§ III · Process
Five weeks.
Four approval gates.
The Salvorias build is structured around four milestones. Each one ends with your written approval before the next begins — so nothing surprises you, and nothing gets built on top of a misunderstanding.
Brief & assets
Day 0–2You share branding, logos, copy direction, and three reference sites you'd like the design to feel adjacent to. We respond with timeline confirmation, the first design questions, and the build calendar.
Yours
- ·Brand assets
- ·3 reference URLs
- ·Page count + intent
Ours
- ·Timeline confirmation
- ·Build calendar locked
- ·Initial questions
Structure draft
Week 1We sketch the architecture: page list, navigation, key conversion paths. No pixels yet — just structure. You approve the IA before any design work begins. This catches misalignment cheaply, before a single mockup lands.
Yours
- ·Approval on IA
- ·Sign-off on page count
Ours
- ·Sitemap draft
- ·Navigation model
- ·Conversion path map
Design & build
Week 2–4Custom design, content placement, performance tuning, mobile review. Two design rounds included — most projects only need one. You see weekly progress in a staging environment with a real URL, real images, and real interaction.
Yours
- ·Round 1 feedback
- ·Round 2 feedback (if needed)
- ·Final asset deliveries
Ours
- ·Visual design
- ·Build + content
- ·Performance tuning
- ·Staging URL access
Approval & launch
Week 4–5Final QA, DNS migration, redirects from your old URL structure. SAV transfers same-day on approval, and the site goes live the next morning. Then a fourteen-day post-launch watch starts.

§ A · Cadence
One channel.
Weekly written update.
Async
All communication runs through one shared inbox or your preferred messenger — your choice. Decisions get written down and confirmed back. No status meetings. No standups you didn't ask for.
Weekly
Every Friday during the build, you receive one written update: what shipped this week, what's next, what's blocked, what we need from you. Three minutes to read, calibrated to inform — not perform.
