Our web development process, step by step

1. Discovery call

We start with a conversation about your business, not a sales pitch. We ask how leads come in today, what your team does by hand, which tools you already pay for and what isn't working. If you have a current site, we look at it before the call: its pages, how it's hosted and what Google can see.

You can book the call online or send us a message, in English or Spanish.

2. Scope and written quote

Next you get a written quote. It's the reference for the whole project, so it spells things out.

If the project is large, we split it into phases so you can launch the most useful part first and add the rest later.

• The pages and features we'll build
• Integrations: payments, CRM, email, AI
• The content we need from you
• What's not included
• A schedule for your project
• Who owns the domain, the code repository and the hosting accounts

3. Build on staged previews

Your project gets its own preview address on prosperflow.dev, such as yourname.prosperflow.dev. It updates as we work, so you click through real pages and screens on your phone and computer instead of judging static mockups. Preview sites are hidden from search engines, so they don't compete with your real site.

The code lives in a Git repository from day one. For apps, we set up staff roles and permissions early so you can test what each person will see.

• A preview link that updates as we build
• Feedback by email or on a call, whichever you prefer
• Demo data in admin screens until launch
• Code in a Git repository from the first day

4. Launch

Before launch we move your content, map every old URL to its new address with a 301 redirect, add structured data, a sitemap and robots.txt, and test every form. You approve the final preview. Then we switch it on. The technical SEO work done here is what lets an existing site keep what it has already earned in search.

• Point your domain and pick one main address, redirecting www and http to it
• Turn on SSL for every hostname
• Set up email records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) so your email keeps working
• Submit the sitemap in Google Search Console
• Check that old URLs redirect in a single hop
• Send a test lead through every form

5. Hosting and care

After launch we can host the project on our own servers or maintain it where it already runs. Hosting with us covers the domain, DNS, SSL, email records and nightly off-site backups, plus updates and fixes. When you want something new, like another city page, a new admin module or a CRM connection, you ask the same people who built it.

See managed hosting and website maintenance for what it covers.

What we'll need from you

A few things keep a project moving.

• One person on your side who can make decisions
• Access to your domain registrar and current hosting, or permission to request it
• Your logo, photos and any copy you want to keep
• Feedback on each preview, in whatever detail you have
• Logins for the tools we connect, like Stripe, GoHighLevel or Google Business Profile
