Our Process
A Simple Process. A Website Built to Last.
You don't need to be technical, write code, or free up weeks of your schedule. We handle everything — you just give us your input at the right moments and we deliver a website your business can depend on.
How It Works
Six Steps from First Call to Live Website.
Every STH Consulting project follows the same proven sequence. Here's exactly what happens at each stage — and what we'll need from you.
01
Request Your Free Audit
Tell us a little about your business and current website. We’ll review your online presence, identify the biggest opportunities, and reach out to discuss what we find. No cost and no obligation.
Fill out our short audit form. It only takes a couple of minutes.
02
Plan & Approval
We confirm exactly what your website needs, what’s included, and the timeline for getting it live. Everything is clear upfront so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Review the plan, approve the project, and send us anything we need to get started.
03
Design
We design your new website around your trade, market, services, and brand. You'll receive a private preview so you can see the direction, review the layout and messaging, and give feedback before launch.
Your role: Review the preview and give us your feedback in one focused round.
04
Build & Review
We build the full site, write copy, optimize for mobile, and set up all contact forms and calls to action. You get a private preview link to review everything before launch.
Your role: Test the preview, flag any changes, approve the final version.
05
Launch
We handle the technical side — domain, hosting, redirects, speed checks, and going live. Your new site is published and ready to take calls.
Your role: Announce it to your customers. We'll handle the rest.
06
Ongoing Management & Growth
After launch we stay on as your web partner — managing updates, performance, security, and continuous improvements so your site keeps working for your business.
Your role: Tell us when things change in your business and we'll keep the site current.
Timeline Expectations
How Long Does It Take?
Every project is different, but here's what a typical engagement looks like from first call to live website. We set honest expectations upfront so you can plan your business around it — not the other way around.
| Phase | Typical Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery & Audit | 2–3 days | Happens right after your intake call; no waiting. |
| Strategy & Proposal | 3–5 business days | We deliver a written proposal you can review at your pace. |
| Design | 5–7 business days | One focused feedback round keeps this moving quickly. |
| Build & Review | 7–10 business days | Includes copywriting, mobile optimization, and your review window. |
| Launch | 1–2 business days | We handle all technical setup — you just approve the go-live. |
| Total (Typical Project) | 3–5 weeks | From first call to live website for most new site builds. |
Timelines depend on project scope and how quickly feedback rounds are completed. Larger sites or complex integrations may take longer. We'll give you a specific estimate in your proposal.
Thank you! We've received your request and will have your free audit ready within 1–2 business days.
