Folio Nº002/ About

The Company

TheWebLoria operates as a retained web department for companies requiring dependable websites without the usual administrative drag.

Design, development, content, and production requests are received, reviewed, and advanced through a clear working system, with senior direction applied where it counts and unnecessary ceremony kept firmly off the agenda. Every page that leaves the department is drafted like an engraving — structure first, light second, ornament last — and inspected line by line before it ships.

Operating Principles

The department is operated across two desks. Together they are responsible for direction, production, and the continued maintenance of the TheWebLoria standard. Their functions overlap by design: one desk draws the system, the other ensures it leaves the building in proper condition. All work entering the department is reviewed against the same operating principles — clarity before decoration, purpose before volume, and no unnecessary meetings. Decisions are made close to the work and remain in effect until a better decision is presented in writing. This arrangement has been approved for continued use.

The Drafting Desk

Where every engagement begins. Strategy, brand direction, art direction, and interface design — the desk that decides what a site must say before deciding how it looks. Wireframes are drawn like blueprints; typography, color, and motion are chosen the way an engraver chooses a burin. Nothing decorative survives unless it carries meaning.

Output: brand systems, design systems, page designs, motion direction, copy decks.

The Pressing Desk

Where drawings become plates and plates become print. Development, performance, accessibility, and launch — the desk that guarantees what was drawn is what ships. Every build is inspected against the original drafting sheets: pixel by pixel, line by line, on every screen size, before it is pressed to production.

Output: production builds, e-commerce, CMS integrations, performance audits, launches.

001 · General Questions

Nº001What exactly is TheWebLoria?+

A retained web department. You subscribe, submit requests, and receive ongoing design and development support across websites, brand, product, and marketing. Think of it as a senior web team embedded in your business without the overhead of hiring and managing one internally.

Nº002Who is TheWebLoria for?+

Startups that need to move fast. Established brands that need consistent output. Local businesses that have outgrown their template site. Agencies at capacity. If you regularly need high-quality web work and want a simpler way to get it done, the department was built for you.

Nº003What's the delivery process like?+

We start with a brief onboarding call to understand your goals, brand standards, and working preferences. From there, requests move through a shared workspace where priorities remain visible at all times. Most deliverables are completed within 72 hours and announced through direct messages, with short video walkthroughs when extra context helps.

Nº004How fast will I get my website?+

Most requests are completed within 72 hours. Full websites, e-commerce builds, and brand systems are broken into smaller deliverables and completed in stages. Progress remains visible throughout, and you'll always know what's being worked on next. A complete Site Sprint runs four weeks, drafting table to launch.

Nº005Is there a limit on requests?+

No. Add as many requests as you'd like to your queue. We work through them in priority order — one active task at a time on Standard and two active tasks at a time on Pro.

Nº006How do you handle larger projects?+

Large builds are broken into smaller deliverables and organized within the shared workspace. Each task moves through the queue according to agreed priorities and follows the same delivery rhythm as any other request — faster feedback loops, greater visibility, steady momentum.

Nº007Why not just hire a full-time developer?+

Hiring a senior designer-developer comes with salary, benefits, onboarding, management overhead, and capacity limits. TheWebLoria gives you a broader range of skills — design, development, copy, motion — without the commitment of building an internal department.

Nº008What if I'm not satisfied with the work?+

Revisions are unlimited while your subscription is active. We iterate until the deliverable aligns with the agreed brief; each revision is treated like a new task in the queue. Clear feedback helps us move quickly and ensures the final result meets your expectations.

002 · Scope of Work

Nº001What types of work does TheWebLoria cover?+

Full websites and landing pages. Web and interface design. Brand identity and strategy. E-commerce and CMS builds. Marketing assets, decks, and social content. Motion and interaction design. If it lives on a screen and represents your business, the department handles it.

Nº002What's not included?+

Native mobile app development, complex backend platforms, long-form editorial ghostwriting, and advanced 3D pipelines. Some exceptions apply on the Pro plan. If you're unsure whether something falls within scope, ask and we'll tell you directly.

Nº003Do you write copy?+

Yes. Brand copy, website copy, and marketing content are within scope — our team includes copywriters who draft the words alongside the pages that hold them.

Nº004Do you handle development, or just design?+

Both. Web design is included on every plan. Full custom development — hand-built sites, e-commerce, CMS integration — is included on Pro and in every Site Sprint. We build fast, accessible, cinematic sites that don't lean on page-builder templates.

Nº005Can you work within our existing brand guidelines?+

That's the preferred method. Share your guidelines at onboarding and we'll operate within them from the start. If guidelines don't exist yet, we can establish them.

Nº006Do you provide stock photography and video?+

Yes. Unlimited licensed stock imagery and footage are included on all plans, along with AI-generated cinematic visuals produced in-house when your brand calls for something no stock library holds.

Nº007Can I request the same type of work on a recurring basis?+

That's one of the main use cases. Many clients use the department for ongoing deliverables — monthly landing pages, seasonal campaign updates, new menu drops, product launches. The subscription is built for consistent output.

Nº008Can you design for multiple brands under one subscription?+

Yes. All plans include unlimited brands. If you're managing multiple clients or product lines, they can all run through the same account.

003 · Workflow & Process

Nº001Are there meetings?+

No standing meetings. The department operates asynchronously by design. If a brief requires a short alignment call, we'll schedule one, but it won't become a recurring fixture.

Nº002How do revisions work?+

Unlimited and included. Submit revision notes in the shared workspace or directly on the designs. Turnaround is typically up to 72 hours.

Nº003How does the request queue work?+

You submit requests through the shared workspace. We work through them in the order you've prioritised. Backlog, Next Up, In Progress, and Completed are all visible at a glance. You control the priority; we control the execution.

Nº004What tools does the department use?+

Figma is our primary design environment. Project management runs through a shared Notion workspace. Builds are hand-coded or assembled on the platform that suits the project. We adapt to your stack where it makes sense.

Nº005What should I include in a request?+

A clear description of what you need, the format or dimensions if applicable, any relevant references, and a deadline if one exists. The more specific the brief, the faster and more accurate the output.

Nº006How quickly do you respond to messages?+

Within one business day. For active projects, usually faster. We're not structured for real-time chat, but nothing goes unanswered.

Nº007Can I invite my team to the workspace?+

Yes. All plans include unlimited team seats. Stakeholders, collaborators, or clients can be added without restriction.

Nº008What happens after I submit a request?+

It enters the queue, gets reviewed, and work begins. You'll receive an initial draft or progress update within 72 hours. From there, you review, leave feedback, and we iterate until the request is closed.

004 · Billing & Membership

Nº001How does billing work?+

Monthly, billed on the same date each cycle. No hidden fees, no usage-based charges, and no surprise invoices.

Nº002What payment methods do you accept?+

All major credit and debit cards. Bank transfers can be arranged for annual plans and Site Sprints. Payment is handled securely and we do not store card details.

Nº003Is there a contract or minimum commitment?+

No contract. Month-to-month. You can cancel, pause, or upgrade at any time without penalty.

Nº004Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?+

Yes, at any time. Moving from Standard to Pro increases your active request slots and adds full development capability. Downgrading takes effect at the start of the next billing cycle.

Nº005Can I pause my subscription?+

Yes. If your workload drops, pause and the unused days roll forward. You won't be billed during the pause period.

Nº006Are there setup or onboarding fees?+

None. The monthly subscription covers everything.

Nº007Do you offer refunds?+

If you're not satisfied within seven calendar days of starting your first subscription cycle, we'll issue a 75% refund. After that window, fees are non-refundable except as required by law. If something has gone wrong on our end, contact us and we'll work it out.

Nº008How do I cancel?+

Contact the team directly. No retention process, no exit interview, and no attempts to change your mind.

005 · Files & Ownership

Nº001Who owns the work?+

You do. All final, approved deliverables — designs, code, and content — become your exclusive intellectual property upon full payment of the billing cycle.

Nº002Will I receive the source files?+

Yes. All source files — Figma files, code repositories, asset packages — are yours and transferred upon completion.

Nº003Do you sign NDAs?+

Yes. If confidentiality is important, request an NDA before work begins and we'll both sign it. Without an NDA, we may showcase completed work in our portfolio and case studies.

Nº004What happens to my files if I cancel?+

They remain yours. All completed work, source files, and repositories are transferred before the subscription closes.

Nº005What file formats will I receive?+

Whatever the deliverable requires. Sites ship as deployed builds plus source. Print work comes press-ready. Digital assets export as PNG, SVG, WebP, MP4, and GIF. Figma files are shared directly.
