- Catalogue, cart, checkout, and payment requirements reviewed first.
- Gateway and transaction-fee terms confirmed before approval.

How it works
From enquiry to launch
A clear process takes you from the first conversation to an approved live site. You see the scope, review the work, and know what happens next at every stage.
1. Start the chat
Tell Caesar what you want to launch, what matters most to your customers, and which website or ecommerce option best fits your business.
2. Capture the brief
CloudMonkey turns the conversation into a practical brief covering your business, pages, products, domain, and launch requirements.
3. Build and review
The site is prepared, checked, and shared back for review. You can ask questions and request agreed changes before anything is published.
4. Go live
Once approved, CloudMonkey connects the domain, provides access, and keeps support available in the dashboard.
