Working together Franco Bernal Studio

Let’s build yours.

Work directly with me, from the first idea to the finished website.

A project fee agreed before we begin. Share your budget; we’ll decide what belongs in the first launch and what can wait.

What do you have in mind?

A website built around your business, with design, development and launch handled together.

Build a short brief below.

From first conversation to launch

  1. 01 / Agree

    We settle the scope, price and delivery date before work begins.

  2. 02 / Build

    You review the design and working website as they take shape.

  3. 03 / Launch

    We check it across screen sizes and go live with your approval.

Included in your project

Design. Domain. Launch.

I handle design, development, domain registration and hosting setup. No required maintenance subscription. Updates and ongoing support are optional, quoted separately.

Domain, hosting & handover

The first year of your domain is included when registration costs less than $20 CAD, subject to availability. Have a more expensive domain in mind? You can cover the additional cost, agreed before purchase. I’ll contact you before the first year ends; renewals are your responsibility from year two. Any hosting or third-party charges are agreed before work begins. If you prefer to manage everything yourself later, I can transfer the domain and hand over the website.

What I can help with

New websites and redesigns. Design and development for desktop and mobile, with the galleries, inquiry forms or booking connections your business needs. Third-party services and ongoing costs are discussed separately.

How pricing works

Every project is quoted individually. Tell me what you want to achieve and what you’re comfortable investing. We can discuss a focused first launch or a broader build, with a clear scope before work begins.
