How We Built Our Own Agency Website — And What It Does For Our Clients

How We Built Our Own Agency Website — And What It Does For Our Clients

The Problem With "Contact Us for a Quote"

Most web design agencies keep their prices hidden. You fill in a contact form, wait a few days, jump on a phone call, and then wait again for a proposal to arrive by email. By that point, many people have already given up and moved on.

We have been on the other side of that as clients ourselves. It is frustrating. So when we built our own website, we decided to do things differently.

See Your Price Before You Commit

The Project Planner on our website lets you put together your own package in a few clicks. Choose a website type, add hosting, pick a support plan, and tick any extras you need. As you go, you will see a live running total — including how much the deposit is, what the monthly costs are, and what you owe at the end. No hidden fees, no waiting.

You can save and share your plan at any point with a link, so nothing gets lost if you want to come back later or show someone else.

Paying is Simple and Secure

When you are ready, you can pay your deposit straight from the website using a card. Everything is handled securely, and once your payment goes through, your project is automatically set up and we get a notification to get in touch and arrange the first chat.

Your Private Client Dashboard

Once you are a client, you get access to a private login area on our website. From there, you can see exactly where your project is up to, what is happening next, and view all your invoices and receipts in one place. No more chasing emails to find out what stage your website is at.

Final Invoice — All Handled Automatically

When your website is finished and signed off, the final invoice is sent automatically to your email with a simple payment link. Once paid, everything is marked as complete. No awkward chasing, no paper invoices.

Why We Did It This Way

We built our website the way we wish more agencies operated — open about pricing, easy to navigate, and respectful of your time. Whether you are a cafe owner, a tradesperson, or a small retailer, you should be able to understand exactly what you are buying and what it will cost. Our website makes that possible.
