The exact scope depends on your existing website, content, and functionality.
How long does it take to build a website?

This may include clear content structure, page hierarchy, schema, crawlability, useful content, and other technical and content-related improvements.
However, no designer, developer, or SEO provider can guarantee placement in Google or AI-generated search results.

You may request adjustments to colors, typography, images, spacing, alignment, minor layout details, minor content updates, and other refinements within the original project scope.
Are revisions unlimited?
Unlimited revisions are included when stated in your project agreement.

Additional work can be quoted separately if needed.
What happens if I change the approved design direction?
A significant change in creative direction after approval may be considered additional work.
We’ll review the requested changes and let you know whether they can be completed within the current scope or require a separate quote.
Website support
What’s included in website support?
Website Support includes ongoing WordPress maintenance such as backups, software updates, security and uptime monitoring, plus additional services based on your plan. Selected plans also include time for content, image, layout, and other routine website updates.
How quickly do you respond?
Support-plan clients receive priority support. Most requests are reviewed within one business day, with completion time depending on the size and complexity of the request.
What counts toward my included update time?
Included update time covers routine website changes such as text and image updates, minor layout or styling adjustments, form updates, and other small website edits. New pages, major redesigns, custom development, migrations, malware cleanup, and complex troubleshooting may require additional support time or a separate quote.
Do unused support hours roll over?
No. Included support time resets at the beginning of each billing cycle and does not roll over. Your monthly plan also covers ongoing maintenance, monitoring, backups, and priority access to support whether or not you use all of your update time.
What happens if I need more time?
No problem. If your request requires more time than your plan includes, we’ll let you know before proceeding. Active Website Support clients can purchase additional support at our preferred client rate of $125/hour.
Can you support a website you didn’t build?
Yes. We can support existing WordPress websites built by another designer or agency. We may review the website first to identify any technical issues before ongoing support begins.
Do you support WooCommerce websites?
Yes. WooCommerce support is available with eligible plans and can include routine store maintenance, product or content updates, display issues, and basic troubleshooting. Custom functionality, complex integrations, or major store development may require a separate quote.
What happens if my website goes down?
If your website goes down, contact us as soon as possible. Clients with eligible support plans receive priority assistance based on their plan. We’ll investigate the issue and work to restore the site when it falls within your support scope. Third-party hosting, server, DNS, or external service issues may require coordination with the appropriate provider.
Can I cancel my monthly plan?
Yes. Monthly support plans require a 2-month minimum commitment. After that, you can cancel anytime before your next billing date, and your support will remain active through the end of your current paid billing period.
Does Website Support include new pages or redesigns?
Routine edits to existing pages may be covered by your included update time. New pages, major layout changes, website redesigns, custom functionality, or larger development work are considered separate projects and will be quoted before work begins.
Graphic design support
