Frequently asked questions
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, email our support team and someone will get back to you.
Why go with a custom site, when I can build one myself with something like Wix or Squarespace?
Site builders are optimized for volume, and not for ranking high on Google or standing out from the competition. Great websites need quality content, optimized images, and a high bar for accessibility design. Not to mention all of the time you waste teaching yourself material that doesn't impact your business and only distracts you from serving your customers. Partnering with us means we take all of that burden off of you. Design and future edits are as simple as sending an email and we take care of the rest.
If we partner with your team, who owns what?
You own the domain, (ex: google.com), your logo, (whether I make it or you have it in hand) any images you provide, or IP (ex: trademarked phrases) and we retain ownership of the assets for the site. Put simply, we keep what we build and you keep what you bring.
How many pages will we have for our site?
We build out up to 5 pages for our clients. While this varies by website generally this covers pages like: Home/Landing, About, Services, Contact, Portfolio/Past Work. Since business types vary, any of those can be swapped for other pages like Menu, Frequently Asked Questions, Testimonials, etc. Additional pages beyond the initial 5 can be added to your existing subscription, but will be custom priced depending on scope of work.
Does your team support sites with login or ordering functionality?
Not at this time, but we may support in the future.
Do I have to pay for copywriting?
Nope. Any copywriting work needed is handled by us and included with the price you pay.
What is the process if I want to cancel?
You may cancel at any time. No fees, and no hassle at all.
