Preview-first process
Know what happens before work begins.
First judge the direction. Then confirm the exact work. Only after that do production, staging, revisions and handoff begin.

The short version
Preview, commit, then build and launch.
- 01
Preview
Share the essentials, confirm fit and review the first two-section direction before project payment.
- 02
Commit
Approve the direction, then confirm the exact work, inputs, timing, outside costs and 50% start payment.
- 03
Build and launch
Review staging, use the included revisions, approve the result, then launch or receive the agreed handoff.
The complete path
Jump to a stage or open only the detail you need.
Every stage name stays visible. On smaller screens, open a stage for responsibilities and deliverables.
02
Check fit and timing
Open detail- You provide
- Any missing context about audience, scope, required capability and timing.
- Local Web Works does
- We confirm whether the request fits current capacity and whether enough usable material is available.
- You receive or decide
- A fit decision plus an expected preview date when the request is ready.
03
Receive the preview
Open detail- You provide
- Timely answers to any specific clarification needed for the agreed opening direction.
- Local Web Works does
- We prepare one first-two-section direction as watermarked stills or a controlled non-production preview.
- You receive or decide
- One visual direction with up to three specific changes inside it.
You now know what the preview needs and what it returns.
04
Approve the direction

- Local Web Works does
- We confirm package, work, timeline, responsibilities, terms and outside costs in writing.
