The Process
WildHive Studio builds conversion-ready Shopify websites for eCommerce founders in one focused week. The process is organized and low-lift for clients. Pricing is published publicly. Most start dates are available within a few weeks. Post-launch support, video walkthroughs, and a launch guide are included with every website project.
-
The one-week website process has three phases: design, review, and launch; all completed within five business days, with structured feedback rounds on Wednesday and Thursday.
Before your week begins, you complete a detailed intake form and join a kickoff strategy call. That call is where your aesthetic direction, page structure, Shopify theme, and goals all get aligned. Once the week starts, you hand off the work and the process begins.
Design and development move forward together behind the scenes. You're not asked to manage the project or make micro-decisions along the way. On Wednesday, you review the site and submit your feedback. That feedback is implemented, and passed back to you for review on Thursday. Final changes are made on Friday. By the end of the week your site is live.
The experience is organized, contained, and genuinely low-lift on your end. That isn’t a marketing line. It’s the thing clients mention most when they reflect on the process.
-
Yes. A focused one-week timeline consistently produces better outcomes than a months-long project when the process is structured correctly and the client arrives prepared.
Long timelines don't create better websites. They create more opportunities for scope creep, scattered feedback, delayed decisions, and burnout on both sides. The focused timeline works because everything becomes a priority for one contained week.
After building brands and websites for 100+ founders, the pattern’s clear: those who go through a focused build launch with more confidence, fewer lingering "I'll fix that later" items, and a site they're actually proud to send traffic to.
-
Before your week begins, you’ll need your brand assets (logos, color palette, fonts), product photography, and website copy ready to hand off.
After booking, you’ll receive a preparation guide that clearly outlines what to gather and how to organize it. You're not left guessing. Most clients find the prep phase easier than expected. We use Content Snare to keep all your files, questions, and responses in one place.
The kickoff call clarifies anything that still feels uncertain.
The preparation is what makes the one-week timeline possible.
-
Very little. Your primary involvement during the week is the Wednesday feedback round.
You’re not project managing. You’re not approving every micro-decision. You’re not chasing emails or timelines. We show you the website on Day 2 (Tuesday), you give focused feedback on Day 3 (Wednesday), and again on Day 4 (Thursday). By Friday your site’s ready to go live if you choose to publish it.
-
After launch, you receive video walkthroughs of your site, a launch guide with clear next steps, and a post-launch support window for questions and minor refinements.
The walkthroughs take you through managing all the key areas of your site so you understand exactly how to update products, swap images, adjust copy, and manage your store without needing a designer for every small change. The goal is 100% ownership, not ongoing dependency on me or other developers.
-
Yes. WildHive offers standalone copywriting and SEO audit services as separate one week offers, and guidance in choosing apps for specific functionalities is included as part of every website build.
If your copy isn't ready before your scheduled week, Copywriting in a Week is available as a standalone service or scheduled before your website build.
SEO foundations — meta titles, descriptions, alt text, and basic structure for the pages in scope — are included in every website build. A deeper SEO and Google Analytics audit is also available as its own dedicated service.
During your Website in a Week project, you’ll also receive recommendations on which Shopify apps are worth installing for your specific goals, and which ones to skip.
-
Yes. Every Website in a Week includes recorded video walkthroughs specific to your site, a launch guide, and a post-launch support window so you leave knowing exactly how to manage your store independently.
Most clients are surprised by how capable they feel within the first few days of having their site live. Use the videos yourself or hand them off to your virtual assistant.
Services & Scope
-
WildHive Studio specializes in their Website in a Week offer with add-on services that follow the same proven one week process. Additional services include:
Branding in a Week
Copywriting in a Week
Traffic and Performance Analytics Audit
WildHive also offers a few services that take longer than one week including:
A two-week or four-week custom shopify website option for complex builds.
Packaging Design
Services can be booked individually or sequenced together — brand first, then copy, then website — for a complete launch foundation built week by week.
-
WildHive specializes in Shopify for product-based eCommerce brands.
If you sell physical products online, Shopify is the preferred platform WildHive builds on and it’s where we do our best work.
However, for the right project, we do take on a handful of Squarespace sites each year. WildHive’s website is built in Squarespace so we love and trust the platform.
-
WildHive offers three website tiers: one week for standard Shopify builds, two weeks for larger sites with more pages, and four weeks for complex custom Shopify development.
The one-week service is the right fit for most founders — a clear scope, existing branding, and content that's ready to go. If your site has a larger page count or more complex product architecture, the two-week tier gives that room to breathe. If you need advanced customization, custom functionality, or development beyond a standard Shopify theme, the four-week custom tier is built for that.
Not sure which fits your project? The inquiry form is the right starting point.
-
Yes. If you're currently on another platform like Wix, Squarespace, Showit, WooCommerce, or somewhere else and you’re ready to migrate to Shopify, the migration can be handled as part of your project.
Most eCommerce founders who move to Shopify never look back. If you're not sure whether the switch makes sense for your business, that's worth a conversation before booking.
-
Yes. WildHive works with new businesses as long as the foundation is ready. We offer services to help you prepare such as Branding in a Week and Copywriting in a Week.
First-time founders are a strong fit when they have their product line confirmed, branding ready or in progress, and content either prepared or being handled through WildHive’s copywriting in a week service. The one-week model works especially well for founders who want to launch right the first time instead of launching fast and rebuilding in six months.
Established brands looking to move past a DIY site that no longer reflects their level are the other sweet spot. Either way, the readiness criteria matter more than how long you've been in business.
-
No. WildHive works with any product-based eCommerce founder who is the right fit based on business stage and readiness, regardless of gender.
Most clients are women, and the messaging reflects that audience. But the work is open to any founder whose business and goals align with what WildHive offers.
Investment and Booking
-
Website in a Week starts at $4,950, with payment plans available. This covers up to 9 pages. Additional pages will increase the scope and price of the project. WildHive Studio publishes pricing publicly on the services pages and in the inquiry form. All pricing is available without requiring an inquiry first.
You can review current pricing directly on the services page and know exactly what you're looking at before reaching out.
-
Most start dates are available within a few weeks. Availability shifts regularly as projects book and complete, so the best way to see current openings is to fill out the inquiry form.
Our Website in a Week booking moves faster than traditional web design timelines by design. You're not waiting six months to start. If your timeline is urgent, mention it in your inquiry and availability can be checked quickly.
-
Booking starts with an inquiry form. If it's a fit, you'll receive a proposal, sign a contract, pay a deposit to hold your start date, and receive your preparation guide ahead of the Website in a Week project.
There's no lengthy discovery process before knowing if you're a fit. The inquiry form collects the right information to make that call quickly, and you'll hear back with a clear answer — yes, let's move forward, or an honest explanation of why the timing or scope isn't right.
-
Yes. A 30% deposit is required to hold your project start date. The remaining balance is due before the week begins.
Payment details and structure are outlined in the proposal and contract before anything is finalized. No surprises.
-
Yes. Our One Week services are designed to stack. The most common sequence is Branding in a Week followed by Website in a Week, with an optional Copywriting in a Week in between.
Each one-week project books its own start date. Branding typically runs first since the website build requires brand assets. Depending on availability, these can run back to back or with time in between. The inquiry form is the right place to outline what you're looking for and map out a sequence that works for your timeline.
If you’ve been wondering “Is this real?” …
-
Yes, really. The one-week timeline works because the process is engineered for it — not because corners are being cut.
This is the most common hesitation and it's completely fair. A week sounds fast because most web design experiences involve months of back-and-forth, unclear timelines, and scope that expands without warning. That's what makes a focused project feel almost unbelievable by comparison.
The difference is structure. The prep phase eliminates mid-project confusion. The phase-based build keeps momentum moving. The contained feedback rounds prevent revision spirals. Nothing about this is rushed — it's just organized in a way that most design processes aren't.
The fastest way to stop wondering if it's real is to look at the results. See client projects →
-
No. The Website in a Week process is intentionally designed to be low-lift for you. Your biggest commitment is the prep work before the week and the Wednesday feedback round.
The prep takes some focused effort — gathering assets, organizing copy, completing the intake form. But it's guided, clear, and finite. Once the week starts, you step back. You're not managing a project. You're not making decisions on the fly. You give feedback once, maybe twice, and the rest is handled.
Clients who've been through drawn-out design projects with previous designers consistently describe this process as the easiest thing they've ever handed off.
-
The kickoff strategy call and detailed intake process exist specifically to prevent this. Design direction is aligned before a single pixel is placed.
There's no guessing about your aesthetic, your goals, or your audience by the time the build starts. The Wednesday feedback round exists to make sure the execution matches your vision, and refinements are built into the timeline.
That said, the process is designed around confident, expert-led decisions — not unlimited options. If you need dozens of concepts to choose from or prefer an open-ended exploration phase, this particular model may not be the right fit.
-
The One Week Website Model eliminates most of the conditions that cause design projects to go wrong — unclear scope, long timelines, scattered communication, and endless revisions.
Past bad experiences usually come down to one of a few things: vague deliverables, no clear timeline, too much left to the client to figure out, or a designer who over-promised and under-delivered. The WildHive process is built to address all of those directly.
Clear scope. Fixed timeline. Guided prep. Structured feedback. Defined deliverables. Post-launch support.
There's no mystery about what you're getting, when you're getting it, or what happens after.
-
Life happens. The only moment that truly requires your attention is the Wednesday feedback round. If that window is protected, the rest of the week runs smoothly.
If something unexpected occurs, communicate early and the timeline can be adjusted where possible.
The goal is always having a website you feel confident launching, not one pushed through while you’re dealing with something important. If an emergency means you can’t engage at all, rescheduling can always be discussed.
