Frequently Asked Questions

When customers find you online, a quality website immediately communicates that you're established, professional, and serious about your business. This positions you above competitors with poor or no online presence.

Your website works while you sleep - it's like having an employee that works for you 24/7/365 who never calls in sick and you don't have to pay. Edmonton/Calgary customers can find your services, see your work, read reviews, and contact you at 2 AM. Many of my clients get overnight inquiries that convert to morning sales calls.

Professional websites attract customers willing to pay for quality service. When you look established and trustworthy online, you can command premium pricing compared to competitors with poor online presence.

Local businesses I've worked with typically see 40-60% more inquiries within 3 months, with customers specifically mentioning how professional and trustworthy the website made them appear.

Professional copywriting for all pages, compelling service descriptions, SEO-optimized content that ranks well in Google, industry-specific messaging that converts visitors to customers, and engaging 'About' sections that build trust.

All you need to provide is basic business information during our consultation call. I'll research your industry, understand your services, and create all the written content professionally. You focus on running your business while I handle the writing.

I'll create all content based on your business expertise, then you simply review and suggest any changes. This saves you countless hours while ensuring your unique personality and knowledge shine through every page.

WordPress, Wix, GoDaddy, and Squarespace are template-based solutions with serious limitations: slow loading speeds (typically 40-60/100 performance scores), monthly fees, generic designs, poor SEO, security vulnerabilities, and bloated code. My custom approach eliminates all these problems.

My custom-built websites consistently achieve perfect 100/100 scores on Google PageSpeed Insights. This means faster loading, better search rankings, and higher conversion rates for your business—something template builders simply cannot deliver.

Custom code means your website is built exactly for your needs without unnecessary bloat. No plugins to break, no monthly security updates, no compatibility issues. Your website will remain fast, secure, and reliable for years to come.

While template platforms charge $15-50+ monthly forever, my websites require only a one-time payment with FREE hosting included. Over 3 years, you save $500-1800+ compared to template solutions while getting superior quality and performance.

No templates, no limitations, no looking like every other website. Every element is designed and built specifically for your brand, ensuring you stand out from competitors using generic template designs.

I'll find high-quality, relevant images for your industry, create compelling graphics, and even write detailed descriptions of your services based on our consultation. You don't need to prepare anything visual or written.

I research your industry thoroughly and create professional content that showcases your expertise. Whether it's describing your services, highlighting your experience, or explaining your process - I write it all.

Your website launches with professional-quality content and images from day one. As you complete new projects, we can always add your personal photos later to make it even more customized.

50% to start development, 50% upon completion, or custom payment schedules for larger projects. I'm happy to work with your business needs and cash flow timing.

Payment plans don't include interest charges or hidden fees. The total cost remains the same whether you pay upfront or in installments.

I work with business owners who understand the value of professional web presence. Let's discuss a payment structure that works for your situation during our consultation.

Click-to-call phone buttons for mobile users, direct email links, and your business address with integrated Google Maps for easy directions. All implemented at no extra charge.

You'll receive detailed inquiry notifications with customer information, their message, and how they found you. This helps you follow up effectively and track which marketing efforts work best.

Complete custom website design and development, all features and functionality as agreed upon, mobile responsiveness and performance optimization, SEO setup and local search optimization.

The only ongoing cost you'll have is domain name renewal (approximately $10 per year). Hosting is completely FREE! I'm happy to recommend reliable domain providers during our consultation.

Business hours, contact information, service descriptions, pricing updates, staff information, address changes, phone numbers, image updates, adding new services you offer, and any simple text changes. These are always handled at no charge because I believe in building long-term relationships with my clients.

Most updates are completed the same day, but I guarantee all simple content changes within 24 hours. You'll never wait long for important business information to be updated on your site.

If you prefer to make frequent content changes yourself or need extensive editing capabilities, I can implement a content management system for an additional fee. But for most businesses, my free update service is more convenient than managing their own CMS.

Google Business Profile creation or optimization, consistent business information across all online directories, local keyword optimization for Edmonton/Calgary searches, and Google Maps integration on your website.

Photos/Images, written content for key pages, and testimonials if available. If you don't have any, we can use quality placeholder content to start.

What you want to achieve with your website (generate leads, showcase work, enable online purchases) and any specific launch date requirements. This helps me prioritize features and structure the development process.

The most important thing to prepare is a clear idea of what you want your website to accomplish for your business. Everything else we can figure out together during our consultation process.
