1. How long does it take to design a website?
Our basic web development is completed within two weeks. This assumes that all the requirements are provided immediately and that you can provide revisions and QA quickly.
2. Does the base cost of the website include domain names and website hosting?
The service covers the website build and the site’s launch as well as 20 days of support after launch. Name registry, hosting, and server costs are exclusive of this service. However, we would be more than happy to help you with obtaining hosting and domain names through our service providers that have great products and quality customer support. The fee for this is not included in your webdesign fee unless otherwise stated.

5. Why won't you launch on a Friday?
Development best practices discourage launching of sites on Fridays. Most sites represent business that run on weekdays only, weekend launches may cause unforeseen errors that cannot be addressed in real time as our staff and most clients do not work on weekends
6. Do you perform SEO services when you design websites?
Even though we do build every website based on architecture that’s optimized for SEO, the basic website does not include full SEO services. However, to add content and fully SEO optimize your site is an additional service, many people don’t have content ready to go, so they prefer to retain our SEO services at a later date when they have enough content and cross promotions ready.
We will however also create and add static page content as well as blog posts for those who may need additional assistance with this service. Please feel free to inquire about these services when you speak with one of our representatives.
7. Where will you build my website?
We can create your site on our own servers first and would only upload to your own website after the Final QA and revisions.
We also have the option to create your site on you hosting server if we help you obtain the hosting and domain services through our providers. Each option will be fully discussed to get the option that best suits your needs.
8. How many changes can I make before I incur additional costs?
- There are two revision points for you. First is after the first week of development where we have already created a live site of your website based on the mockups and specifications you selected. Last is after the second week of development where we present the site itself for any last-minute revisions.
- Please note that all last round revisions would have to be minimal. No design changes or extensive work that requires more than half a day to execute are permitted at this stage.
9. Can I get access to my site while it is in development?
No. We only provide access during the first revision point and at the last revision before we upload to your hosting or turn over your account to you. Our developers work with the site directly and we want to ensure that we would not encounter any issues in developing your site related to multiple access during development or inadvertent changes done while we are still in the process of developing.
