Question 1

How much does a website for a small business cost?

Accepted Answer

One flat, one-time price that I quote after you've seen your mockup. There are no monthly fees to me. Your only ongoing cost is your domain name, about $10 a year.

Question 2

Do I have to pay anything before I see my website?

Accepted Answer

No. I build a first version of your site and show it to you on your phone. You only pay if you want it.

Question 3

Do I own my website?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The domain, hosting and site files are set up in your name from day one, so nothing depends on me.

Question 4

Are there monthly fees?

Accepted Answer

No. Hosting is free on the setup I use, so after launch you just renew your domain once a year.

Question 5

Are professional photos included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I'm a photographer, so I shoot your shop, your team and your work for the site. No stock photos.

Question 6

What kinds of businesses do you build websites for?

Accepted Answer

Local shops in Redlands and nearby: barbershops, hair and nail salons, auto repair and detailing, restaurants, cafes, gyms and other service businesses, especially ones with no website or an outdated one.

Question 7

Can customers book appointments or request quotes on my site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I connect the booking app you already use, like Booksy, Square, Vagaro or Fresha, or add a simple quote request form that emails you.

Question 8

Will my website show up on Google?

Accepted Answer

Every site is built to be found: page titles and descriptions, structured data for your business, hours and location, and a link from your Google Business Profile. No one can guarantee a ranking, but this covers the basics most local shops are missing.

Question 9

How long does it take to get a website?

Accepted Answer

The first mockup usually takes a few days. Once you're happy with it, I shoot your photos and launch.

Question 10

What if I want to change something later?

Accepted Answer

Simple things like specials you can update yourself from your phone. For anything else I can make the change for you, and the site files work with any web developer.
