Your project will have its own unique course, depending on a number of variables such as custom features that are requested, how readily available your product data is, and your responsiveness to our emails. However, your project will follow the following course.
Sign up / Contract
When considering signing up for a Punchmark website, very often the first question is “What would be my next step?”
The first step is generally to sign the contract that is provided via Docu Sign. If you have any questions about your contract, terms involved, or are having trouble with the functionality, please contact Punchmark’s Sales Representative, Thomas Cossuto, thomas@punchmark.com

Kickoff Meeting
To get the ball really rolling you will meet with your assigned project contact, who will be a member of the Customer Success team. These meetings are typically 20-40 minutes, depending on the specifics of your project.
During this meeting, they will explain a general overview for your project, what to expect as well as any dates that are upcoming.

Quality Control
After everything has been approved, we do one last Quality Control sweep, or “QC”. This process entails clicking every button and link on mobile and desktop, and viewing every page to ensure it all looks and works the way we intend. Inevitably some changes will need to be made during QC or immediately after launch.
Schedule Launch
If there is a date that you absolutely need your site launched by, we prefer to launch a few days ahead of time to ensure a smooth launch. Please be sure to communicate this clearly to your Customer Success team point of contact.
Your website is composed of many thousands of lines of code, so a little polish is usually required upon launch.
Introduction to Account Manager
At this time, there will be a pass off to your Account Manager. This will be another member of the Customer Success team, and they will be your new point of contact at Punchmark.
