Web Design Frequently Asked Questions

Web Design FAQ

Do you only work with businesses in Boulder?

We're based in Boulder and most of our clients are along the Front Range — Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Longmont, Broomfield, and Denver — but we happily work with clients anywhere. Local clients get the bonus of in-person meetings; everyone gets the same fast, personal service.

Can you help my business show up in local Google searches?

Yes — local SEO is one of our core services. We optimize your site's content and structure, set up or clean up your Google Business Profile, and build the local citations that help you rank for searches like "your service + Boulder." See our SEO services page for details.

Do you provide website hosting and maintenance services?

Yes! We offer complete website hosting and our 'Peace of Mind' Maintenance Plan as an additional service. Our pricing is competitive with our providers but we are able to offer personalized support — something big box companies cannot.

I already have a website. Can you take over maintaining it?

Absolutely. Our $89/month 'Peace of Mind' Maintenance Plan covers WordPress updates, security scans, backups, and content edits — even for sites we didn't build.

What is web design?

Web design refers to the process of creating and designing a website from scratch. It includes designing the website's layout, creating visual elements, selecting typography, and more.

Why do I need a website for my business?

Having a website is essential for any business today, as it provides a platform for customers to find information about your products and services, and most importantly, how to contact you or complete any desired call-to-action. A website can also help you to build brand awareness, establish credibility, and generate leads.

How much does web design cost?

The cost of web design can vary depending on the complexity of the website, the features and functionality required, and the design requirements. Because we bill by time rather than by project, simple small-business sites can start around $350, while sites with a CMS, e-commerce, or custom features start around $700. It's best to get a free quote to determine the cost for your specific needs.

How long does it take to build a website?

The time it takes to build a website can vary depending on the size and complexity of the site. A simple website may take a couple of weeks, while a more complex website could take several months. Our turnaround time is quicker than most developers so let's chat about your timeline and get started!

Can I update my website myself?

Most modern websites are built on content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, which allow website owners to easily update their website content without any technical knowledge. We can not only provide training on how to use the CMS, but can build your WordPress site theme and templates to exactly fit your needs for every page.

How do you optimize websites for search engines?

Web designers can optimize a website for search engines by using appropriate keywords, meta tags, and other on-page SEO techniques. Relevant, rich content is also extremely important to improve search engine rankings — we can help with all of it.

Can you design a website that is mobile-friendly?

Yes, every site we build is responsive and mobile-friendly, as more and more people are accessing the internet through mobile devices. In fact, the majority of website traffic now comes from mobile devices, and Google uses the mobile version of your site for indexing and ranking.

What happens after my website is launched?

After the website is launched, we can provide training on how to use the CMS, and offer website maintenance and support services such as our 'Peace of Mind' Maintenance Plan.

How do I measure the success of my website?
