Budget for life after launch
Hosting, maintenance, licenses, and later changes belong in the project discussion. The business should know who maintains the site and what ongoing responsibilities remain after the design is approved. Document what was tested and what the team learned.
Provide access, documentation, renewal details, and editing instructions. Name the team responsible for updates and future work. Assign one person to approve the final work.
Make the plan fit your market
For customers in Chicago, show accurate service coverage, contact options, appointment requirements, and any real pickup or delivery details. Test the journey on a phone, where a visitor may need an answer or a call rather than a long introduction. Base local references on service coverage and customer needs, not invented examples.
Budget for image size, fonts, scripts, and third-party tools. Measure representative pages before adding features that affect loading or interaction. Agree how sensitive material will be shared and stored.
