Question 1

How much does it cost and do you require payment upfront?

Accepted Answer

It depends — pricing can vary based on the size and complexity of the project.Most full website builds fall somewhere between $2,500 and $8,000. I recently completed a $5,000 web project, and two weeks later, I did a small $200 social media job.I’ve also worked with clients just starting out who chose a one-page site or payment plan to fit their budget.It really comes down to what you need. Let’s hop on a quick call and I’ll give you a tailored estimate. To get started, a 25% deposit secures your spot in the schedule.Once the design is approved, a second 50% is due so we can move into the build phase. The remaining 25% is paid when your site is ready to launch.If we’re all set on my end but the site can’t go live just yet — say, you’re still gathering content or images — I may issue a progress payment based on the work that’s already been completed. You can also see more terms and conditions here. Because this is a custom, collaborative process with revisions and approvals built in, refunds aren’t typically necessary. You’ll have the chance to review and approve the work at every stage — from strategy to final design — so there are no surprises.Not 100% sure we’re a match? No pressure — we can start small.Instead of jumping into a full $2,500 five-page website, we can begin with a Website Strategy session (about $800).This gives us both a chance to get aligned, test the waters, and make sure your vision is fully understood before moving into a bigger build.

Question 2

Do I really need a custom site?

Accepted Answer

Not always. But if you’re growing, you need a site that grows with you.Templates are fine — until they’re not. I’ll tell you when it makes sense.

Question 3

What if I already have a website?

Accepted Answer

Great. Let’s look at what’s working, what’s not, and decide if a refresh, rebuild, or fix-up is the right move.

Question 4

How long does the design process take and how many revisions are included?

Accepted Answer

Creating a website takes time.Whether your website is huge or tiny, collaboration and design planning are necessary to make sure everything functions as intended and looks fantastic.That being said, the scope of the project and the functionality required can have an impact on the time frame. Most small sites are completed within 2 weeks from the proposal acceptance and provision of content. Larger site can go up to 4 weeks. Two rounds of revisions as a part of your quote. I will come up with what I think will work for you, but in most cases, a few things will need to be modified. You provide feedback and I will revise the design and resubmit for approval.Each time you receive a copy of the design back for approval, that is a round of revision. Take your time on the first round to look through and give us as much information about what you like and don’t like, so we can do them all in one go and you only use one round of revision for the changes.

Question 5

Do you offer maintenance for websites on other hosting?

Accepted Answer

Keeping it simple, a small business website with 5-10 pages and no extra complexity fits in well with the Essential package starting at $69 per month.

If you have a more complicated website you will be looking at the Advanced plan starting at $89 per month. Pricing is based on websites built on WordPress.

Essential package includes:

– Monthly Full Off-Site Automated backups prior to every update (files and database)

– Monthly Management of all core, plugin, and theme updates

– 24/7 Security & Malware Monitoring

– 24/7 Real-Time Uptime Monitoring
404 monitoring

– Monthly Service Report (optional)

– Email Support

Advanced packages includes all Essential essential packages plus:

– Automatic Database Maintenance

– 30min basic content updates

– Broken Link checking

– Performance Optimization

Let’s chat and we can clarify which plan you would be on if you choose to have us host and maintain your website.

Question 6

Can I terminate hosting or maintenance support services at any time?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel hosting or maintenance packages at any time, they will expire at the end of that month.I ask that you provide a 2 weeks notice if you’re planning to move your site elsewhere so I can prepare your website files for you.Moving onto a new host is easy, and if you choose to stay with Siteground, but on your own hosting account, the process will be as painless as possible.If you choose to host elsewhere, I will package up your site so you can move it to your new host. No hard feelings!
