We know starting a new website project can raise a few questions — here are some quick answers to help you feel confident moving forward.
Most standard websites are ready within two to four weeks. The exact timeline depends on how quickly we receive your content and feedback, as well as the scope of the project. Larger or more custom builds may take closer to six weeks. We’ll always keep you updated along the way so you know exactly where things stand.
Page speed plays a big role in how both visitors and search engines view your website. A faster site keeps users engaged, reduces bounce rates, and can improve your rankings on Google. Lighthouse scores are a great tool for measuring performance, accessibility, and best practices — but they’re not the full story. We use these scores as a guide, while also focusing on real-world performance and user experience to make sure your site feels fast and responsive where it matters most.
We hand code every website to ensure complete control over performance, design, and functionality. Site builders often add unnecessary code that can slow things down or limit what’s possible. By building everything from the ground up, we can create a faster, more secure site that’s tailored exactly to your business — without the extra bloat.
We’ve got you covered. For websites that need editable sections, we offer our Custom CMS add-on. This gives you a secure admin login where you can update specific parts of your site — like blog posts, menus, or service details — without touching the code. It’s a lightweight, fully personalized content management system that includes an easy-to-use media library.
You do. Even if we register the domain on your behalf, it’s yours to keep if you ever decide to discontinue our contract. We believe ownership should stay with you, no matter who paid for it. No fine print, no tricks, your domain is your property.
If a payment is more than three business days late, a $25 late fee will be added to your account. After ten business days without payment, your website will be temporarily taken offline until the balance is paid and the account is current.
No problem! Additional pages can be added anytime for a one-time cost of $100 per page. This is perfect for growing businesses that want to add new services or location pages. If you’re adding several pages at once, we’re happy to offer a group discount.
Refunds are available only if we’re unable to deliver a website that meets your expectations. Once development has started and work is underway, refunds are no longer guaranteed and are offered solely at our discretion. This policy applies to both lump sum and subscription plans.
Monthly payments are automatically charged to your credit card on file each month. Lump sum payments can be made via credit card. We provide secure payment options to ensure your information is protected.
Our subscription includes a 12-month minimum term. After that, it continues month to month, giving you the flexibility to cancel anytime. If you choose to cancel, the website itself remains our property, but you keep full ownership of your domain and any logo design included with your package.
If you cancel before the minimum term, the remaining balance for your website becomes due. This equals the total cost of the lump sum equivalent of your site (minimum $3000) minus any payments you’ve already made.
Yes, your subscription continues month to month after the minimum term. We spread the cost of your website over time instead of charging a large upfront fee, which means it typically takes a couple of years for us to earn what a one-time project would. Our goal is to keep delivering ongoing value — through updates, hosting, and support — so your website continues to grow with your business. Over time, the site should more than pay for itself.
Our monthly subscription spreads out the cost, making it easier to manage with smaller payments over time. A lump sum plan requires a higher upfront payment but saves you money in the long run since you’re covering all design and development costs at once. The right choice depends on your goals — if you value flexibility, the monthly plan is a great fit. If you’d rather invest upfront and save over time, the lump sum plan is the way to go.
Yes. All our websites are built with on-page SEO best practices — including fast load speeds, proper tags, and optimized structure. We can also offer extended SEO services if you’d like to boost your rankings further.
An ecommerce website allows customers to browse products, add items to a cart, and complete purchases online. It includes product pages, secure checkout, payment processing, and order management tools.
We recommend choosing a platform based on your goals, not whats trending. Shopify is ideal for many businesses, but we can also integrate with other ecommerce platforms. We can help you choose the best option for your business and budget.
Timelines depend heavily on size and complexity. Small stores can be completed in two to four weeks. Larger stores or custom systems will take longer. We provide clear timelines before starting.
Yes. We can connect ecommerce stores with POS systems for inventory syncing, order tracking, and in store pickup features. Compatibility depends on the POS provider.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your website appear higher in search engine results. It’s essential for increasing visibility, driving traffic, and connecting your business with potential customers who are already searching for what you offer.
On-page SEO focuses on optimizing elements on your website — like content, keywords, headings, and site speed. Off-page SEO, on the other hand, improves your site’s authority outside your website through backlinks, social signals, and online reputation. Both work together to improve your overall ranking.
SEO isn’t instant, it usually takes 3 to 6 months to start seeing noticeable results. The timeline depends on factors like your industry, competition, and how optimized your site is at the start. To see drastic improvements, or when starting from scratch, 6-12 months is oftern more relistic.
Yes. SEO is an ongoing process. Search engines frequently update their algorithms, and your competitors are always optimizing too. Regular updates, fresh content, and performance monitoring keep your rankings strong.
No one can guarantee specific rankings, and anyone who does should raise a red flag. What we can guarantee is a proven strategy designed to improve your visibility, traffic, and overall online performance over time.
