FAQs

Find out more information on the services I provide. Got a question not covered here? You know where to find me!

What's included in the monthly subscription?

The subscription covers everything: your website, hosting, updates, support, and ongoing guidance — no upfront fees required, except for large scale custom developments.

What happens if I want to leave?

You're free to take as much control as you want, or move your site. I can help with migration or handover if needed.

Can I use my own hosting or domain?

You can use your own domain name (and I'll help set it up). Hosting is best handled by me for performance, security, and maintenance reasons — but I can be flexible.

Can I manage my own content?

Yes — but I may recommend managing it for you, depending on the complexity of the site

I'm happy to discuss options, contact me below.

Why are your prices lower than agencies?

I work directly with local businesses and keep my overheads low. You still get top quality results — just without the agency price tag.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most websites are completed within 2-8 weeks, depending on the size and content. If you have a specific deadline, just let me know — I'll do my best to work around it.

Do you offer SEO or help getting found on Google?

I include on-page SEO with every site — good structure, meta tags & rich snippet data, low load-times etc. For off-page SEO, I can advise and/or recommend trusted partners.

What if I need extras like booking systems or automations?

I can help with booking systems, chatbots, integrations, automations and more. Everything is flexible and tailored to your business — just ask.
