Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions before reaching out.

What's included in the starting price?

A custom homepage, the core pages your business needs, a contact form, an embedded Google Map, and SEO basics so people can find you — all mobile-friendly and fast. Add-ons like booking, a blog, or custom design scale the price from there.

How does billing work for maintenance changes?

Small, reasonable changes — swapping a photo, updating text, adding or removing a button — are included in the Hosting & Maintenance plan. Larger changes, like new pages or features, are quoted separately before I start.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The site, its content, and its domain are yours. Hosting and maintenance plans keep things running smoothly, but you're never locked in.

How long does a typical build take?

Most websites take 2–4 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and how quickly I get content and feedback from you. Custom software timelines vary and get scoped up front.

What if I'm not sure which option I need?

That's normal — reach out with a quick description of your business and what you're trying to accomplish, and I'll help you figure out the right starting point.
