4-Weeks to a Website

Hot to Get Started with 4 Weeks to a Website

Or as I affectionately call it, 4WTAW. Pronounced, “Four Double-Yew Taw”…

…Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it?

Step 1

To start working together, the first thing we do is book a strategy session to discuss your website needs, business goals, and design inspiration.

Step 2

The next thing we do is nail down your content.

“Content Week” lasts just 2 days + a weekend. So it’s not a week. But I like to call it that nonetheless. Sue me.

It’s a sprint in the first week of your project’s start date where we get crystal clear on the messages and words that will go on your website.

The 2 days + a weekend gives you (or us, if you hire me to help with content) get your copy right without dragging out what, in my experience, is a needlessly long and drawn out process that makes everyone hate life.

Let’s not hate life.

Let’s get your content sorted so I can get on with your build and keep to our deadlines.

Realistically, this should take no more than 3 hours of your time in total, in most cases.

You could drag those 3 hours out across your 2 business week days + a weekend if you like. But even that is dragging out the process. OR you can sit down and grind it out all at once, which is what I recommend.

Content production can be handled one of three ways:

You write it

…means you’ll provide all your web copy (words), images, and other content (video, audio if relevant).

I help you write it

…means we take a collaborative approach to coming up with your copy, sourcing images, etc. Basically, I’ll collaborate with you to make you sound even smarter than you already. I’ll take the words you give me and spruce them up with web copy clear and simple so your message can’t be missed.

I write it for you

…means I’ll do all the heavy lifting for your content. This requires some in-depth interviewing on my part. I’ll grill you ask you a series of explorative questions to help me understand exactly what needs to be communicated on your site. Then I’ll write the copy for you, source your visual elements (images, icons, graphics, 

If you choose to hire me to help you with your content (“I help you write it” or “I write it for you”) on top of building your site, you’ll have that separate add-on service tacked onto the cost of your project.

Note: the “I help you write it” and “I write it for you” copywriting services are not reflected in the pricing information provided on this page. The pricing information on this page assumes you’ll handle the content yourself.

Step 3

With all the content in place, I’ll mockup a homepage for your website. Once you approve that page’s design, I’ll use the agreed-upon design as inspiration to help me build out your site’s remaining pages.

Step 4

I’ll build each page of your site and get your sign-off on each one to be sure you’re satisfied with the design and layout. There is a maximum of 2 revisions for each page. Any requested revisions beyond that cost extra.

Step 5

The final step is to launch the site. Your new website will be LIVE on the web, ready for your visitors to find you and do business with you.

The money you invest in your website project will start coming back to you. Most of my clients make their money back on their website investment within 1-3 months (depending on the cost of the goods or services they sell).

And who doesn’t love a good ROI?

You’re Really Going to Like Working With Me

All of ^this… *gestures toward the preceding paragraphs*

…happens in just 4-weeks. And sometimes usually less.

Who am I? And why should you care?

I’m Jon Phillips.

…all-time, albeit uncontested, Employee of the Month at Matchless Web.

Fun Fact: Since I was a kid I’ve struggled to keep my eyes open in pictures. I don’t even fight it anymore. I just embrace it by using ^that picture everywhere, lol.

I’m a WordPress web designer and site speed specialist. And I’ve got a knack for making great websites that are optimized for on-page SEO, fast load times, and easy editing.

I’ve been working with the WordPress platform for 6-7 years now. I honestly can’t remember the exact time frame. I just know it’s definitely more than 5, but less than 10 years.

I help people build out their sales funnels using a combination of WordPress websites, email marketing, and some pretty nifty 3rd party integrations. And those people, in turn, make more money. I like it. It’s fun.

And I make money in the process. So I like that part too.

My go-to WordPress theme specialties are GeneratePress, Kadence, and Divi.

When I do website stuff for you, there’s a very good chance I’ll be using one of those three themes to do what I do.

If you 1) have an existing website built around any of those themes or 2) want your new website to use one of those themes, I’m someone you should know.

I pride myself on my communication skills.

So you’re going to love everything about our working relationship.

Do you like clear communication?

Cool. Me too.

Oh my gosh, we have so much in common already! This is meant to be isn’t it??

My web design processes are easy to follow

My web design systems and processes are smart and smooth. So it’s easy to follow along every step of the way.

You’ll always know “where I’m at” with your website project’s milestones because you’ll be looped into every part of the build that you need to know about.

You won’t go long stretches of days without hearing from me, unlike what you might have experienced with other web designers in the past.

Web designers tend to have a yucky reputation for ghosting clients when they need them most. And my professional style is the antithesis of that.

We’re trying to get your website built in four weeks, people. There literally isn’t time for us to not be in communication with one another.

I’m a big fan of videos and screen share updates. You can expect to get short video demonstrations of the progress I’m making so you’re never in the dark about the status of your project.

I promise to make the website-building journey we go on together so fun and engaging you’ll wonder why you didn’t hire me sooner. You might even be thinking that right now.

It’s okay. You didn’t know me before now.

You’re not a bad person. I forgive you.

But enough about that. You’ve scrolled this far for web design pricing info, haven’t you?
