What happens after you reach out
The full sequence, in order: what you send, when you hear back, what the first meeting covers, and what you receive at each stage.
30-minute consultation · no charge
The inquiry
You fill in the contact form or call the Philadelphia office at +1 215 583 7649. The form asks for your name, email, company, and a short description of what you are trying to fix. That is it.
We do not ask for a budget range on the first screen, because the honest figure often depends on what we find. If you would rather write three paragraphs in the message field than fill in fields, that works just as well. The more concrete you are about the situation, the more useful the first call becomes.
What the form asks
- Your name
- Your email
- Your company
- A short description of the problem
Also welcome
Long written context, links to the current site, and any numbers you are comfortable sharing. None of it is required to start.
When you hear back
We reply within one business day. If your inquiry arrives on a weekend or a U.S. holiday, the reply comes on the next business day.
Two or three proposed times, and a short note on what would help us prepare.
Scheduling is handled in that same message, so nothing sits waiting in a second thread.
Bring whatever you have:
- Your current site URL
- Your top two sources of leads
- Any conversion or traffic numbers you are comfortable sharing
If you do not have analytics set up, that is useful information too, and it changes the recommendation.
Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
Messages sent outside those hours are read on the next business morning. We do not have an after-hours line.
Thirty minutes, no charge, three questions.
What is the goal, what is blocking it, and what has already been tried. The third question saves the most time, because most clients have attempted a fix that either failed or was never finished.
No pitch
We do not run a pitch. If a smaller, cheaper intervention would solve the problem, we say so on the call. If we are not the right firm, we say that too, and we point you toward the type of provider who is.
Who you speak with
The person who would run the work, not a separate sales team. That keeps the details from degrading between the call and the project.
What lands in writing before work starts
If there is a fit, you receive a written scope within a few business days of the call. Fee is quoted for the engagement, not per hour, so scope conversations happen before work starts rather than after.
You are not obligated to respond on any timeline. Some clients come back a quarter later with a clearer budget, and that is a normal way for this to go.
Named in the scope
- The deliverable
- The timeline and milestones
- Who is accountable on our side
- What we need from yours
Out of scope, in writing
The proposal states what is explicitly out of scope. That section exists to protect both sides from a project that quietly doubles in size.
Discovery-heavy by design
Once the scope is signed, kickoff happens within a week. You meet the delivery lead, we agree on the communication rhythm, and we set the first milestone.
The first two weeks are usually discovery-heavy: reviewing existing material, checking what your analytics actually say, and interviewing whoever knows the customer best. It is the stage where assumptions get tested, and it is normal for the plan to shift slightly once real data appears. You will always know the current milestone and what is waiting on whom.
Short cycles, reviews at the end of each
You see work in progress rather than a finished reveal three months in.
That rhythm exists because feedback late in a project is expensive and feedback early is nearly free.
Revisions within an agreed scope are included.
Changes that add pages, channels, or integrations get quoted separately before they are started, so there is no surprise on the final invoice.
Email, a shared document, or scheduled calls — your pick. We do not add a new tool unless it earns its place.
Nothing left half-checked at launch
Launch includes the unglamorous checks: forms tested end to end, thank-you and confirmation pages verified, analytics firing, redirects in place, and mobile behavior confirmed on real devices.
Access, documentation, and a walkthrough for whoever will maintain the site.
If we built on Webflow or Wix, we make sure your team can edit the content it needs to edit without calling us for every change.
If you would rather we stayed on for ongoing support, that is a separate, optional arrangement.
There is no automatic renewal and no lock-in. Engagements end when the work ends, and the handover is written so that stays true.
Check-ins at 30 and 90 days
How the work is performing against the goal we set.
We check in at 30 and 90 days. If something is not working, better to find out then than at a renewal conversation.
30 & 90 daysClients who continue usually move to a quarterly review rhythm.
What changed, what converted, and what to adjust next. The agenda stays the same so the comparison stays honest.
QuarterlyThere is no automatic renewal and no lock-in.
Engagements end when the work ends. If you leave, the access, documentation, and walkthrough stay with you.
No lock-inThe short version: you send a short brief, you hear back within a business day, you get a free thirty-minute call, and you get a written scope before anything is signed. Everything below is the same process, answered in the order people usually ask.
Answers before you book
A longer set of questions lives on the FAQ page, including what happens if the scope turns out to be wrong.
Read the FAQDo I have to know my budget before the first call?
No. The form does not ask for a range, because the honest figure often depends on what discovery turns up. Once the scope is written, the fee is quoted for the engagement rather than per hour.
What if we have no analytics at all?
That changes the recommendation rather than stopping it. Discovery in the first two weeks is where we establish what is actually measurable, and some engagements start by putting that baseline in place.
Who owns the work when the engagement ends?
You do. Handover covers access, documentation, and a walkthrough for whoever maintains the site, whether that is your team or an agency you hire later.
Can we pause between stages?
Yes. The written scope names milestones, so an engagement can stop at one and resume later. Clients sometimes come back a quarter after the proposal with a clearer budget, and nothing in the scope expires in a way that punishes that.
