FAQ

Most custom websites fall between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on scope. Landing pages and smaller projects cost less; larger sites with ecommerce, integrations, or lots of custom functionality cost more. Every project gets a clear breakdown of what's included before any work starts.

A typical marketing or business website takes 4 to 8 weeks from discovery to launch. A landing page can be faster, and a larger redesign or ecommerce build can take longer. You'll get a realistic timeline before we start.

You do. Once the final payment is made, the design, code, and content are yours, and the site runs on hosting you control. You're never locked in to a single provider or platform.

Most clients bring their own copy, photos, and brand assets, but I can help shape structure and messaging. If you need copywriting, photography, or a brand identity, that can be added as separate scope.

Yes. Sites are built on a content management system (CMS) your team can use directly, so you can update pages, posts, and images without needing a developer for every change.

Launch is the start, not the finish. I offer ongoing support and maintenance retainers for updates, new pages, and iterative improvements, and I'm available to review performance and analytics as your site grows.

I can set up recommended hosting and provide ongoing maintenance including updates, backups, and security checks.

Marketing design is measured by conversion. It starts with a message and a goal, and every visual decision supports getting the viewer to act. General web design is more focused on usability and information structure.

Web design is the visual and UX layer, layout, typography, and how the site feels. Front-end development turns that design into working code in the browser. I do both, which means no detail is lost in translation.

Core Web Vitals are Google's measurements of loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability, LCP, INP, and CLS. They're part of Google's page experience ranking signals, and they directly affect how visitors experience your site.

Most sites have quick wins that cut load time meaningfully, often 30% or more in initial improvements. The total depends on your site's current state, hosting, and content, and we measure before and after to show real numbers.

Making your site usable by people with disabilities, including keyboard-only users and screen reader users. This means semantic HTML, proper heading structure, text alternatives, sufficient contrast, and more, typically following the WCAG guidelines.
