How the Custom Website Design Service Works
Below is an overview of the full process, including goals and expectations at each stage.
Our team begins work once the service is purchased and your questionnaire is submitted.
- Complete Your Questionnaire
-
After purchasing your Custom Website Design service, you’ll receive a questionnaire that helps our team understand:
-
Your brand identity and style
-
Your business goals
-
Your ideal clients and audience
-
The features and pages you want
-
Your SEO focus areas and specialties
Your project officially begins once you submit this questionnaire.
Goal: Submit your questionnaire within 10 business days.
Important Notes:
-
This service requires full payment upfront. Work begins only after the service is purchased and your questionnaire is submitted.
-
Submitting your questionnaire officially starts your service. Once started, the money-back guarantee no longer applies.
-
This service includes designing and setting up up to 10 website pages (not including Store, Forms, or Blog pages).
-
- Schedule Your Consultation (Optional)
-
After submitting your questionnaire, you’ll receive both an on-screen link and an emailed link to schedule an optional consultation with your Pro Services Account Manager.
This call gives you the opportunity to talk through your vision, clarify your goals, and ensure our team is aligned before design begins.
Goal: Meet within 5 business days of submitting your questionnaire.
If you misplace the link, you can also book your consultation anytime at design.photobiz.com.
- Meet With Your Account Manager (Optional)
-
This optional 30-minute Zoom call allows you to review your goals, clarify your design direction, and understand next steps in your project.
Goal: A 30-minute conversation.
- Gather & Submit Your Content
-
Your Pro Services Account Manager will create clipboard folders inside your account (based on the pages listed in your questionnaire) for you to upload your content. If you prefer, you may provide your content via Dropbox, WeTransfer, or another file-sharing tool.
Please provide:
-
Images, organized by page
-
Logo files
-
Any written text you want included (optional — our team can write copy for you)
Copywriting Included
If you prefer, our team can write or refine the text for your website based on your questionnaire, branding, and goals. You can supply rough notes or let us create polished, SEO-friendly content for you.
Goal: Submit all content within 10 business days of your consultation.
-
- Receive Your Initial Site Design (3 Core Pages)
-
Once we have all of your content, our designers will create the first draft of your site’s look and feel — usually your Home Page + 2 additional pages.
This initial mockup ensures the design direction matches your vision before we build the remaining pages.
Goal: Delivered within 7 business days of receiving your content.
Note: Your site will be custom-designed within the PhotoBiz template platform. Our designers craft a unique and personalized look while working within the framework of the system.
- Review Your Initial Design (First Revision)

Reply by email with a detailed list of your edits. Screenshots with notes are always helpful!
Goal: Provide feedback within 5 business days.
- Receive Your Updated Site (Second & Third Revisions)

Our designers will apply your edits and update your site. Depending on your feedback and goals, all remaining pages may be designed in the second round, or we may refine your home page further before completing the rest of the build.
Goal: Each revision delivered within 7 business days.
- Receive Your Final Design

After all revisions are complete, our team will:
-
Apply your final edits

Ensure your design is mobile-friendly
