Question 1

How much does a website cost?

Accepted Answer

Every project is different. Pricing depends on scope, number of pages, custom features, and timeline. I'll provide a clear, detailed quote after a brief discovery call.

Question 2

How long does it take to build a website?

Accepted Answer

A typical website takes 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex projects with custom functionality can take longer. You'll receive a clear timeline before any work begins.

Question 3

Do you provide photos, images, and website copy (text)?

Accepted Answer

Content is what makes a website truly work. If you don't have professional photography or written copy ready, you can hire your own, or I can connect you with trusted photographers and copywriters from my network whose fees are billed directly to you. Where stock imagery makes sense, I can source it for you and that cost is also passed on to you at cost.

Question 4

What do I need to provide before we start?

Accepted Answer

Typically: your brand assets (logo, colours, fonts), any existing content (text and photos), a few websites you like the look of, and a clear idea of your goals. Don't worry if you're missing some of it. We'll figure it out together.

Question 5

Will my website be mobile-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Every website I build is fully responsive and tested across phones, tablets, and desktops to make sure it looks great and works perfectly on every screen size.

Question 6

Can I update the website myself after it's built?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Depending on your needs, I can build on a CMS that lets you edit content without touching code. I'll also walk you through everything at handover so you feel confident managing it.

Question 7

Do you handle hosting and domain setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I can recommend reliable hosting providers, help you register a domain, and handle the full technical setup so you don't have to deal with any of it.

Question 8

What happens after the website launches?

Accepted Answer

I include a post-launch support window to catch any issues. After that, I offer ongoing maintenance packages covering updates, security monitoring, and performance checks.

Question 9

Will my website be optimised for search engines (SEO)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every site I build follows SEO best practices: clean code, fast load times, proper meta tags, structured data, and mobile optimisation. For deeper SEO work like content strategy or link building, I can refer you to a specialist.

Question 10

Can you redesign my existing website?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Whether you need a full visual overhaul or improvements to performance and UX, I can work with your existing content or start completely fresh. We'll figure out which approach makes more sense for your goals.

Question 11

What does the payment process look like?

Accepted Answer

Projects are split into milestones: a deposit upfront to kick things off, a payment at design approval, and the final payment before launch. I accept bank transfer and major credit cards.
