Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before you reach out.

Common questions from contractors and small-business owners considering a new website. If yours isn't here, just ask.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on the size and scope of the site. After a short conversation about what you need, I'll give you a clear, specific number before any work starts—no surprise invoices. The ongoing hosting and care plan is a predictable flat monthly rate.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most small-business sites take a few weeks from our first conversation to launch, depending on how quickly content and feedback come together. Larger or more custom projects take longer. I'll give you a realistic timeline once I understand the scope.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The site and your domain are yours. The monthly plan covers hosting, maintenance, and ongoing care—it's not a license fee to keep your own site online.

What if I want to cancel or leave later?

You can cancel the hosting and care plan at any time. I'll help you move your domain and a copy of your site to a new host so you're never locked in.

What's included in the monthly hosting plan?

Hosting, uptime monitoring, backups, security updates, and routine text and photo updates to your existing pages. New pages, redesigns, and larger features are scoped and quoted separately so the monthly rate stays predictable.

Do you only work with businesses in Reno, Oil City, Franklin, and Titusville?

Those towns are my focus, but I also work with businesses in nearby Northwest Pennsylvania communities. Reach out and tell me where you're located.

What platform or technology do you use?

Sites are hand-built with modern, lightweight tools rather than a bloated page-builder or plugin-heavy CMS. That means faster load times, fewer security patches to manage, and no monthly page-builder subscription on top of hosting.

I don't have photos or written content yet—is that a problem?

No. Bring whatever you have, even if it's just rough notes, and I'll help organize the pages and shape the wording. It's easier to start from something than from a blank page.

How do I request changes after the site launches?

You email me directly. Routine text and photo updates are included in the monthly plan; anything larger gets a quick, clear quote before I start.

Still have questions?

Just ask directly.

Tell me about your business and what you need. I'll reply by email to talk through a practical next step.
