FAQ
-
How much are your services?
This is a great time for you to take a look at our Services Price List page. The basic work hourly charge starts at $25/hr. Prices go up depending on the level of skill needed to perform the service.
That said, if you have a budget, lets talk about it and see what we can do.
-
Do you have bundling available?
We do have a few bundled prices for Social Media Management. In general we like to work with our clients and figure out what their need is and create a quote based on that need and the budget available.
-
Will you really stay in my budget?
As mentioned previously we know what it is like to be starting a business and have limited resources. We can’t do it for free (hey we are a small business too!), but we can work with a budget and go from there. The prices on our Services Price List are a good starting point when you are figuring out what you can afford. In the event there is something more we need to do and it will cost more, we will let you know, but the goal is to stay as close as possible to our original quote.
-
Do your prices include the purchase of a URL (domain), Hosting Plans or other platform services?
No. But once we discuss your needs we can help you with shopping around for those things if you haven’t already decided on and purchased them. We can advise what might work in your budget but the final choice and payment is yours.
-
What platform do you build websites on?
We prefer Squarespace because it is user friendly and saves us both time and money. For a quick store in which you have already arranged, priced and configured the inventory (and you want to manage it yourself) we like Square.
Knowing that many get started on a particular site and then realize they don’t have time to learn and actually build their own web presence, we can try to work with what you’ve got. But! We can’t guarantee a timely turnover if its a platform we have never used before, although we are happy to try!

What's the difference between "Basic Build" and "Beyond Build" for Website Builds?
A Basic Build is going to be a site that is simple, informational, and something to represent you or your business in mostly words, links and a few images.
A Beyond Build is a website with functions beyond informational like a store with inventory that needs to be created and managed, a gallery of work with links to individual pages, a page that requires links to another site like an online POS or Scheduling service.
You can always start with the basics and as needs grow and change, you can request more complicated services. Please note though, if you anticipate your needs WILL BE more complicated soon, go with the Beyond Build so that we can plan for those upgrades without to much interruption to the site we have already published for you. In some cases you might need to change the function of your site which could mean a platform change and complete rebuild.

What website platform should I use if I am on a budget?
Here are some links to pricing for a few of the major platforms available that say they are budget friendly. Try to match your needs to what they offer and write down the price of the option that works. If you aren’t sure what your needs are we can help!
We work with these the most:
We use it because it is user friendly, has great templates (that we usually end up personalizing) and gets a site online quickly. Has integration with Google Workspace (in the event you want a custom email address on Gmail).
A little clunky and not quite as user friendly but a great option if you have an inventory and you are already using Square for your POS.
Here are some others you could look at:
Some love it, but…. we’ve used it, we feel it’s kinda limited on its own for anything beyond a very basic website or blog. (See Elementor)
We haven’t tried it yet but this is suppose to turn WordPress into something akin to Squarespace. If we get the chance to try it we’ll let you know.
We haven’t tried it. We might some day if a client requests it. Until then it is merely an option to check out.
