hot sEat sessions
Your site is about to have a very good day. (Maybe two.)
Hot Seats are focused 1- or 2-day design sprints for sites that are close, but not quite there. Pick your sprint, book your date, pay the deposit. I'll send a short prep form so day one starts at full speed. Regardless of sprint length, of this we can be sure: your site is about to have a much better life.

Built for sites that are close
Your site's bones are good. But your list of small problems is long, and it's been that way for a while. A homepage that should convert better, a services page that's gone stale, the mobile layout you quit checking, oodles of tiny fixes that keep sliding into next week…
Those are the exact scenarios a Hot Seat is built for. You bring the list. I bring the velocity, and the changes go live while we work.
If the bones turn out to be the problem, that's a Groove or House Lights Up, and I'll tell you so before you spend a dollar.
ONE SITE PER DAY
Your Hot Seat day is booked for your site alone. Nothing else gets in the room, ever.

and then what?
01 Book your date
Pick your sprint and pay the deposit. That locks the calendar, and the day belongs to your site.
02 Fill out the prep form
A short intake lands in your inbox: logins, priorities, and your hit list. Session time goes to fixing things, and none of it goes to hunting passwords.
03 Take the Hot Seat
We start with strategy so every fix aims at the right target, then I build. You stay reachable for quick approvals. No need to watch me type.
04 Wrap up & live launch
You get a walkthrough of everything that changed and why, plus 2 weeks or up to 30 days of email support for anything that wobbles.
Questions
That fine print, in plain English
-
Hot Seats are flat: $1,000 for one day, $2,500 for two. You don't have to pay it all at once. Half is due when you book to lock your date ($500 or $1,250), and the balance is due 3 days before your sprint.
No weird fees, no surprise charges. Want to pay it off sooner? Email me and I'll update your invoice.
-
If your Hot Seat turns into a bigger project, you shouldn't pay twice for the same momentum. Book a One or Two Week Groove or House Lights Up within 30 days of your sprint and your full Hot Seat fee credits toward it.
-
Back to back. The scheduler books day one, and I block the next business day for you the moment your deposit lands. One sprint, one head of steam.
-
Because it's a different animal. Before a two-day sprint I do real pre-session strategy work: your priorities get mapped and pressure-tested before day one starts.
You're buying a plan plus two days of execution.

Then I'll tell it to you straight, and we'll talk about what actually fixes it. That's what the fee credit is for.
