How long does it take to create a website?

The length of time it takes to create a fully functional website is based on several factors. Custom design work can take anywhere from 1 - 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the number of revisions you require. The development phase could require an additional 1 - 6 weeks, depending on the number of pages, and the functionality that is desired. Of course, these are general guidelines, and we will make every effort to meet the time frame you have in mind

What is the average cost for a website?

It is difficult to quote an average price, due to the enormous range in requirements for each website requirements. There are many, many factors that influence the ultimate cost of any given website. We provide our clients with a detailed estimate before any work begins

What happens after the website is launched - do you offer ongoing support or maintenance?

Yes, we provide post-launch assistance including quick bug fixes, minor updates, and client training. We also offer optional maintenance plans for ongoing security monitoring, regular backups, performance optimizations, software updates, and content refreshes to keep your site secure and up-to-date.

Can you integrate third-party tools like e-commerce platforms, booking systems, or email marketing services?

Absolutely. We commonly integrate a wide range of external services such as payment gateways, CRM systems, appointment schedulers, analytics tools, contact forms, and marketing platforms (including Mailchimp, Shopify elements, and more) to create a seamless, fully functional experience tailored to your business needs.

Yes we work with most all Content Management System's (CMS)

Can I see my website while it's in progress?

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. We build your website on our development Server, and provide you with a URL link so that you can log in and monitor the progress of your site. During this phase, we encourage your feedback if something isn't quite the way you envisioned it or if you've changed your mind. Once your site is ready and you have provided your approval, we release it live

How do you ensure my website is mobile-friendly and performs well on all devices?

We build every site with fully responsive design from the ground up, using modern frameworks and best practices. We rigorously test across desktops, tablets, and smartphones to ensure optimal display, fast loading times, and excellent usability on any screen size while meeting current core web vitals standards.

How involved will I need to be during the design and development process?

Our process is designed to be collaborative yet flexible. You'll share your goals, brand assets, and content early on, then review key milestones like wireframes, designs, and live progress on the development server. Typically, this requires only a handful of focused feedback sessions, allowing you to stay involved without overwhelming your schedule.

How do you handle website security during development and after launch?

We prioritize security throughout: using secure coding standards, enforcing HTTPS, protecting against common vulnerabilities, and keeping dependencies updated. After launch, we recommend (and can help implement) strong authentication, firewalls, regular backups, malware scanning, and monitoring to safeguard your site against threats.

Is a Custom Website Design really that much more valuable than a good website template?

In general, we do not recommend the use of templates, but they may be appropriate in certain situations. For example, if you absolutely must have a site launched within the space of a few days, or if you are on an especially limited budget, a template might be an acceptable short-term solution. However, these instances should be the exception rather than the rule for these reasons:
1. Most templates do not conform to important usability and search engine guidelines. If you're not meeting the needs of your users, or if the search engines can't easily index your site, then you'll simply be wasting your valuable time and money with this approach
2. Most templates do not lend themselves to quick or easy modification. If you require design modifications, it's important to understand that they can substantially increase your total cost
3. Templates purchased from the major online vendors may be used hundreds or even thousands of times, even by your own competitors. A cookie cutter design doesn't attract much lasting attention. Good design is a reflection of your business, your strategy and your audience

Do you optimize the website for search engines (SEO) during the build?

Yes, we incorporate essential on-page SEO elements in every project, including clean semantic code, fast performance, proper heading structure, meta tags, mobile optimization, image alt attributes, and schema markup where appropriate. Advanced SEO strategies, keyword research, or ongoing optimization can be added as needed.

What if I need changes or additions after the site is completed?

Since you receive 100% ownership and all source files upon completion, making future changes is simple and flexible. We’re happy to assist with updates, new features, expansions, or even complete redesigns as your business evolves - many clients return to us for ongoing enhancements.

Can I choose you to Design my Website and use a different Web Hosting company?

Yes, you can use any web host you like. Once your website has been completed you will have to provide us with your web hosting ftp login user-name as password so that we can upload your website for you. Or if this something you are comfortable doing we can send you the website design package

Yes. We include copy writing and editing in all of our proposals. We also build your site-map and help structure the foundation of your website in the planning stages

Can you help me source photos for my website?

Yes. We will help you source stock photos from image websites. And if you have your own photos we can utilize these as well

Do I own my website?

YES! Everything that we build will be 100% owned by you. Most of our clients stay with us for the life of the website. But if for any reason you decide you want to take your site to another hosting service and get another company to service the site, we will happily assist you in making the transition as effortlessly and efficiently as possible. The website is yours after all, and we want you to take it wherever you go

When is payment required for your website design and development services?

For most projects, 50% of the estimated fee must be provided prior to beginning work, with the remaining payment due upon completion of the project. For larger projects, an initial payment representing one-third of the estimated total fee is required. The second payment is required upon the halfway point, with the final third due upon completion of the project
