Question 1

When will my website be completed?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend heavily on scope. A smaller site (1–3 pages with light animations) may take 7–10 business days, while complex builds with dashboards, full back-end systems, or integrations can take several weeks or even months. We’ll always provide a project-specific timeline after reviewing your requirements.

Question 2

How are payments structured?

Accepted Answer

Designer: Paid 50% upfront and 50% on completion. My consulting fee will be bundled with the designer’s invoice to ensure I’m compensated for planning and coordination.Programming: I prefer a milestone plan for larger projects:30% deposit to start coding (after design approval)40% mid-project milestone (after core functionality)30% upon completion and deliveryThis protects both you and me throughout the project.

Question 3

Do you offer flat-rate packages or hourly billing?

Accepted Answer

I offer both. Flat-rate packages work best for defined scopes, while hourly billing is available for ongoing or undefined work.

Question 4

Can I request specific design styles or do you provide templates?

Accepted Answer

I do not use cookie-cutter templates. Every website is hand-coded and tailored to your business, brand, and goals.

Will my site work on mobile devices and tablets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every build is responsive, meaning it adapts seamlessly to phones, tablets, and desktops.

Question 6

Can I edit or update the website myself after it’s built?

Accepted Answer

For quality control, updates aren’t made directly by clients. Since the sites are coded in environments like VS Code with frameworks, back-end logic, and deployment pipelines, it would be easy to accidentally break the build. My goal is to protect both your investment and my brand’s reputation. If you need edits, I’ll happily make them for you or set up a structured maintenance plan.

Question 7
