Work process
From development to handover
Build & configure
I bring the approved UI designs to life, building a responsive, functional website on WordPress or Shopify: configuring the theme, writing custom code when needed, and integrating the plugins, apps and third-party tools your business needs.
Test & finalise
Once development is complete, I test the site across devices and browsers, review every user flow, apply SEO best practices including schema markup, and audit accessibility and speed so it’s ready for launch.
Handover & support
To wrap up, I deliver a detailed handover with admin training via Loom walkthroughs or documentation, content management guidance and optional post-launch support, so you feel confident managing your site.

From Development To Handover Process
A streamlined, end-to-end approach that ensures your WordPress or Shopify site is built, tested, and handed over with clarity, confidence, and care.
Build & Configure
I begin by bringing the approved UI designs to life, building a responsive and functional website using either WordPress or Shopify. This involves configuring the theme, writing custom code when necessary, integrating essential plugins or apps, and setting up third-party tools to ensure the site aligns with business needs and delivers a seamless user experience.
Test & Finalise
Once development is complete, I rigorously test the site across devices and browsers to ensure full compatibility and performance. I review all user flows for functionality, apply SEO best practices including schema markup, and audit the site for accessibility and speed to ensure it’s ready for launch.
Handover & Support
To wrap up, I deliver a detailed handover that includes admin training via Loom video walkthroughs or documentation, content management guidance, and optional post-launch support. This ensures clients feel confident managing and growing their site moving forward.
“Working with Sarah was a delight. She has created 2 websites for us. Her creative and communication skills have captured the look and feel and brand of our business. The feedback from our customers has been amazing. Nothing was to much trouble and she was available 24/7. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a high end website. She was fast and fabulous to work with.”
“Sarah worked with us to build a website for our new business. She took relatively vague requirements, and put together a site we are very proud of. Her quality of work is high and she was extremely responsive to any and all questions. She kept us up to date on her progress, and did a good job of asking any clarifying questions. I recommend you reach out to her for your website building needs.”
“I was honored to have apparently Sarah's first Upwork contract. She did a bang-up job for me, helped me get through the process (I'm TERRIBLE at design), and she even put up with my goofy humor. Great work and personality. Would strongly recommend.”
“I would really love to thank you for the website you have designed for our business Razz Hair Studio. You did everything I asked in regards to the website in very quick time, responded to my phone calls at anytime of the day or night and made any little alterations I needed. Also not to mention finding the best deal to host my website. In fact I was that happy with my experience with the first website, thought it was time to build another online purchase website for my ULTIMA Hair Brush business and you did a brilliant design of that one as well.”
“Sarah did an amazing job on the design of my business website for Madison Avenue Hair & Skin. Every step of the way making sure each page, photo and information was just as I wanted. Sarah is very patient and very easy to work with and is always available responding to any questions in a fast and efficient manner. I highly recommend Sarah if you are looking for a dedicated person to improve or build your new website.”
