Welcome. This help center is built for you — the business owner and your team — not for developers or tech experts. Every guide here uses plain language, step-by-step instructions, and clear explanations so you always know what's happening with your project.
If today is day one, read this page from top to bottom. It lays out the journey in the order it actually happens, and every guide in this section is linked from it.
Quick summary
Start by understanding how we work together, then read what we need from you, then hand over access to your accounts. After that, the day-to-day loop is always the same: you request work, report problems, approve what we deliver, and pay invoices. That's the whole relationship. Everything below fills in the detail.
If you only read three things
- How we work together — the map of every project from kickoff to launch.
- What we need from you — the short list of what keeps a project on track.
- How to request new work or changes — the one-page guide to getting anything done.
Your onboarding journey, in order
Understand how we work together. Every project moves through the same five stages, and you're involved at set points in each one. Read How we work together, then Understanding your project roadmap so you can always tell where you are.
See what we need from you. Projects stall for the same three reasons every time: missing content, slow decisions, and missing access. Read What we need from you early — it's a short page and it saves weeks.
Hand over access to your accounts. We can't do much until we can get into your website, hosting, and domain. Work through the Access checklist for a new project, and look anything up in the Access directory (A–Z). If you're not sure the request is safe, read Why we ask for access first.
Learn how to request work. Once the project is running, every new request goes the same way. Read How to request new work or changes, then How to submit a new request for the exact clicks in ClickUp.
Learn how to report a problem. Something broken is different from something new — it's handled faster and needs different information. Read How to report a problem with your site and check Our response times & support hours so you know when to expect a reply.
Understand approvals and sign-off. Nothing goes live without your approval, and approvals are the single biggest lever on your timeline. Read How approvals & sign-off work and How to give feedback that gets results.
Understand quotes and invoices. Finally, know how the money side works so nothing is a surprise. Read Understanding quotes & invoices, and if you're still deciding on scope, Our services & pricing.
