What a live build looks like
A live build is not a mockup. WehFiGo needed events, membership, and a path into WhatsApp on a real deadline. Orchid Gold needed an interiors site that still felt premium on a phone. PNTCOG needed a ministry site leadership could publish with.
I start with the intro call, then wireframes, then 3 to 5 design directions and two revision passes. Custom development comes after the direction is chosen, then the site is deployed.
If a simpler build fits, I say so. If the budget cannot support the outcome, I say that on the intro call. I do not cut the fundamentals to force a yes.
