Frequently Asked Questions

Our pricing starts at $500 for a basic one-page custom website. The final cost depends on your specific needs—number of pages, features, and design complexity. We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees. Every project is custom, so we'll discuss your budget and create a solution that fits. Contact us for a free estimate tailored to your business.

Most custom websites take 4-8 weeks from start to launch, depending on the project scope. Simple sites can be ready in 3-4 weeks, while more complex sites with e-commerce or custom features may take 6-8 weeks. We'll provide a timeline during our initial consultation based on your specific needs and requirements.

We build 100% custom websites—no templates. Every site we create is designed specifically for your business, ensuring your website reflects your unique brand and stands out from competitors. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Your business deserves a website that's as unique as you are.

Absolutely. All our websites are fully responsive, meaning they look and work great on phones, tablets, and desktops. With most web traffic coming from mobile devices, mobile-friendly design isn't optional—it's essential. We test every site across multiple devices to ensure a perfect experience everywhere.

Yes! We build websites using modern content management systems that make it easy for you to update text, images, and content without needing technical knowledge. We'll provide training on how to manage your site, and we're always available if you need help or want us to handle updates for you.

We can help you set up hosting and register a domain, or you can use your existing provider*. We recommend reliable hosting services that we trust, and we'll handle the technical setup. You'll own your domain and can move hosting anytime if needed—we'll never lock you in.

*Your hosting provider must support Node.js/npm to build and host Astro/Next.js sites. Most modern hosting providers meet these requirements, but we can verify compatibility before you commit.

We offer ongoing support and maintenance packages, or you can request changes on an as-needed basis. Small updates are quick and affordable. We're here for the long term—your website is an investment, and we want to help it grow with your business.

While we're based in Midland and love working with local businesses, we work with clients throughout Michigan and beyond. We can meet in person if you're local, or work remotely if you're elsewhere. Great web design doesn't have geographic boundaries.

We're a small business ourselves, so we understand the challenges you face. No layers of account managers or inflated prices—you work directly with the people building your site. We offer honest pricing, custom work (no templates), and a personal approach. We're invested in your success because we're walking the same path.

Just reach out! We'll schedule a free consultation to discuss your business, goals, and what you need from a website. We'll ask about your brand, target audience, and any features you want. From there, we'll provide a detailed proposal and timeline. No technical knowledge needed—we'll guide you through every step.

We believe in transparency about the tools we use. For most backends, we rely on secure, trusted third-party applications: Supabase for databases and storage, Sanity CMS for content management, Snipcart for e-commerce functionality, and Netlify as our trusted hosting provider. These are industry-standard platforms used by thousands of businesses worldwide, ensuring your website is built on reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure. We choose these tools because they're battle-tested, well-documented, and provide excellent performance—which means better results for your business.

We build websites with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) best practices built in, which helps Google find and rank your site. However, showing up in searches takes time and ongoing effort. We can help with basic SEO setup, and we can refer you to specialists if you need more advanced optimization.

We don't typically provide e-commerce functionality because custom e-commerce solutions often require higher budgets. However, we're open to discussing e-commerce projects if budget isn't a concern. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and we'll provide an honest assessment of what's possible within your budget.
