The things people usually want to know before getting in touch about a website. If your question isn’t here, just ask me.
How long does it take to build my website?
Most sites are ready for you to review within one to two weeks of me getting your logo, photos and business details. It depends on how quickly you can send those and how many changes you’d like.
Do I need to write my own copy?
No. I write all the copy for you. You’ll have the chance to review it and ask for changes, but you won’t be starting from a blank page.
What do I need to provide to get started?
A logo if you have one (I can work without one), any photos of your work or business, and a bit of information about what you do and where you work. That’s it. I take it from there.
Will my site actually appear on Google?
Every site I build is set up for search from day one: the right keywords, a proper page structure, and copy that targets the searches your customers are actually making. Most clients start seeing visitors from Google within a few weeks of going live. I can’t promise top rankings, and nobody honestly can, but I give your site the best possible foundation.
Can I edit the website myself after it goes live?
I look after the content for you, and that’s intentional. Clients who edit their own sites often change copy or headings that were bringing in their search traffic, then wonder why the enquiries dropped. Your yearly fee includes content edits, so if something needs updating, just ask me.
What happens after the first year?
A single yearly fee covers hosting and content edits. If you’d rather not renew, I’ll help you move your site to another host.
Do you work with any type of business?
I specialise in sole traders and small local businesses: tradespeople, professional services and local specialists. If you’re a large company or an online shop with complex needs, I’m probably not the right fit.
I already have a website. Can you improve it?
Yes. If your site isn’t performing, I’ll rebuild it from scratch. A clean rebuild is almost always better than patching up what’s there.
What if I already have hosting?
No problem. I can build your site and put it on your existing host. If I think it will slow the site down, I’ll tell you honestly.
How do I get started?
Fill in the form on the contact page. I’ll reply myself, usually within a few hours to a day, to arrange a short call and talk through what you need. No obligation and no hard sell.
