Small business web design questions.
Straightforward answers about website cost, timeline, redesigns, basic SEO setup, maintenance, and working together.
How much does a website cost?
Starter websites begin at $300 for a simple one-page site. This includes mobile-friendly design, a contact section, a clear call-to-action, and basic SEO setup. Multi-page websites are priced based on page count, features, and content needs. Monthly maintenance is available at a custom monthly rate. I'll always give you a clear quote before any work begins — no surprises.
What does the free website audit include?
The free audit is a quick review of your current website or online presence. I'll look at your design, messaging, mobile experience, and how easy it is for customers to take action (like calling, emailing, or requesting a quote). You'll get one clear improvement idea — something specific you could change to help your website work harder for your business.
How long does a website take?
Simple one-page websites can often be completed within a week or two, depending on content. Larger projects with multiple pages take longer, depending on the scope, content, and number of revisions. I'll give you a realistic timeline during our first conversation so you know what to expect.
Do you work with businesses outside Ozaukee County?
Yes. While I'm based in Ozaukee County and love working with local businesses, I can also work remotely with businesses anywhere. The process works just as well over email, phone, and video calls. Most communication happens digitally anyway, so location isn't a barrier.
Can you redesign my current website?
Yes. If your current website looks outdated, is hard to navigate, or doesn't clearly help customers contact you, I can help. A redesign can include updated layout, clearer messaging, improved mobile experience, better calls-to-action, and a more professional appearance — all designed to make your website work better for your business.
Do you offer monthly maintenance?
Yes. After your website launches, I offer optional monthly maintenance. This can include text and image updates on request, bug fixes, SEO checkups, Google Search Console monitoring, and a monthly performance check. It's an easy way to keep your site running smoothly without worrying about the technical details.
Do you guarantee Google rankings?
No — and you should be cautious of anyone who does. Google rankings depend on many factors, including competition, content quality, domain age, and ongoing effort. What I do provide is a basic SEO setup to help Google understand your website. This includes page titles, descriptions, local keyword structure, Google Search Console setup, and clean site architecture. It gives your site a solid foundation, but rankings are never guaranteed.
What types of businesses do you work with?
I primarily work with small businesses that have 1 to 5 employees — especially local service businesses like landscapers, plumbers, electricians, contractors, cleaning services, and small shops. The focus is on businesses that need a simple, professional online presence without a complicated process. If you're not sure if your business is a good fit, feel free to reach out and ask.
