FAQ
Honest answers
How much does it cost?
Founding client prices for my first 3 clients: Starter $500 (up to 5 pages) and Standard $1,000 (10+ pages). Regular prices are $750 and $1,500. You pay in three steps: 30% to start, 35% at design approval and the rest before launch. The mock-up is free.
How long does it take?
About 2 weeks for a Starter site and about 3-4 weeks for a Standard site, depending on how quickly we can go over the design and get your content.
Who owns my website?
You do. Once the final payment is made, you own the finished site and its content. Third-party items such as stock photos and fonts stay under their own licenses.
Is maintenance required?
No. It's an optional add-on at $50/mo for hosting, updates, backups and a monthly form check. You can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. Or skip it and pay flat rates when you need a change: $25 for a small edit, $60 for a larger update.
What do you need from me?
Your business name, your current website if you have one, and a 15-minute call. Then your logo, photos, hours, services and any text you'd like included. If you don't have photos, I can use licensed stock until you do.
