Frequently asked questions
How much does a small business website cost?
Less than you might think to get started. Our Starter Site package — a simple, professional landing-page site — begins at $199 with a $25/month care plan. From there, your site grows with your business: add pages, a blog, CRM tools, online payments, or chat features whenever you're ready. Larger projects are quoted individually after a short conversation — no surprises.
How long does it take?
Most small-business sites launch within a few weeks of kickoff, depending on how quickly content and feedback come in. You get a timeline with your quote.
Do you use templates or page builders?
No. Every site is custom-designed and hand-built on modern technology. That's how you get speed, security, and a site that doesn't look like everyone else's.
Will my site show up on Google?
We build the full technical foundation: structure, metadata, speed, and sitemaps. Rankings grow from there with content and time — we'll show you exactly how.
