Website Design FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about planning, building and running a website.
Website Design FAQ
Planning a new website or redesign? These are the questions our clients ask most often. If yours isn't here, call us at 888-808-8212 — we are happy to talk it through.
How much does a website cost?
Our custom website design plans start at $149/month, which covers design, hosting, updates and support. One-time project pricing is also available; small brochure sites start in the low thousands, while e-commerce and custom-functionality sites are quoted after a short discovery call.
How long does it take to build a website?
A typical small-business site takes 3–6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger e-commerce or custom builds take 8–12 weeks. The biggest factor is usually how quickly content (text and photos) is ready, so we help with copywriting and photography too.
Will my website work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Every site we build is fully responsive and tested on current iPhone, Android, tablet and desktop browsers. More than half of all web traffic is now mobile, so we design mobile-first.
Can I update the website myself?
Absolutely. Most sites are built on WordPress or a similar content management system, and we provide training so you can edit pages, add blog posts and change images without touching code. If you prefer, our maintenance plans include updates done for you.
Do you provide hosting and domain names?
Yes. We offer secure, managed hosting with SSL certificates, daily backups and email accounts, and can register or transfer your domain. You can also host elsewhere if you prefer — we will help with the setup.
Will my website be optimized for search engines?
Every site includes SEO fundamentals: clean code, fast loading, mobile-friendly layouts, proper headings and meta tags, XML sitemaps and Google Search Console setup. Ongoing SEO campaigns are available through our <a href="/seo/">SEO services</a>.
Who owns the website when it is finished?
You do. You own your domain, content and design. If you ever decide to move, we will provide your files and help with the transfer.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes — see our <a href="/web/website-design/website-redesign/">website redesign</a> service. We keep what works, fix what doesn't and preserve your search rankings with proper redirects.
Do you build online stores?
Yes. We build e-commerce sites on WooCommerce, Shopify and custom platforms with payment gateways, shipping, tax and inventory management. See <a href="/web/website-design/e-commerce-website-design/">e-commerce website design</a>.
What do you need from me to get started?
A short conversation about your goals, examples of websites you like, your logo and any existing content. We handle everything else — and can create a logo and write copy if you need it.
