FAQ
Answers to common questions
Clear guidance for small business teams planning their next website, infrastructure, or custom solution.
How much does a website cost for a small business?
Every project is different. Cost depends on your goals, timeline, and content complexity. We start with a free consultation to understand your needs, then provide 2-3 clear options with transparent pricing and tradeoffs so you can choose what fits your budget.
Do I need website maintenance?
Yes, for three key reasons:
- Security - Regular updates protect against vulnerabilities
- Performance - Ongoing checks keep your site fast and functional
- Search visibility - Fresh content and technical optimization maintain rankings
We handle maintenance so you can focus on running your business.
What's included in web development?
A complete solution from start to finish:
- Strategy - Free consultation to define goals and approach
- Design - Custom layout built for your brand
- Development - Fast, mobile-responsive site using modern technology
- Content - Help organizing and polishing your text and images
- Launch - Domain setup, SSL security, and go-live support
How long does it take to build a website?
Most small business sites take 2-4 weeks from approval to launch. Timeline depends on how quickly you provide content (text, images, branding) and how many revision rounds you need. We keep you updated at every step.
What is email infrastructure?
Professional email that actually works. This includes:
- Custom domain email - yourname@yourbusiness.com instead of Gmail
- DNS configuration - Technical setup so mail delivers reliably
- Security - SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to prevent spoofing
- Troubleshooting - Fixing delivery issues and forwarding problems
Most small businesses struggle with this. We handle it end-to-end.
Can I update the website myself?
It depends on your goals. We build sites for clients who want us to handle updates, but we can also set up systems where you manage content yourself. During our consultation, we'll discuss what makes sense for your time and technical comfort level.
Do you work with businesses outside Cleveland?
Yes, but Cleveland is our home base. We serve small businesses throughout Northeast Ohio and can work remotely anywhere. Local clients get the benefit of in-person meetings when needed.
What happens if something breaks?
We fix it. Sites we build come with ongoing support options. For clients on maintenance plans, we respond within 24 hours and handle issues at no additional charge. Even if you're not on a plan, we're available to help.
What's the difference between WordPress and custom development?
Speed, security, and scalability. WordPress is great for blogs but can be slow and requires constant plugin updates. We use modern frameworks like Next.js that are:
- Faster - Optimized performance out of the box
- More secure - Fewer vulnerabilities, no plugin conflicts
- Future-proof - Scales as your business grows
We'll explain which approach makes sense for your specific needs.
When should I hire IT consulting vs. DIY?
When technology stops you from focusing on your business. Signs you need help:
- Spending hours troubleshooting instead of working
- Professional email isn't working reliably
- You're not sure if your site is secure or performing well
- You need something technical done but don't know where to start
Our job is to handle technology so you can focus on what you do best.
