How long will my project take?
Once we’ve both agreed a start date and content has been provided, I will design your site over 10 days in a design sprint. We will then live edit collaboratively. This makes the entire process much more efficient and removes any obstacles.
Delivery of a project really depends on scheduling and current project statuses but you can expect from initial consultation to sign off for a non e-commerce site to be about 1 to 2 weeks providing all the content and images are provided at the outset.
However, a standard website typically takes around 2-4 weeks from beginning to end. Deadlines work both ways and we do require clients to be responsive in providing content and images.
What kind of clients do you work with?
I work with clients of all sizes from large to small across many business sectors. They all have one thing in common – they want to grow their business online and present themselves professionally to the world.
I have no graphics or professional logo, what can I do?
For some businesses they may not even have a logo defined or business imagery to work with. I can create a customised package that fits with your requirements and budget and can suggest staged phases for achieving a realistic goal for your business.
Can you guarantee me to be on page one of Google?

Do I have to update my site everytime there is an update?
Websites need constant updating for plugins and core files. This is vital to keep the website secure and performing well. I provide all website owners with a manual that details all the work required in order to keep your site updated but I do offer a website care plan that takes care of all the updates, backups, security monitoring etc. for you in a monthly or annual management plan.
Do I need to have hosting and a domain registered?
No. I can carry out your domain registration in your own name and recommend or provide hosting services. Quality hosting is crucial to a well performing website. I will always recommend our own Hetzner Private Managed Servers for hosting your website as they are optimised for WordPress and maintained by me.
