09FAQ
Common questions
Something else on your mind? Ask on the consultation call.
How long does a project take?
Most websites launch within 1–2 weeks, depending on scope and how quickly content is ready. You'll get a clear timeline in your proposal.
Do I need to provide text and photos?
Your input on content is valuable, but it isn't required. I can help write copy and source professional imagery as part of the project.
Will my site rank on Google?
Every site is built with technical and local SEO best practices: fast load times, structured data, proper metadata and Google Business Profile setup. Rankings take time, but you start with a strong foundation.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. Sites can be set up for easy self-editing, or I can handle updates for you on a care plan.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain, content and code belong to you.
Which areas do you serve?
Businesses throughout Washington, Oregon and Idaho, including Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Spokane, Portland and Boise. Most projects are handled by phone and video, with in-person meetings available locally.
