From rough idea to clear first version

Why this format works

You build it. Mike makes it possible.

Building a website from scratch means learning new tools, figuring out how everything fits together, and getting from a rough idea to a strong first version.

In these sessions, Mike handles most of the technical setup and first-pass build. Then the final version is refined together while you learn how the site works and how to keep improving it.
