Common questions
Will I own the site?
Yes. The code, the content, the domain, and the analytics belong to you. We document credentials and the deployment process so a future developer can take over.
Will it work on a phone?
Mobile-first by default. The build is tested on real phones and tablets before launch, not just browser sim. Over seventy percent of small-business site traffic is mobile. We design for that traffic first.
Will it show up on Google?
Local SEO basics are included: Google Business Profile setup, on-page schema markup, sitemap submission, and content structured for the city + service searches your customers actually type. National SEO competition takes longer; local search is the realistic win in 90 days.
Can I update it myself?
Yes for the parts that should change often (hours, photos, services, pricing). Yes via a simple admin or the platform's editor. Structural changes come back to us so the site stays fast and the SEO doesn't break.
What about hosting and ongoing cost?
Hosting on Cloudflare and a static CDN is roughly $20 per month at most small-business volumes. We bundle hosting + small maintenance in a monthly retainer if you want a fixed cost.
What if I already have a domain at GoDaddy / Wix / Squarespace?
We transfer the domain to a registrar we recommend, or we leave it where it is and just point the DNS. Either works. We handle the technical side and document the move.
Can you take payments on the site?
Yes through Stripe Checkout. Card data never touches the site, which keeps PCI scope minimal. PayPal smart buttons added on request. We never use Stripe Payment Links on a customer site (single-use Checkout Sessions only for fraud control).
