Phase 0: Project Proposal & Planning

Our Process

This initial, rapid phase is designed to generate immediate traction and build momentum with a minimal online presence and strategic social media guidance.

Basic Product Gallery Page (static)
Store name, hours, and contact information
Google Maps integration
Logo or clean text header
Social/contact links
Strong call-to-action (e.g., “Call Now” or “Visit Us Today”)
Interior/product photo gallery
Embedded Instagram feed
Fully mobile-optimized + responsive
Email List Integration

Heads Up!

Client must provide all product images and content. Social media management is the client's responsibility. Ad spend or premium tools are extra.
