Start your site

The process

No black box Just how it's made

Here's exactly how I build your website: every step, who does it, where AI fits in and how long it all takes.

The process

Three steps from brief to live

  1. You, then Joanne

    Send the Start your site form and your content. Within a business day I check everything and confirm your scope and price. Your 50% deposit books your build.

  2. Joanne + AI

    I design your layout and direct the AI while it writes the first draft of the code. Then I refine it and test every page on every screen.

  3. You, then Joanne

    You review your site and send one list of changes. I make them, and once the final 50% is paid your site goes live and is submitted to Google.

The 5 business days start once your complete brief is in, including all content and images.

Who does what

The AI types I decide

AI is the fastest junior developer I've ever worked with. It still needs a designer.

Recent sites. The AI typed. I decided.

What the AI does

$0a month to me. Just your hosting.

The speed

Typical page builder

Custom code
