Questions people ask

How long does a brand and website project take?

Most run six to ten weeks. Brand foundations take about two, the site build another three to four, and the rest depends on how many pages and systems you need.

How much does a new website cost?

Branding and website packages start at $3,500. SEO and GEO basics are included, so you are not paying for that separately later.

I already have a WordPress site. Do I need to start over?

Every project starts with an audit. Most often a custom build on current tech is faster to launch and cheaper to keep.

Do you build online stores?

Yes, and I can also work with the platform you are already on: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace Commerce, or a custom headless build.

Will AI replace the person working on my brand?

No. AI speeds up my process, but it still needs my judgment to direct the work and review the final product before delivery.

What happens after my site launches?

You get the hand-off and you own the final product. Most clients keep me on a retainer for maintenance and enhancements, starting at $500 a month, with unused hours rolling over. Some clients bank those hours toward a larger enhancement later.
