Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about process, timelines, pricing, and SEO.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

We partner with service businesses, professional firms, SaaS, and local companies that need a fast, credible site that generates leads. We tailor strategy, design, and SEO to your market and goals.

How long does a website project take?

Most small business sites launch in 3–6 weeks depending on scope—content readiness, number of pages, integrations, and feedback turnaround are the biggest drivers of timeline.

Do you offer SEO? What results can I expect?

Yes. Every build includes technical and on-page SEO (titles, meta, headings, schema), plus performance tuning for Core Web Vitals. Ongoing SEO can include content, internal linking, and local SEO to grow qualified traffic and conversions.

Next.js or WordPress—what’s right for me?

It depends on content needs and workflows. Next.js excels at speed and flexibility; WordPress is great for marketing teams that want rich editing. We’ll recommend the best fit after discovery.

How much does a website cost?

Typical engagements start with a discovery-based fixed scope. Small sites often start around $500–$3k; more complex builds and integrations are quoted after scoping. Ongoing hosting and maintenance plans are billed monthly.

Do you provide hosting and maintenance?

Yes. Managed hosting includes SSL/CDN, automated backups, updates, uptime and security monitoring, and a monthly report with traffic and SEO highlights.

Will my site be fast and accessible?

Performance and accessibility are core requirements. We build mobile-first, optimize images and scripts, and follow WCAG guidelines to ensure your site is usable and fast for everyone.

Do you migrate content and set up redirects?

We handle content migration, URL mapping, and 301 redirects to protect SEO during launch. We also submit sitemaps and verify indexing in Search Console.
