Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does website design cost so much?
A: That’s a fair question—many small business owners are surprised by the cost at first. Professional websites involve planning, design, mobile optimization, speed improvements, SEO setup, and testing to make sure everything works properly. My rate is $90/hour, and I only bill for the time actually spent working on your project, so you’re paying for focused expertise rather than inflated package pricing. The goal is to build a site that actually supports your business, not just something that “looks nice.”
Q: Will a new website actually help bring me more customers?
A: A good website should do more than exist online—it should help convert visitors into leads or customers. I focus on clear messaging, mobile-friendly design, fast loading speeds, and basic SEO setup so your site is built to perform well in search and guide visitors toward contacting you. While no one can guarantee specific results, a well-built website gives your business a much stronger foundation for online visibility and credibility.
Q: Can’t I just build a website myself using Wix or Squarespace?
A: You absolutely can, and many business owners start that way. The challenge is that DIY sites often take a lot of time to figure out and may miss important things like SEO setup, mobile optimization, or conversion-focused design. Hiring a specialist saves you time and helps avoid costly mistakes so your site works properly from the start. Think of it as investing in a tool that represents your business professionally online.
Q: How long does it usually take to build a website?
A: Most small business websites take 2–4 weeks depending on the number of pages and how quickly we gather content like text and images. I break the process into clear steps—planning, design, build, revisions, and launch—so you always know where things stand. Good communication keeps projects moving smoothly and prevents delays.
Q: Are there ongoing monthly fees after my website is finished?
A: The website itself is typically a one-time build cost based on hours worked. However, most websites do have small ongoing costs such as hosting, domain renewal, and optional maintenance. I offer hosting and support if you want a hands-off solution, but you’re never locked in—you can choose the option that works best for your business.
