How we work

A clear path from
brief to launch.

No mystery, no black box. Every project — WordPress, Shopify, automation or SEO — runs through the same five steps, so you always know where things stand.

Straight answers, on your terms

We only take work we can finish. Ask us anything first — no obligation

The five steps

From your first message to handover, this is exactly how an engagement runs.

01

Discovery & scope

We start with a short conversation about your goals, examples you like, and any technical constraints. We turn that into a written scope so everyone agrees on exactly what's being built.

Free · usually within 1 business day
02

Fixed quote & timeline

You receive a fixed price and a delivery schedule. No hourly billing on a moving target — approve it and we book you in. Any later change of scope is agreed in writing first.

Written quote · no obligation
03

Design & build

Senior developers build your project to spec — in hand-written code, native blocks or a page builder, whichever we agreed suits how you will run the site. Built clean either way. We share progress at agreed checkpoints so there are no end-of-project surprises.

Checkpoints you can review
04

Review & launch

We test across devices, tune performance for Core Web Vitals, and walk you through the finished work. Once you sign off, we handle the go-live and confirm everything's running clean.

05

Handover & support

You get the source code, accounts and documentation — you own everything, no lock-in. From there you can self-manage, or add a WordPress care plan and let us keep it healthy.

Care plans optional, from $159/mo

The principles behind it

The same three commitments apply to every project, whatever the scope.

Senior developers, no juniors

Your project is built and managed by senior developers throughout. We don't run a junior training pipeline at your expense.

Fixed quote, fixed timeline

Priced after a short scoping conversation. No hourly billing surprises — scope changes are agreed in writing before any extra work.

You own everything

Source code, accounts and documentation handed over on completion. No vendor lock-in and no proprietary builders to keep paying for.

What we need from you

Projects move fastest when we have these up front. Don't have them all? We'll help you sort it out.

  • A clear idea of your goals and audience
  • Examples of sites or stores you like
  • Your logo, brand colours and any assets
  • Text and images (or ask us to help produce them)
  • Access to hosting, domain and relevant accounts
  • One point of contact to approve decisions

Know the process? Let's begin.

Step one is a free scoping chat. Tell us what you're building and we'll take it from there.

Why CloudyWP

We build websites that earn their keep — fast, custom, and yours outright — then automate the work around them, so your business spends its hours on customers instead of admin.

02 — How we work

From first call to live — four steps, no surprises.

Every CloudyWP project runs the same way, whether it is a one-page site or a store with a thousand SKUs. Here is exactly what happens.

01

We map what you actually need.

A single scoping call, then a written plan: what gets built, what it costs, and when it ships. No discovery-phase invoices, no moving targets.

Typically 48 hours

02

We design and build it properly.

Custom WordPress or Shopify on clean code you own outright. Every build ships fast, passes Core Web Vitals, and is handed over documented.

2–6 weeks typical

03

We automate the busywork.

Your site talks to the tools you already run — CRM, invoicing, email, stock. The repetitive admin stops being someone's job and starts running itself.

Average 15 hrs saved weekly
