6P Process
Six-phase delivery system for WordPress work. Start with the smallest phase that reduces risk, prove it, lock scope, get the core thing online, then scale only when it earns it.
Probe
Find the real failure points before touching the build. We check the basics first so you do not pay to solve the wrong problem or fund a phase built on bad assumptions.
Prototype
Prove the path with a small test or first deliverable. This phase exists to show what works before you fund a bigger rebuild, migration, or feature set.
Plan
Freeze scope so the build can move cleanly. Lock what is in, what is out, what it costs, and what proof you get at the end of the phase before work starts.
Produce
Build the core thing with real content, then stabilize it. Execute the locked scope, get that phase online, and make sure it works before adding more.
Polish
Tighten everything in one controlled batch. This is where small issues get cleaned up without turning the phase into a moving target.
Protect
Launch clean, transfer ownership, and keep uptime stable. You leave with the site online, the accounts in your control, and the work documented so you are not locked in.
Scope drift. Endless meetings. Rebuilds that start too big. Paying for planning theatre instead of useful output.
This process cuts risk by breaking hard work into sensible phases. You always know the current scope, the proof for that phase, and what comes next if the first step works.
Proof, not promises. Start small, see it work, then decide if the next phase is worth funding. Read the full Web Design SOP. View the works archive with before and after examples.
