Local Website Design FAQ’s

Choosing the right website package is more than just a list of features; it’s about finding a solution that aligns with your business goals and budget.
We’ve designed our packages to be flexible and scalable, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your current needs, with the ability to grow as your business evolves.

The timeline for a new website varies depending on the package you choose and the complexity of the project. Generally, a standard website can be ready within 2-4 weeks.

However, projects with a large number of pages or custom features may take longer. Our process is collaborative, so timely feedback from you is a key factor in ensuring a smooth and efficient launch.

We work with you to set realistic deadlines and keep you informed every step of the way.

Yes, the monthly management fee is a crucial part of our service. While we build your site, this fee ensures it remains secure, up-to-date, and performing optimally after launch.

This includes regular software and plugin updates, security monitoring to protect against threats, and routine backups to safeguard your data.

Without this ongoing maintenance, websites can become vulnerable to cyberattacks and performance issues.

Our pay-as-you-grow model is designed to help start-ups and small businesses get a professional website without a large, single payment.

Instead of a significant upfront cost, you can spread the total cost over a set number of months.

A small monthly fee then continues to cover essential services like hosting and management, allowing you to manage your cash flow while still benefiting from a powerful online presence.

Yes, absolutely. Our packages are a great starting point, but we understand that every business has unique needs.

If you require specific functionality, a custom application, or an integration not covered in our standard packages, we can create a bespoke solution tailored to your exact requirements.

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is essential for website security. It creates an encrypted connection between a user’s browser and your website’s server, protecting sensitive information like login details or payment information from being intercepted.

In addition to building trust with your visitors, having an SSL certificate is a key ranking signal for Google, meaning sites with an SSL certificate are more likely to rank higher in search results.
