Website FAQ

The scope, price, ownership, and AI boundary in writing.

The point of a simple price is not vague scope. It is making the agreement legible before the build begins.

What does a website cost?

It is quoted per build rather than published as a package price, because the right scope genuinely differs — a focused rebuild and a full technical content library are not the same job. The sequence is: a free written read of your current site, then a conversation, then a written quote against the sitemap and content plan we agree on. Custom applications, e-commerce, portals, databases, and material additions after approval are scoped separately.

Why is there no price on the site?

Because a single published number would either overcharge a business that needs a smaller build or undersell the work for one that needs a larger one. Publishing a flat price also invites comparison on price rather than on what the site actually has to do. You get a real number in writing before you commit to anything, and the conversation that produces it is free.

How many pages are included?

There is no advertised page cap. The approved sitemap and content plan control scope. A business that needs detailed service, industry, product, quality, and educational pages should not be squeezed into a five-page starter site.

Do you write new content or just migrate the old site?

We preserve useful existing material, then research and write the missing commercial and educational content. Company-specific facts and technical claims go back to the client for verification before publication.

What does ongoing operational care cover?

Operational care covers hosting and SSL administration, automated production and form-delivery monitoring, deployment maintenance and rollback readiness, sitemap and discovery upkeep, Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools monitoring, and IndexNow notifications. It is operational care, not a monthly edit allowance; requested site changes are quoted separately.

Do you guarantee Google rankings?

No. We promise useful content, correct technical plumbing, careful migration, verified submissions, and ongoing monitoring. Search engines decide what they index and rank.

Will I lose the Google standing my current site has?

The migration plan preserves useful slugs and creates explicit redirects for anything moved. We update the sitemap and monitor Search Console after launch. No migration can guarantee rankings, but careless URL loss is preventable.

Do I own the site?

Yes. You keep the domain, site, and repository. If managed care ends, we provide a documented handoff rather than holding the site hostage.

Can I edit it myself?

Yes. You own the site and repository. If you decline or cancel managed care, we provide a documented handoff for maintaining it yourself or with another provider. If frequent self-service publishing is important, we can separately scope a protected content editor. Managed care does not include requested edits; requested site changes are quoted separately.

How fast is the build?

The production system is fast, but the schedule depends on source intake, fact verification, sitemap approval, and client review. We set the delivery date after kickoff rather than making an unsupported blanket promise.

Do I have to rebuild my website before working with you on AI?

A website is not required before AI work. If your site is already strong, we can start directly with the systems, processes, and knowledge work inside the business.

Is the What We Noticed note the Opportunity Assessment?

No. What We Noticed is a short note based on website content and build conversations. The Opportunity Assessment is a separate, scoped engagement: an on-site process inventory with measured baselines, ranked opportunities, an honest not-worth-automating list, a recommended first project, and a seeded company brain.
