How a project runs

Four steps. Skip a title in JSON and that step disappears from the page.

This is the default path. Some clients arrive with texts ready; then we start at step three.

1. Pages

We write a list: who the site is for, which pages exist, and what each one must do. That list becomes the menu.

2. Words and pictures

You send notes, photos, and examples. I draft the JSON files so you can see the site with real sentences, not lorem only.

3. Look

We pick a theme and adjust spacing, type, and the header. The content stays where it is.

4. Launch and small edits

The site goes live. You change texts and image paths yourself. I stay for a short window of fixes.
