Curious how full-service websites come together at Mainstay? We’ve structured our website design process to be fast, smooth, and stress-free—from sign-up to launch and beyond. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or a service-based business owner, we’re here to make web design feel easy and empowering.
Our Approach to Full-Service Websites
All Mainstay websites are full-service—meaning we handle the technical stuff, design and development, and ongoing support. Our comprehensive process includes all the essentials for a high-performing, lead-generating website, wrapped in personalized service and straightforward communication. From hosting to launch and beyond, we’ve got you covered every step of the way.
Premium Features:
SEO
Every Mainstay website includes on-page SEO best practices to help your site rank higher and attract more visitors. It’s our way of helping your business get found online, right from the start.
Analytics
Website traffic analytics help you understand how your site is performing—and what your visitors are doing. Our higher-tier packages come with monthly reporting, so you’re always in the loop.
Custom Design
We start with beautifully crafted templates designed to convert—then tailor each one to match your brand, your voice, and your goals. Every site is uniquely yours.
What to Expect
Step 01.
Choose your package
Pick from one of our three full-service packages and sign up to get started. With our transparent pricing model, there’s no upfront cost and no hidden fees. It really is that straightforward.
Need something outside the box—like e-commerce or a fully custom design? We’ve got you. Let us know what you need, and we’ll create a custom proposal before you commit.
Step 02.
Complete our easy onboarding process
Once you sign our contract and add billing info, you’ll unlock access to the Mainstay Project Launchpad. Our onboarding is designed to be quick and clear—we ask for key details about your business, gather brand assets or images (or provide stock options), and help you select a website template that fits your style.
Step 03.
We bring your website to life
This is where the magic happens. We take everything you’ve shared and get to work building your site. While we’re in the zone, you can relax knowing we’re focused on creating a design that’s both beautiful and strategic.
Step 04.
Review and refine
Once your first draft is ready, we’ll send a link so you can explore it and share your feedback. Then we’ll apply your changes, fine-tune the final details, and get everything ready for launch.
Step 05.
Launch and celebrate!
Time to go live! We’ll publish your new website and cheer you on as it becomes the digital home your business deserves.
Step 06.
Enjoy stress-free maintenance
For the next 24 months, you’ll have ongoing support, updates, hosting, and monitoring—all included. We also provide monthly health and traffic analytics* reports so you can track performance without lifting a finger. When your plan ends, you can continue with one of our care plans or take the reins yourself—we’re here either way.
*Traffic analytics available in Growth and Premium plans only.
