Welcome to Your Website Journey with 8digit

Premium plan, you’re in for a smooth, exciting ride. Building a website can feel like a big step—maybe even a little daunting—but don’t worry, we’ve got your back every step of the way. This guide is your friendly roadmap, breaking down exactly how we’ll turn your vision into a stunning website, from the first hello to the big launch day. Think of us as your creative partners, handling the techy stuff so you can focus on what you do best: running your business. Let’s dive in and see what’s ahead!
Our Onboarding Adventure: Four Fun Phases
Picture this: creating your website is like planning a little party—it’s all about preparation, creativity, and that big reveal moment. We’ve broken it into four clear phases to keep things stress-free and exciting. We’ll handle the heavy lifting, and you’ll get to add your sparkle along the way. Here’s how it works, with timelines that flex based on how quickly we team up (and how busy our workshop is—more on that later!).
1. Discovery & Strategy (Within 48 Hours)
We kick things off by getting to know you and your business dreams.
- What We Do: We’ll reach out within 48 hours of your sign-up to say hi and chat about your goals. Already have a domain? We’ll help transfer it to us or connect it to your new site—your choice!
- Your Part: Share your branding (logo, colors), text, and images. Don’t have everything yet? No sweat—we’ll guide Essential and Standard users a bit, and for Business and Premium, we’ll even write the content for you!
- The Goal: We’ll pick a template that fits your vibe and lock it in once you’re happy. This is key—changes later depend on your plan, so take a good look!
- Time: 2-5 days, depending on how fast you send us your goodies (we’ll pause if we’re waiting on you).
2. Design & Prototyping (1-2 Weeks)
Now the magic starts—we sketch out your site!
- What We Do: We’ll customize your chosen template with your style, showing you a preview on a temporary domain. Essential gets 1 page, Standard 3 pages, Business 7 pages with a blog, and Premium 12 pages with e-commerce and blog setup.
- Your Part: Check it out and dream big—this is your first peek!
- Customization Limits: Essential and Standard stick to content swaps, colors, fonts, resizing, or tweaking existing sections—no new features or unlimited sections here. Business and Premium have more wiggle room for layout shifts and extras.
- Time: 1-2 weeks, depending on our current workload and your plan’s complexity.
3. Development & Content (1-2 Weeks)
Here’s where it all comes together—your site takes shape!
- What We Do: We build it out with hosting, your .lu domain (or your existing one), mobile-friendly design, and SEO (basic for Essential/Standard, advanced for Business/Premium). Add-ons like extra pages or features get plugged in here too.
- Your Part: Review the full site and send us your revision list—all changes at once, please! Essential/Standard get 1 round, Business 2 rounds, Premium 3 rounds.
- Revisions Explained: Each round happens after this phase—one shot per round to tweak text, images, colors, or layout within the template. Essential/Standard focus on content and style; Business/Premium can push further. Big changes (new pages, custom features) cost extra at €99/hour—we’ll quote you first. The more you ask for, the pricier it might get, so we’ll perfect that template choice early to keep you thrilled and on budget!
- Time: 1-2 weeks, pausing if we’re waiting for your feedback.
4. Launch & Training (When You’re Ready)
The grand finale—your site goes live!
- What We Do: Once you’re happy, we’ll launch it with your domain and give you the keys: CMS access with no editor seat for Essential (tutorials only), 1 seat for Standard, 3 seats for Business, and 5 seats for Premium. We’ll train you via video or call—Essential/Standard get tutorials, while Business/Premium get hands-on help. Premium also scores 2 monthly blog posts from us!
- Your Part: Say “go” when you’re ready—no rush, take up to 3 months max to launch.
- Time: 1-2 days once you greenlight it, though our busy schedule might stretch this a tad.

Timing Tidbits
Our pace depends on how busy we are and how fast you reply. We aim for 4-8 weeks total, but it might stretch if we’re swamped or waiting on you. You can delay launch up to 3 months—no pressure, just let us know!
