Building a new website or updating an existing one can seem overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time navigating the process. Many business owners have similar concerns and questions when starting a website project. To help make the process clearer, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about website design and updates.
1. How much does a new website cost?
The cost of a website can vary based on your needs. A simple website with essential information and contact details can be very affordable, while more complex websites with e-commerce features or booking systems will cost more. We offer flexible, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, ensuring you get value for money. Investing in a professional website is a cost-effective way to grow your business.
2. How long does it take to build a website?
For most standard websites, the design and build process takes between 2 to 4 weeks. This can vary depending on how many pages your website has, the complexity of features, and how quickly you can provide content and feedback. For website updates, the timeline can be shorter depending on the work involved.
3. Can you improve my website instead of building a new one?
Yes! If you already have a website but it feels outdated or isn’t performing well, we offer website updates that can transform it. This might include refreshing the design, improving navigation, updating content, and ensuring it’s mobile-friendly.
4. Will my website work on phones and tablets?
Absolutely. All our websites are fully responsive, meaning they adapt perfectly to any screen size. With mobile browsing being more popular than ever, it’s crucial your website works flawlessly on smartphones and tablets.
5. What is SEO, and do I need it?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of improving your website so it ranks higher on search engines like Google. This makes it easier for potential customers to find you online. We include basic SEO in all our website builds and can offer more advanced SEO strategies if needed.
6. Can I update my website after it’s built?
Yes, we build websites that are easy to manage, so you can update text, images, and other content yourself. If you’d prefer not to manage updates, we also offer maintenance packages to handle updates for you.
7. What’s involved in a website update?
A website update can involve design changes, adding new pages, improving speed, or updating your branding. We assess your current site and recommend improvements tailored to your goals. Regular updates keep your site secure, fresh, and engaging for visitors.
8. Will my website be secure?
Yes, all websites we build include security features like SSL certificates to protect your visitors’ data. We also offer advice on keeping your website secure and can provide ongoing security updates if needed.
