Open a job ticket.

Every good build starts with a proper work order. Ten minutes here saves ten emails later — answer what you can, skip what you can't, and I'll proof the brief with you before a single pixel is set.

TICKET #——

First — who's this for?

The basics, so I know who I'm building with and how to reach you.

Required — I need a name for the ticket.

A valid email is required — it's where your proof goes.

How did you find me? · optional

What are we setting?

Pick every fit — check more than one and the ticket asks the right follow-ups for each.

Project type *

Pick at least one — it steers the rest of the ticket.

What are we running?

Pick every fit — check more than one and the ticket asks the right follow-ups for each. Sizes, stock, and finish can all be “not sure”; that is what I am for.

Kind of print work *

Pick at least one — it steers the rest of the ticket.

Artwork · the question that decides the timeline

No wrong answer here — “not sure” is the most common one. Getting files press-ready is the part I do.

Dates
Proof before the run

What should it accomplish?

A site is a tool. Tell me what the tool is for and who's holding it.

Primary goals — check all that apply

Set the tone.

Brand assets and adjectives. If you're starting from zero, that's a valid answer.

What do you already have?
The site should feel… — pick up to four
Brand files · optional — logo, colors, inspiration
No files yet · 8 MB total max

Words, pictures, and parts.

Content readiness decides timelines more than anything else — be honest here.

The words — copy & text
The pictures — photos & media
Features — check anything you know you want

508 / ADA note: accessibility is my specialty — every build ships accessible by default. Check it only if you need documented compliance.

House keeping

Money and the clock.

Honest ranges make honest proposals. Nothing here is binding — it just sizes the job.

Estimated budget *

Pick a range — "not sure yet" counts.

Timeline *

Pick one — flexible is allowed.

After launch

Proof before press.
