A simple process from start to go-live.
How it works
Step 01:
Plan & Design
You’ll work with one of our friendly and knowledgeable website strategists to create a plan, choose your base theme, establish colours and fonts, and discuss your copy.
From there, one of our in-house designers will create conversion-focused, clickable design mockups for each page of your new website.
You’ll get two rounds of revisions, though we typically only need one.
Step 02:
Develop & Launch
Next, we’ll develop your website on a development server using the latest version of WordPress, Elementor, and best-in-class technology. You’ll receive a link to review your website.
Once you’ve approved it, we’ll perform final testing and prepare your website for launch. Then, it’s go time!
After it’s live, we’ll conduct performance optimizations to ensure your website loads lightning-fast.
Step 03:
Host & Maintain
After launch, we’ll provide you with an admin log-in and a training video so you feel empowered to use it. Since the website is yours now, we don’t lock anything down (unlike some other agencies).
We also provide fully-managed hosting and regular backend maintenance to ensure your website is secure, backed up, and running on the latest software.
Get peace of mind, knowing your website is being monitored and maintained.

How do they compare to a Squarespace or Wix website?
When comparing WordPress websites (our Quick Launch Websites included) to platforms like Squarespace or Wix, the main difference lies in their underlying architecture and the level of control and ownership they offer.
WordPress is a an open-source content management system (CMS). Think of it as a powerful, flexible framework that you use with your own choice of web hosting. This means you have complete ownership and control over your website’s files, database, and code. It also offers immense flexibility, allowing for virtually any kind of website, from a simple blog to a complex e-commerce store.
Squarespace and Wix are all-in-one website builders that operate on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. This means you pay a subscription fee, and they provide hosting, templates, and drag-and-drop editors. While they offer templates and some customization, their flexibility is inherently limited compared to WordPress. You’re also locked into a monthly subscription fee, and if you want to leave, you essentially lose your website (or face difficult technical challenges to migrate it elsewhere).
About 40-60% of the world’s websites are built with WordPress. Squarespace and Wix websites makes up about 4-6%.
Do you offer support after my website goes live?
Yes! We offer fully-managed website hosting, backend maintenance plans, and on-demand frontend support.
Our fully-managed website hosting includes:
- 24/7 security monitoring
- Google Cloud Platform servers
- Use of Cloudflare CDN
- Site caching system

And our backend website maintenance package includes:
- Monitoring for WordPress core,
theme, and plugin updates - Implementation of regular
updates on a weekly basis
and critical updates within 1-2
business days - Performance monitoring
- Uptime monitoring

Why should I choose Sparked?
We’ve been building fully-custom websites for over 6 years now. Many of these websites have 500+ pages and take 6-9 months to launch. We’ve mastered what it takes to deliver websites that are beautiful, feature-rich, and performance-driven–proven by the multiple website awards.
But along the way, we kept coming across the same challenge: smaller businesses were asking for our help. We could never quite figure out how to meet their budgets without compromising on quality. That’s until we developed our semi-custom service.
Now, we can deliver websites that draw on our years of experience, light us up creatively, and meet our high standards for performance websites. It’s truly a win-win.
