The Process

WildHive Studio builds conversion-ready Shopify websites for eCommerce founders in one focused week. The process is phase-based, 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 sprint.

  • The one-week website process has four phases: design, build, review, and launch — all completed within five business days, with a structured feedback round on Wednesday and an optional second round on 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 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 websites for 80+ eCommerce brands, the pattern’s clear: founders 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, 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, especially after 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. You hand off the work at the start of the week, give focused feedback mid-week, and by Friday your site’s live.

    This is the part most clients don’t fully believe until they’ve lived it. They expect chaos. They get calm.

  • 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 your site section by section 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 ownership, not ongoing dependency.

  • Yes. WildHive offers standalone copywriting and SEO audit services as separate one week offers, and app guidance 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 be sequenced before your website build. 

    SEO foundations — meta titles, descriptions, alt text, and basic structure — are included in every website build. A deeper SEO and Google Analytics audit is also available as its own dedicated service.

    During the build, 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.

    This isn't a generic tutorial. It's a walkthrough of your actual website — your pages, your products, your collections. You'll know where everything lives, how to make updates confidently, and what to do if something feels off.

    Most clients are surprised by how capable they feel within the first few days of having their site live. That's the point.

Services & Scope

  • WildHive Studio offers four week-based services: 

    • Website in a Week

    • Branding in a Week

    • Copywriting in a Week

    • Shopify, SEO, and Google Analytics Audit 

    A two-week or four-week custom shopify website option for complex builds.

    All sprint services are delivered in focused one-week timelines. Services can be booked individually or sequenced together — brand first, then copy, then website — for a complete launch foundation built sprint by sprint.

  • WildHive specializes in Shopify for product-based eCommerce brands.

    If you sell physical products online, Shopify is the preferred platform WildHive builds on. Every design decision, process, and recommendation is calibrated specifically for the Shopify ecosystem.

    Squarespace builds may be available on a limited basis for service-based businesses without an eCommerce component. Availability depends on current capacity.

  • WildHive offers three sprint 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 sprint 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, 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.

    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 the copy sprint. 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 & Booking

  • WildHive Studio publishes pricing publicly on the services pages. All sprint pricing is available without requiring an inquiry first.

    Pricing is structured by service and sprint tier. The one-week website sprint, two-week sprint, and four-week custom option each have distinct investment levels that reflect scope and complexity. 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.

    Sprint-based 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 sprint.

    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 deposit is required to hold your sprint 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. Sprint services are designed to stack. The most common sequence is Branding in a Week followed by Website in a Week, with an optional copy sprint in between.

    Each sprint 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.

The “Is This Real” Questions

  • 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 sprint 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 sprint 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.
