How long does a website project take?

Most custom websites are completed in 4-8 weeks from the kickoff call. The timeline depends on how quickly content is gathered and how many revision rounds are needed.

How much does a website cost?

Every project is scoped individually. A clean, effective business website typically starts in the range of $2,000-$5,000 depending on the number of pages, features, and complexity. Custom applications and larger sites cost more.

Can I update the website myself?

That depends on what you want to update and how often. Content management options can be built in where they make sense, and for smaller updates most clients just reach out directly and changes are handled quickly as part of ongoing support.

Do you offer website hosting?

Yes. Monthly hosting plans include server maintenance, backups, security patches, and email support, with one point of contact for both the website and hosting.

Common Questions

Most custom websites are completed in 4–8 weeks from the kickoff call. The timeline depends on how quickly we can gather your content and how many revision rounds are needed. I give you a realistic estimate before we start.
Every project is scoped individually. A clean, effective business website typically starts in the range of $2,000–$5,000 depending on the number of pages, features, and complexity. Custom applications and larger sites cost more.
We can't guarantee specific search rankings, no one can promise that. What we can say is that we've had very strong results, and we can back that up with data. Most of our clients see their search impressions double, often more.

A big factor is ongoing, fresh content. Our Portfolio Manager is ideal for adding relevant, project-based content, but a blog or even an events calendar can also make a real impact.

Google reviews are another important piece—they play a strong role in visibility and trust.

Over time, consistent effort and fresh content give search engines and AI searches more to work with, which helps your site rank higher and reach more people.
That depends on what you want to update and how often. I build in content management options where they make sense. For businesses that make frequent updates — like blog posts, project photos, or event listings — I can build easy editing tools into the site. For smaller updates, most clients just email or call me and I take care of it quickly as part of ongoing support.
Yes. I offer monthly hosting plans that include server maintenance, backups, security patches, and email support. Most clients host with me so there's one point of contact for everything. No finger pointing between a developer and a hosting company when something goes wrong. Month-to-month, no long-term contracts.
Not usually. I build custom sites without WordPress, page builders, or bloated themes. This means faster load times, better security, and a site that's built exactly for your needs without the limitations of a no-code platforms. If you're currently on WordPress and happy with it, I'm happy to explain the tradeoffs — but most clients find that a custom-built site outperforms their WordPress site significantly.
