You pay after you see the finished site.
Not a mock-up, not a design file — a working site on a test domain, on day four of seven. Payment is step seven, the second-to-last thing that happens. If you do not want the site, you do not pay, and it stays with me.
Why the order is the guarantee
Every fear about ordering a website — paying up front, getting something else, being left alone with it — comes from one thing: money moves before the result exists. Here the result exists first. By the time payment is discussed, you have already clicked through the finished site on your phone.
What the free preview is
The site goes live on my test domain in near-final form: real pages, real text, your actual business. You look at it, send your changes, and a round of changes after the preview is part of the build.
The preview is made after you fill in the brief — the brief is the first step of production, not a form into a void. That filter is also why the preview can be free.
After day seven
The site moves to your domain, and you choose how we continue: I run it for €20 a month with the first month free, or you take the full source code and every access for a one-time payment of double the build price. Both options start from the same seven days.

Seven days, laid out.
Payment is step seven. You see the finished site on step four.
Information intake
You fill in the brief. If you have a Facebook page, a Telegram group or an old site, I'll pull what I need from there myself. This is the only step that needs your time.
Design system and structure
I decide how the site looks and what goes on which page.
Build
The site gets built.
Your preview goes live
The site opens on my test domain. Real pages, real text, working on your phone. You look at it before any money is discussed.
Your changes
You tell me what to fix. I fix it.
Basic SEO and analytics
Titles, descriptions, structure, Google Analytics, Search Console.
You pay, the site goes live
The site moves to your domain. From here it's yours.
Then it keeps running — see the two ways we can work together below.
Questions about the process.
How do you afford to build sites that might not be paid for?
The brief filters idle curiosity — a preview is only built after it is filled in, and an unpaid site stays with me. In return, every serious client starts with zero risk.
When do the 7 days start?
After I read your brief and reply — within one working day. If I have questions, I ask them first; then the seven days run as laid out above.
How many rounds of changes are included before payment?
A round of changes after the preview is part of the build. Bigger changes of scope — new pages, new features — are quoted first, like at any other point.
What do I actually see on day four?
The site on my test domain: real pages with real text, opening on your phone, in near-final form. Not a picture of a site — the site.
Fill in the brief. Get your site.
This is the first step of the build, not a contact form. Answer these and I'll start. The preview is free and there's nothing to pay until you've seen it.
