Website Pricing FAQ
Common questions about small business website costs.
What's the catch with 'I build it first'?
No catch. I build your entire website before you pay a dime. You review it, request changes, and only pay when you love it. If you hate it, you walk away. I take the risk because I'm confident in my work.
Can I update the text and images on my site?
Just tell me what you need changed and I'll handle it - usually within 24-48 hours. That's what your monthly changes are for.
What counts as a 'change'?
Reasonable updates you'd expect - swap some images, update your hours, change text on a page, add a new service, update pricing. You can bundle a few things into one request. If it takes me under an hour, it's a change.
What if I need a brand new page built?
New pages or major redesigns are $25-50 extra depending on complexity. I'll always tell you upfront before doing any extra work - no surprise invoices.
What if I don't like the design?
We'll fix it. I do revisions until you're happy - that's the whole point of building it first. Most clients love the first draft, but if something's off, I'll adjust it.
Are there any hidden fees?
None. The price you see is the price you pay. Hosting, SSL, analytics, updates - it's all included. The only extra cost is if you request new pages beyond your plan.
What happens if my site goes down?
I monitor uptime and fix issues fast. Your site is hosted on reliable infrastructure with automatic backups. If something breaks, I'm on it - you don't need to panic or call anyone.
How do I know SEO is actually working?
You get real data from Google Search Console - actual clicks, impressions, and rankings. Not vanity metrics from some random tool. You'll see exactly where you show up and how often people click.
What if I want to cancel?
Cancel anytime. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no guilt trip. If you're on an annual plan, I'll refund the prorated amount. And you keep your website files.
Do I actually own my website?
Yes. The design, the code, the content - it's all yours. If you ever leave, I'll export everything and hand it over. I don't hold websites hostage.
How much does a small business website cost?
A professional small business website typically costs between $500-$1,000 per year with my plans. That includes hosting, SSL, analytics, and monthly maintenance - everything you need. Unlike agencies charging $3,000-$10,000 upfront plus monthly hosting fees, my affordable web design packages bundle everything into one predictable price with no surprise costs.
How long does local SEO take to show results?
Most small businesses start seeing local SEO results within 3-6 months. You'll typically see improvements in Google Business Profile visibility first, then organic rankings follow. Local SEO is a long-term investment - the businesses that stick with it for 12+ months dominate their markets. I provide monthly reports so you can track progress from day one.
What's included in website maintenance?
Website maintenance includes security updates, plugin updates, uptime monitoring, daily backups, and content changes. Depending on your plan, you get 2-unlimited content changes per month - things like updating text, swapping images, adding services, or adjusting pricing. I handle all the technical stuff so you can focus on running your business.
Is affordable SEO actually effective for small businesses?
Yes - affordable SEO works extremely well for local small businesses. You don't need a $5,000/month enterprise SEO package to rank in your city. Local SEO focuses on your specific service area and industry keywords. My small business SEO packages start at $100/month and include everything needed to compete locally: Google Business Profile optimization, on-page SEO, and local keyword targeting.
Do I need SEO if I just launched a new website?
A new website without SEO is like opening a store with no sign - people won't find you. Basic SEO should be built into your website from day one: proper title tags, meta descriptions, fast loading speeds, and mobile responsiveness. If you want to rank for local searches and get organic leads, adding a local SEO package accelerates your visibility significantly. Starting SEO early means faster results.
