great user experience, and convert potential customers into paying customers.

Where are the prices for your website design?
We hunt for the pricing when we look at services and tools. We aren’t hiding anything from you, but have learned that each client comes with a different set of expectations and needs. We view a website as an integral part of your business moving forward and want to make sure we scope your site to fit your needs.
We’d love to have a 30-minute consultation to learn more about your business and give you a quote that is sized for the best solution based on your growth plan. We promise to not schmooze or oversell.
When will my website be ready?
The timeline is based on our standard work processes. Smaller websites can take a couple of weeks once content and photos are pulled together. Larger websites may take a couple of months, depending on the functionality and scope of the work. We work closely with our clients to outline what deliverables are needed to keep the design process moving.
We’ll chat about the timeline during your consultation – it is helpful to know the events coming for your business – opening, product launches, major vacations or other seasonal work that may require attention outside of the website project.
