How the free website draft works

Most studios ask you to approve a quote before you see anything. We reverse it. You send a short brief, and within 6–12 hours you get a free working draft of your homepage at a real link, designed and built around your business, not poured into a template.

Open it on your phone. Send it to a colleague. If it is right, we scope the rest and build it. If it is not, you keep the draft and owe nothing. You can see what a finished build looks like in our web design portfolio, and the starting prices are on the services page.

The free draft: common questions

Is the website draft really free?

Yes. It is a real, working draft at a live link, not a mockup. If you like it, we build the rest. If you do not, you keep the draft and owe nothing, and there is no contract to see it.

What should I put in the brief?

What your business does, who your customers are, what you want visitors to do, and a few websites you like or dislike. Logos and content help, but you do not need them to get a first draft.

How long does the free draft take?

6 to 12 hours from the moment we agree the brief. A brief sent in the evening usually has a working link by morning.

What happens after I send the brief?

You get an email confirmation straight away. We read the brief, ask if anything is unclear, and send you the draft. If you like it, we agree the scope and price and build the rest. Payment is 50% to begin and 50% at launch.

How much will the full website cost?

Landing pages start from $200, small business websites from $600, web development from $1,000 and apps from $2,000. We agree the exact price with you after you have seen the draft.
