FAQ

Questions,
answered honestly.

Cost, timelines, technology, what is included — the things every business asks before signing a contract.

How much does a website cost? +

Most marketing sites run $3,000-$15,000. Web apps and e-commerce builds run $8,000-$50,000. The right number for your project depends on scope, integrations, and content. We share a fixed quote before any contract.

How long does it take to build a website? +

Typical marketing sites ship in 3-6 weeks from kickoff. Custom web apps run 6-12 weeks. We share a concrete timeline with milestones before starting.

What is Core Web Vitals and why does it matter? +

Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) are Google's real-user performance metrics. Sites that pass rank better, convert better, and bounce less. Every site we build is designed to pass on mobile from day one.

What is AI integration for a website? +

Practical AI features wired into your site: chatbots, intelligent search, content personalization, lead qualification, automated workflows. We integrate OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and self-hosted models based on what fits.

Do you work with existing websites or only build new ones? +

Both. We do redesigns, rebuilds, performance optimizations, security hardening, and feature additions to existing sites. Many engagements start as a rescue, not a rebuild.

What platforms and technologies do you use? +

For marketing sites: Next.js, Astro, plain HTML+Tailwind, or modernized WordPress. For web apps: React, TypeScript, Node, PHP/Laravel. For headless CMS: Sanity, Contentful, Strapi. We pick the right tool, not the trendiest.

Do you offer website maintenance after launch? +

Yes. Monthly retainer covers content updates, security patches, performance audits, and uptime monitoring. See our website-updates page for details. Month-to-month, no long contracts.

What information do I need to provide to start a project? +

A clear sense of your audience and goals, your existing brand assets (logo, colors, fonts) if any, and access to your existing site/domain/analytics. We provide a structured kickoff brief that walks through everything we need.

Do you offer SEO services? +

Yes — technical SEO is baked into every build (schema, sitemaps, Core Web Vitals, internal linking). For ongoing keyword strategy and content writing, we partner with vetted SEO writers.

How do I get a quote? +

Fill out the contact form with a few sentences about your project and timeline. We respond within one business day with either a fixed quote or a 30-minute discovery call to scope properly.
