rFair questions.
How long does a site take?
It depends on the project. A small site with clear content moves quickly. A larger one with photography, copywriting, or custom motion takes longer. I do not put a timeline on work I have not scoped yet, because a number given that early is a guess. Once we walk through what you need, you get a real timeline with dates, and I hold to it.
What does it cost?
Every project is priced individually. Cost tracks scope: how many pages, whether copy and photography already exist, and how much custom design and motion the work calls for. Once I understand what you need, you get a fixed quote with the scope written down, so the number does not move partway through the build. Orlume is early, and the first projects are priced as founding work in exchange for a real case study. The Founding Clients page has the details.
What do you need from me?
About an hour for discovery, someone who can make decisions, and your content: words, images, and anything the site must connect to. Placeholder content can carry us until yours is ready.
What platforms do you use?
Whatever serves the project: hand-built static sites where speed matters most, and established platforms where you need to edit content yourself. You're never locked to something you can't leave.
Who actually does the work?
One person, start to finish. Design and build come from the same hands, which is most of why the process is short.
What happens after launch?
A month of small fixes is included, then you own the site outright. Ongoing help is available, but never required.
