How long does it take to complete a website?

It typically takes 4-6 weeks if I receive all the necessary content (photos, texts, and logos) promptly. The timeline may vary based on the project's complexity or delays in gathering information.

What platforms do you use to build websites?

I build user-friendly, mobile-optimized online stores on platforms that are 100% functional and adaptable. These platforms allow you to make changes to key areas like content or product updates while I handle the setup, structure, and design to ensure everything works seamlessly.

Will my website be mobile-friendly?

Yes, your website will be fully mobile- and tablet-friendly, ensuring it works seamlessly on all devices.

What if I don’t have photos or a logo yet?

We can start brainstorming ideas and planning the structure of your website. However, photos, a logo, and texts are essential to begin creating the final design. Let me know if you need help with any of these! I can recommend local photographers and graphic designers.

Can I make changes to my website after it's completed, and how do I edit it myself?

You will receive a detailed PDF at the end of the project explaining the website's setup, features, and how to manage certain aspects of your website, such as adding/editing products for an online store, services for a booking system, or updating images for a portfolio.

For additional changes, I’m available to assist—just reach out!

Is hosting and domain purchase included?

The price in each package covers my fee for designing and setting up the website. In addition, you will need to pay for the domain (approximately $20/year) and the hosting fee (platform fee), which depends on the features you need. Hosting typically ranges from $10/month to $30/month.
