Planning

Pick a start date and see the real working days.

Five milestones counted in working days, weekends removed, printable and downloadable as calendar entries. Informational until a scope is agreed, and it says so on the page rather than in a footnote.

Build the plan.

Choose a package and a preferred start. A weekend start moves to the next working day.

What this measures

Working days, counted the way the project runs.

The planner counts forward from your start date using the milestone spacing published for each package, and skips Saturday and Sunday. It returns the same five moments every project passes through: kickoff, draft review, revisions, approval, launch.

The five milestones are the same five phases the process page describes, so the plan you print here and the agreement you sign describe one project, not two.

The honest part

What it does not tell you.

  • Nothing here is booked. These dates are informational until a written scope is agreed and the deposit clears, and only then does a start date belong to you.
  • Every date after a review moves with you. Two extra days to approve a draft moves the launch by two days, and slow review is the most common reason a plan slips.
  • It assumes content is ready at kickoff. Waiting on copy, photos or account access is the second most common reason.
  • It removes weekends and nothing else. It does not know your holidays, your closures, or what is already in the studio's queue.
  • It plans the project as scoped. Work added after kickoff is re-planned in the open, not quietly absorbed into the same dates.

A date is easy. Knowing what to build is the hard part.

The audit looks at the site you have now and says what is worth doing first. That is the conversation a real start date comes out of.
