Will I own my website?
Yes. With a one-off build, you own the website when I complete it. With a Website Partnership, you own it outright at the end of the 24-month minimum term. Subscription website services such as Wix, Squarespace and Yell keep your site tied to their platform, so you keep paying while you use it and can’t simply take the underlying website elsewhere.
How many pages are included?
I include up to five core pages in the Small Business Website. I scope Growing Business Websites around what you need and agree the number and type of pages with you before work starts.
What does the monthly option include?
My monthly option includes managed hosting, WordPress, theme and plugin updates, security checks, off-site backups, plus direct help and small changes within the agreed allowance.
What happens after the 24-month minimum term?
You own the completed website outright. You can move it to your own hosting, continue with one of my WordPress support plans, or agree an ongoing arrangement that suits your site.
Can I choose my own hosting?
Absolutely. With a one-off build, you are free to host your website wherever you prefer.
Can you help with copy, images and SEO?
Yes. I’ll discuss what you already have and what needs creating with you. I build in sound on-page SEO foundations, and can include copy or specialist work in the project scope where needed.
Can you add a shop, booking system or custom integration?
Yes. I can add eCommerce, booking systems, CRM and email integrations, live chat, bespoke software and other custom functionality. I scope and quote this work separately.
How long does a website project take?
I generally complete smaller websites within a few weeks. With a clear brief and everything I need to hand, I can sometimes finish in just a few days. Larger or more involved projects take longer.
Can you improve an existing website?
Yes. If a complete rebuild isn’t the right answer, I can review an existing WordPress website and recommend practical improvements to its design, content, performance or functionality.
