Getting Started
How much does a website cost?
The cost depends on what your site needs to do. A small-business marketing site is a different project from a 200-product store with custom checkout. We’ll discuss your goals, content and timeline, then give you an estimate with the work and costs clearly listed.
Tell us what you’re trying to accomplish, and we’ll take it from there.
How long does it take to build a website?
A focused small-business site typically runs 3–6 weeks from kickoff to launch; larger or e-commerce builds take longer. The single biggest variable is usually content — having your copy, photos and brand assets ready can cut weeks off the timeline. We’ll give you a realistic schedule up front and keep you posted as we go.
Do I own my website when it’s finished?
After final payment, you own the website files and custom code created specifically for your project. Your content stays yours, and your domain remains in your name. Our pre-existing tools and frameworks remain our property; third-party materials have their own license terms. We’ll explain the files, accounts and platform limits covered by your agreement before we begin.
Do you work with clients outside your area?
We do. We’re based in Palm Coast, Florida and have built and maintained 450+ sites for clients across the country and beyond. Web work is naturally remote-friendly; a phone call, screen share and email are all it takes. Local clients are welcome to meet in person.
I already have a website. Can you just improve it?
Often, yes. We’ll review the current site and compare targeted improvements, a redesign and a rebuild. We’ll explain the costs and benefits of each so you can choose the approach that fits your goals.
Pricing & Process
How does the process work, step by step?
Briefly: (1) Discovery — we learn your goals, audience and competitors. (2) Plan — scope, sitemap, timeline and a fixed quote. (3) Design — we design the key pages and refine with your feedback. (4) Build — we develop the real site, fast and standards-compliant. (5) Review — you see it on a private staging URL and we polish. (6) Launch — we go live, set up analytics, and make sure search engines find you. Then we’re here for whatever comes next.
Do you require a big deposit?
We work in sensible milestones rather than asking you to pay everything up front or float the whole project ourselves. The exact split depends on the size of the job, and we’ll lay it out plainly in the proposal before anyone signs anything.
What do you need from me to get started?
Mostly clarity and content. The smoothest projects start with a clear sense of your goals, your brand assets (logo, colors, any photography), the copy or at least the gist of what each page should say, and examples of sites you like. Don’t have all of it polished? That’s normal — we help shape it.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
If you want to, yes — we’ll build on a system that matches how hands-on you want to be and show you the ropes. If you’d rather never touch it, our managed plans cover updates for you. We’ll plan the editing tools and support around how you want to manage the site.
WordPress
Should I use WordPress or something else?
It depends on the job. WordPress is excellent when you need frequent content updates, a blog, or a specific plugin ecosystem — and it still powers about 43% of the web for good reason. But for a fast marketing site that rarely changes, a hand-built static site is lighter, faster and far more secure. We choose the tool that fits your needs, and we’re fluent in both.
Why is my WordPress site so slow?
Usually some mix of: too many plugins, an overweight theme or page builder, no caching, unoptimized images, and cheap shared hosting. The good news is that most of it is fixable without a rebuild — caching, image compression, cleaning out dead plugins and better hosting often transform a sluggish site. We diagnose the real cause instead of guessing.
Is WordPress secure?
A WordPress site needs ongoing maintenance and security checks. Keep core software, themes and plugins current; use strong access controls, suitable hosting, a firewall and tested backups. These measures reduce risk, while monitoring and prompt updates remain part of caring for the site.
How many plugins is too many?
There’s no magic number, but every plugin is third-party code that can slow, break or expose your site. The right question isn’t “how many” — it’s “does each one earn its place?” We’d rather run ten well-chosen, well-maintained plugins than thirty random ones, and we audit them regularly.
Hosting, Domains & Cloudflare
What is Cloudflare and do I need it?
Cloudflare is a global network that sits in front of your site to make it faster (caching your content close to visitors worldwide) and safer (filtering attacks and bad bots before they reach you). For most sites, the answer is yes — and much of what it offers is free. We host and run many of our clients’ sites directly on Cloudflare’s edge.
Who controls my domain name?
You should — always. We’re happy to register and manage it on your behalf, but it stays in an account you own, in your name. Keep access to the registrar account and renewal details. If another provider currently manages the domain, we can help review the steps to put control in your hands.
Can you move my site off my current host?
Yes. Migrations are routine for us — we’ve moved sites off GoDaddy, Wix, Squarespace, aging WordPress hosts and more, typically with zero downtime and your email left untouched. We handle the domain, DNS, files and the careful cutover so you don’t have to think about it.
Why move away from GoDaddy?
We can compare your current hosting plan with alternatives, including renewal prices, included services, support and measured site performance. If a move fits your needs, we’ll explain the costs and handle the transfer.
Online Stores
Shopify or WooCommerce — which should I use?
Shopify if you want the store to just work: hosting, security, checkout and updates are handled for a monthly fee, so you can focus on selling. WooCommerce if you want maximum control and ownership and already live on WordPress — you get total flexibility, but you’re responsible for hosting, security and upkeep. We build both and will steer you to the one that fits how you actually run your business.
How much does a Shopify store really cost?
The Basic plan is $39/month (Advanced is $399/month), but the sticker price isn’t the whole story. Budget for transaction fees — 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic when you use Shopify Payments, and an extra cut if you use an outside payment gateway — plus any paid theme or apps. We’ll map the true monthly number for your situation before you commit.
Do I need a paid Shopify theme?
Not necessarily. Shopify’s free themes are genuinely good and a properly customized free theme can look completely custom. A paid theme can save time if it matches your needs closely, but it’s the customization and merchandising — not the price tag — that make a store convert. We’ll get the most out of whichever you choose.
SEO & Performance
Can you guarantee I’ll rank #1 on Google?
We can’t guarantee a #1 ranking. We can improve technical performance, organize your content and build useful pages around the searches that matter to your business. We’ll track results and adjust the work as search conditions change.
How long does SEO take to work?
Generally months, not days. Search engines need time to crawl and assess new or improved content, and authority builds gradually. Results vary by site and competition, so we monitor progress and keep improving the content and technical setup.
Does site speed really affect my rankings?
Core Web Vitals contribute to Google’s assessment of page experience, and faster pages can be easier to use. Speed is one part of a site’s performance; rankings and sales depend on several factors. We measure loading and responsiveness during the build.
