Questions

Questions people usually ask

Straight answers to the things that trip people up. Tap a question to open it.

How much does a small business website cost?

Custom websites start at $249. Every business is different, so we quote your build to your goals, features, and content — a focused one-page site can start at $249, and larger sites with more pages or custom features are scoped individually. After launch, we keep it hosted and managed from $49/month. Either way you get an exact price up front, in writing, before anything begins.

Is there an upfront cost, or do I just pay monthly?

Both, and you'll know both numbers before we start. The website build is a one-time cost starting at $249, quoted to your project. Once it's live, hosting & management is $49/month — that keeps your site online, secure, and looked after. There's no contract on the monthly part; it's month to month.

What's included in the $49/month?

Everything that keeps your site healthy: secure, reliable hosting, an SSL certificate, automatic backups and monitoring, software and security updates, DNS and domain support, and your client portal, where you update your phone, email, hours, banner and social links yourself — plus a real person to reach when you need something. It's the difference between a site that just sits there and one that's actually looked after.

Is it cheaper to just build my own website with Wix or Squarespace?

The monthly sticker on a DIY builder can look lower — until you add up your own hours learning it, writing the pages, fixing what breaks, and keeping it secure and up to date. With us, a real developer designs and builds it around your business, and we host, secure, and maintain it for you. You get a better result and your time back. DIY makes sense for a hobby; a business that needs customers usually doesn't.

Do I own my website and my domain?

Your domain is always registered in your name and stays yours — with us or not. We build your site for your business and keep it running for you; if you ever decide to move on, we hand it over cleanly. You're never locked in.

What's the difference between the build and the monthly cost?

The build is the website itself — designed and developed around your business, from $249, paid once. The $49/month is the ongoing part: hosting, security, backups, updates, and the business details you keep current yourself in your client portal. Simple rule: the build gets you online; the monthly keeps you online and secure.

What's DNS, and do I need to understand it?

DNS is the set of behind-the-scenes settings that tell the internet where your website lives and how other tools connect to your domain — and no, you don't need to touch it. We manage your DNS records for you as part of hosting & management, so those confusing “please add this record” requests never land on you. Your email stays yours either way — we don't take over your inbox.

Can I update the website myself, or do you do it?

Both. Your phone number, email, hours, announcement banner and social links you update yourself in your client portal, included in your $49/month. For anything else, send the change from the portal and we quote it first at $125/hour, so there are never surprises, and nothing is billed without your OK.

Can you add online booking, payments, or a store?

Yes — those are our most popular add-ons. Online booking, taking payments, and small online stores all get built into your site and quoted to exactly what you need. You only pay for what you actually use.

What is Search Growth?

An optional $99/month add-on for live websites. Every site we build launches ready to be found on Google and in AI answers like ChatGPT. Search Growth is for when you want us to keep improving it: each month we look at what people searched to find you, make one improvement to your site based on that, check whether AI assistants name you for your main services, and send you a short note on what changed and why. Nobody can promise a ranking; this is steady work on what your customers actually look for. It's month to month, and you start or stop it in your client portal.

What if I need automation, custom software, or AI?

We build those too. They go beyond a standard website — client portals, internal tools, workflow automation, and AI wired into what you already use — so we scope and quote them with you separately. A website is often just the start.

What if I want to leave or move to another provider later?

No problem — the monthly plan is month to month, cancel anytime, and there's no contract. Your domain stays yours and we hand your site over cleanly. We'd rather earn your business every month than trap you in an agreement.

Will my website work on phones?

Always. Every site we build is designed to look and work great on phones, tablets, and computers. Most of your visitors will be on a phone, so that comes first, not last.
