Here's exactly what happens between the first email and the moment your new site goes live. No intake calls, no kickoff meetings, no discovery sessions · just a few honest emails and a working site.
A few honest sentences sent to hello@nearblack.com · or a note through our contact form. We want to know three things: what you do, who it's for, and what's currently broken about how you present it online. That's the entire briefing. No questionnaire, no intake call.
No mood boards. No Figma files. We build a real, working, clickable website on a staging URL. By the end of the first day, you can see something. By the end of the second, you can use it.
Send us a voice memo. Send us a numbered list. Call us. However you want to give feedback is fine. We make the changes the same day. Most projects take one round of revisions. A few take zero.
We connect your domain. We deploy to Vercel with your code on GitHub · industry standard infrastructure with automatic backups, version history, and instant rollbacks. You pay the remaining balance · and only then.
We'll keep revising until you do. We don't stop until you're happy with the result · and we've never had a client walk away.
We do the first pass. You polish. On Growth and above, we include proper copy assistance.
We deploy on Vercel with your code stored on GitHub. It's the industry standard · your site auto-deploys on every update, you get version history, instant rollbacks, and automatic backups. If something ever breaks, we roll it back in seconds.
Yes. We build on modern CMS platforms that a non-technical owner can comfortably update. We give you a one-page guide.
We handle the transfer. You keep the domain. You always own everything.
Sometimes. The Rush add-on ($500) guarantees 48-hour delivery on five-page builds, subject to availability.
