Process & Timeline

Projects are broken into 4 major stages: 1) Research / Diagnostic + Strategic Plan (1 month). 2) Design (1-2 months). 3) Build (1-2 months). 4) Launch & Training (1/2 – 1 month).

Timing depends on how quickly your firm, and your decision makers are able to work, make decisions, answer questions, fill in missing content, photography, and marketing materials. Everything we do, we do with intention, purpose, and we do it for long-term sustainable growth.
