How long does the process take?Typically, websites take 4-7 weeks to complete and get ready to go live. However, it depends on how complex your website is, such as number of pages, coding involved, and features. We will guide you the entire way using our step-by-step process. This ensures a smooth progression and allows us enough time to complete our tasks. Once the site is designed, we send it to you to proof and once final approval is received, we will set a launch date together and strategize a successful launch plan.

What do I need to have ready before we start?You will need to provide us with: • Copy for the site (written verbiage that goes on each page) • Professional High-Resolution photos (staff and company images, products/services, etc.) • Logo (if you already have one) • Color Codes and Font Names (if you already have these established) The creation of these items can be added to your package at an additional cost if you do not have them. We can discuss these during the discovery call!

How do payments work?50% of the total quoted fee is due before we begin the project, and is non-refundable. This reserves your start date on our calendar. The remainder will be due before the service is launched or handed over. We accept Cash (if in person), Check (if located within the US), or Credit/Debit Cards (a convenience fee is added to the total). Recurring Payments: we email the invoice around 3 weeks before the due date with a reminder 5 days before payment is due. On select services we offer advanced payment plans with discounted rates depending on the selected payment plan (ex. monthly, 6 months, or annually). Annual Subscriptions (i.e. website hosting, domains, emails, etc.): we email a renewal notification 1 month before we invoice you. Payment is typically due 1 month prior to the expiration date, this ensures the service continues to run smoothly without interruption or complications.
