How It Works

Share your vision

Tell us your ideas or vision, and then we’ll help you choose the best design for your business. Send us your text, logos, and images — if you have them. If not, we have a huge library of professional photos to make your site amazing.

We build your site

Our team of expert WordPress designers get to work bringing your vision to life. We collect your content and images so we can build your site as quickly as possible. Then we send it back to you for review, and once you approve, it goes live. Easy.

We maintain your site

Got questions?

Web Design Plan FAQs

General Questions

Are there any setup fees for the website design?

Yes, each website plan has a defined setup fee.

Is there an agreement and what forms of payment do you accept?

Yes, we will send you a scope of work and agreement so you know exactly what is included in your website project.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express debit and credit cards.

NOTE: Our website plans require a credit or debit card payment that will be run each month automatically to ensure no service interruption.

Why is there a monthly cost?

Every website includes reliable hosting and security, which comes with a monthly cost. Each plan offers a set number of monthly content edits. We’ll also handle ongoing updates for WordPress core, themes, plugins, and security. The monthly payment option means you won’t have to pay the full cost of your site upfront.

What happens after the 6 month agreement?

After 6 months, your monthly payments will automatically go down to $139 or $199 per month (depending on the specific web care plan). As part of our web care plan, you will receive ongoing updates, support, and security needed to maintain a healthy, high-performing website.

You also have the option to downgrade to our web hosting-only plan for $35 per month, or you can move your business website to a different hosting platform.

Do you have a satisfaction guarantee?

We will not deliver a website that you are unhappy with. We will work with you to improve your website design should you not be satisfied and ensure that you are delivered with what you originally asked for.

Do I own the completed website?

You will own the site once you have fulfilled the 6-month term agreement. After the contract term is completed, you can continue your plan month-to-month with us, which is what most clients do. Alternatively, you can move your business website to a different hosting platform.

Do I have to host my site through you?

Yes, hosting with us is required if signing up for one of our website plans.

Can I use a domain I already own?

Yes, we prefer that you use your existing domain. We will need the login information of your domain provider in order to connect it to the new website we build.

Do you provide business email?

Email services/hosting are not provided. We suggest you obtain business email with an email service provider like Google Workspace (G Suite), or Microsoft 365 (Outlook) which can be set up through your domain registrar.

Our Process

What if I need a logo?

We can design a logo for your business or organization at an affordable cost.  Most basic logos start between $250-350 when signing up for a website plan. Please inquire for premium logo design pricing.

Do you write content or provide photography?

You provide the content for your website, but for an additional fee, we can handle the writing for you. We also collaborate with a network of photographers and can connect you with one if needed. If no photography is provided, we’ll choose images from our extensive stock library.

How long does it take to build my website?

Each project is different, but on average we have a 7-page website launched within 4 to 6 weeks, a 15-page site launched within 6 to 8 weeks, and a 30-page site launched within 10 to 12 weeks. This timeline can be longer or shorter depending on the scope of work, if you have an existing site, and how proactive you are with content and revisions.

Is SEO included in the new website?

All websites include built-in basic SEO functionality, which includes SEO titles, meta descriptions, sitemap creation, and more. Once your site is complete, we’ll submit it to Google and Bing/Yahoo for indexing.
