How we work
No surprises. That is the process.
Short answer
Every Ceylond project follows six steps: discover, scope, design, build, launch and look after. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a clear price before any work starts, weekly written updates during the project, and full ownership of everything we make for you once it is paid.
Six steps
From first call to looking after it.
- 1
First call
Discover
A 30-minute call and, where it helps, a quick audit of your site, tools or ad account. We listen more than we pitch.

Ways to work with us
Three ways to engage.

Monthly plan

Questions
Money, time and ownership.
How do you price projects?
Our starting prices are published on the pricing page, for example business websites from A$2,490£1,450US$1,790AED 5,900LKR 69,900 and SEO from A$750£450US$500AED 1,800LKR 34,900 a month. After a discovery call we send a written, fixed-scope proposal with the exact price and timeline. Ongoing work like care plans, SEO and ads runs on a monthly plan, paid in advance.
How often will I hear from you?
You get a written update every week and access to a shared project board. Calls run during the overlap between our hours and yours: most of the day for the UAE, the morning for the UK and the afternoon for Australia.
What do you need from me to start?
A decision maker who can give feedback within a few days, access to existing accounts (domain, hosting, Shopify, ad accounts), and any brand assets and content you already have.
Who owns the work when it is finished?
You do. Once the project is paid, you own the code, designs and content we created for you, and we hand over all logins and documentation.
