Anonymous client project · Iter · delivered and formally accepted
A courtyard property with a story worth telling had a website that undersold it. The full record — what was needed, what we built, where the language and revisions landed — sits below.
Five tailored pages, EN · FR · JA · ZH each reviewed. Ten working days, recorded day by day below. Two revision rounds, both used. Written acceptance received on the tenth working day. Published here anonymously, with the client's written permission.
01 · Brief
A first email, a short conversation, and a written brief — the whole project fits inside that.
Replace the existing site with five tailored pages — one about the house, one about the rooms, one about the place, one about how the lane and courtyard sit inside it, and one that closes every page near the owner's direct booking link. Four languages at delivery. Two revision rounds built into the contract.
02 · Plan
A short content map and a small style frame — both signed off before the build started.
03 · Build log
Working days, not calendar days. The build was sequenced in three phases — content map and style frame, the build itself, then language review and acceptance.
Day 1
Brief review and source materials
The brief, all photographs and the existing site's analytics went into one folder. We flagged the four pages that needed new photography and asked the owner to take them at the same hour on a clear day.
Day 2
Content map draft
Five pages, each with one job, written in plain sentences first and shaped into the editorial structure second. The owner confirmed the order on the same day.
Day 3
Style frame draft
Tone, palette and typography locked to the three choices above. One photograph of the courtyard was used as the colour anchor for the whole site.
Day 4
Home and Rooms, first draft
The Home page led with one photograph at dusk and one short paragraph. Rooms followed in arrival order, not price order.
Day 5
Place and Story, first draft
Place carried the lane and the courtyard as its first subject. Story carried one paragraph and one photograph. Both read in under ninety seconds.
Day 6
Path to book and four-language setup
The Path to book page ended one scroll from the owner's booking channel. The four-language switcher was wired to the existing host files only.
Day 7
Internal review and copy edit
Every page was read aloud against the style frame. Three small edits in the Story copy, two in the Place copy, none in Home or Rooms.
Day 8
First revision round — Room page
The owner asked for one Room to be reordered against arrival order. We moved it back into arrival order and re-read the rest of the page in the new order.
Day 9
Second revision round — Place page photograph
The owner asked for the Place page's opening photograph to be retaken at a different hour. We replaced it, re-tuned the colour anchor and re-read the page.
Day 10
Acceptance and handover
All four languages reviewed. Source files and the agreed licence statement handed over. The site was accepted in writing on the same day.
04 · Revisions
Iter carries two revision rounds in the contract. Both were used. Each entry records what was asked, what was changed, and why the change held.
Revision round 1
Revision round 2
05 · Delivery & acceptance
The site was accepted in writing on the tenth working day. Acceptance covered scope, the four-language review, and the agreed handover. No testimonial or endorsement was solicited.
