How a Project Runs
Every project starts with the client, not the platform. From the first call to long after launch, you’re covered.
-
Discovery and Scope
StrategyA short call with you and your client about the brand, the content and who will update the site. Then a scope outline and an estimate, so you know the number before any work starts.
-
The Build
DevelopmentUsually 4 to 8 weeks, from your team’s files, on your client’s platform. Fast, accessible and ready for search.
-
Handoff
PartnershipA walkthrough and a guide your client’s team keeps, so they can update the site without me. The code, content and accounts go to whoever we agreed.
-
After Launch
Strategy Development PartnershipMaintenance, updates and support as the site grows, hourly or on a monthly retainer with rollover hours.
Questions Agencies Ask
Do you work white-label?
Yes. I can work under your agency's name, join client calls as part of your team, or stay behind the scenes.
Can you build from our designs?
Yes. I build from your team's Figma files and flag anything that won't hold up in production before it's built. When a project needs design help, I can cover that too.
Which platforms do you build on?
Whatever your client already uses. I work in WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, HubSpot, Squarespace, Wix and more. When a project calls for a custom build, my premium option is SanityPress, built on Astro and Sanity.
What is SanityPress?
My premium CMS setup, built on Sanity. Each client gets a control center shaped around how they actually work. The things they update most come first, pages are built from a kit of flexible blocks, and the system underneath is proven across multiple builds. It costs more up front. In return, your client runs their own site, and it grows with them.
What's included in every build?
Fast load times, accessibility (semantic markup, keyboard support, readable contrast), and SEO (clean metadata, structured data, sitemaps and redirects), so both search engines and AI answer engines can read the site.
What does a project cost?
It depends on the pages, the platform and how much your client will edit. The estimate comes with the scope outline, after the discovery call.
What Clients Say
We reached out to Wave Land to help us develop a custom website that couldn't be made with even the most advanced templates. Their ability to guide us toward achieving our vision with both creative and technical expertise made creating our site a breeze. We had a very unique vision for the site that wasn't something we'd seen before, and Wave Land made it look easy.
Drew, Supervoid.tv
Wave Land Web is the best branding & communication decision I made for my business. Although Born Yesterday Bakery started off with font and colors in mind, Josh really took those small elements and ran with them. I get complimented on my website regularly. People love to use it! Also, Josh is an amazing listener/sounding board. He knows how to take my mess of an idea and turn it into something beautiful, cohesive & functional. Everything a website should be. I could not recommend Wave Land Web enough.
Syd, BornYesterdayBakery.com
Josh had incredible insight through the whole process. It helps when the person who is building your site understands music and what you want to portray.
Robby, RobbyWebb.com
I loved thinking and collaborating with Josh at Wave Land. He got me excited about my website, which not only affected how I branded myself for my online presence, but also influenced some of the ideas in my own research. Our work together connected so deeply to how I understand what I do, communicate it to others, and how I fundamentally do this work daily. I can't thank Josh and Wave Land enough!
