Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just use Squarespace or Wix myself?

You certainly could! However, you'd be investing your own time (10-30+ hours) learning the platform, making design decisions, troubleshooting technical issues, and likely feeling frustrated. Your time is valuable, and professional developers know best practices for performance and user experience that aren't obvious to beginners. I handle the technical complexity so you can focus on what you do best.

What if I need changes after the site is launched?

Minor updates are covered under the ongoing maintenance plan. If you prefer flexibility without a recurring plan, you can request as-needed service. Larger changes or new features are quoted separately with a clear estimate provided upfront.

Do I own the website?

Yes! You own all content and have full access to your site. I provide training so you can make basic updates yourself if desired.

What if I'm not happy with the design?

The custom development package includes up to 3 rounds of revisions. I work closely with you throughout the design process to ensure you love the final result before we move to development.

Can I upgrade from template to custom later?

Absolutely! Your previous investment can be credited toward a full custom development or web application project.

What types of websites do you build?

I build a wide range of websites including business sites, portfolios, personal brands, e-commerce stores, blogs, booking/scheduling sites, and more. If you have an idea, let's talk about how to make it happen!
