The Nova Process

From zero to live.
Here's how.

No surprises, no confusion. Five steps and thats it.

The process

Five steps to a live website.

Designed to be simple on your end. You do the content. We do the rest.

1

We connect.

We start with a quick conversation to understand your business, your audience, and which Nova plan fits.

What you need for this step: A rough idea of what your business does and what you want your site to accomplish.
2

You get access to the Nova portal. Pick your template.

Once you're signed up, you'll receive a login to the Nova portal. Inside, you'll find a curated selection of templates. Pick the one that fits your vibe and you're ready to move to the next step.

What to expect: Templates are organized by category — portfolio, personal services, professional services. Each one shows you exactly what pages and sections are included.
3

Upload your content.

The portal guides you through every section of your site with clear prompts. Write your bio. Drop in your services. Upload your photos. Add your contact info.

Not sure what to write? The portal includes example copy and writing tips for every section. We can also offer individualized suggestions.
4

Quasar builds it. You watch the progress in real time.

Once you submit your content, our team picks it up and starts building. You'll have a live status tracker in your portal — you can see exactly where your site is in the build process without needing to chase anyone down for an update. Design. Development. QA. Launch prep. All tracked, all visible.

Our job from here: We assemble your content into the template, optimize for mobile, configure hosting, connect your domain, and make sure everything works before we call it done.
5

Your site goes live on your domain.

We connect everything to your domain (or help you get one if you don't have it yet), run final checks, and flip the switch. You'll get a notification when it's live with a link to review. If anything looks off, we fix it — that's part of the deal. Your monthly plan kicks in from launch day.

After launch: Ongoing maintenance is covered by your monthly plan. Need an update? Contact us and we'll handle it. You don't have to manage anything yourself.

Before you start

What to have ready.

The content portal guides you through everything, but gathering these items in advance will make the process faster. Most people can pull this together in an afternoon.

Don't have everything? That's okay — we'll tell you what's optional and what can be added later.

Get Started
  • Photos or headshots

    Professional if you have them — but good phone photos in decent light work too. We'll tell you exactly what sizes and orientations we need.

  • Your bio

    A paragraph or two about who you are, what you do, and why you do it. The portal gives you a prompt to work from if you're starting from scratch.

  • Services or offerings

    A list of what you offer with brief descriptions. Pricing is optional — some clients include it, some don't. Your call.

  • Contact information

    Phone, email, location (if relevant), and links to any social profiles you want featured on the site.

  • Your domain — or a plan to get one

    If you already have a domain, great — we'll connect it. If you don't, we'll help you choose and register one during the setup process.

Timeline

How long does this actually take?

7–10

Business days from content submission to launch

That's the typical turnaround once your content is submitted through the portal. Most clients are live within two weeks of signing up.

The clock starts when you submit your content — not when you sign up. Take the time you need to get it right.
Content submission is usually the longest part. Once we have everything, our build timeline is consistent.
Standard plan clients get priority queue placement — typically 5–7 business days for the build phase.
Rush builds are available in some cases. Contact us to ask about your timeline.

Quick answers

Still have questions?

Here are a few common ones. The full FAQ has everything else.

What if I don't have professional photos yet?

You don't need them to get started. Many clients begin the portal with phone photos and upgrade later. The portal lets you flag sections as "photos coming" so you can complete everything else first. We can also discuss placeholder options during setup.

Can I make changes to my site after it launches?

Yes. Ongoing updates are handled through your monthly plan — contact us with what you need changed and we'll take care of it. For larger redesigns or additional pages, we'll scope that separately.

What if I'm not happy with how it looks?

We do a review round before the site goes live — you'll see it before anyone else does. If something isn't right, tell us and we'll fix it. Our goal is a site you're proud to share, not a site you have to apologize for.
