Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I hire a professional web developer?
The simple answer is: I can take you to the next level.
Building a very simple website is easy, but building an online business is not. From SEO to page speed to marketing to beautiful, cohesive designs, there’s a science and an art to getting noticed, getting clicks, getting customers and keeping them for a long time.
Whatever your goal is online, I can help you. Whether you are just getting started or already own a large e-commerce store, I can increase your profits and improve your online presence.
Perhaps the most important takeaway here is that hiring me pays for itself, because the return on investment can be 10x or more.
How long does it take you to build a website?
We work on clients’ websites in order of when they book our services. We will let you know how many other clients are ahead of you when you contact us.
From the moment we begin building your website, the time it takes to build depends on the size of your website and the amount of customization needed. Smaller one-page websites can be done in as little as a week, whereas larger ecommerce sites with photography and other addons can take up to 2 months or more before they are ready to go live.
How will you come up with a design tailored to me/my business?
I work with my partner in life and in business, Ginny Erickson, who is an artistic genius. She is a published fashion photographer and artist whose work has been on the cover of magazines and displayed in galleries. You can see her photography here.
We work together and carefully curate designs specifically for your brand. Unlike most designers who only have one particular style, we pride ourselves in being able to come up with a style that works for you. From luxury jewelry brands to public speakers to outdoorsmen, we can make you stand out and appeal to your audience.
Sometimes we will hire out graphic design work for specific things such as logos, but we direct the design ourselves while working closely with you.
Will I have full control over my website after you build it?
Yes. Many web developers want you to be dependent on them after they build your website, and they will try to control:
- Your website’s domain
- The login credentials to your website’s backend/CMS
- The email or phone number linked to your website
This can effectively prevent you from making any edits to your own website. With me, you have two choices:
- Once your website/project is complete, we will give you all login credentials and transfer all accounts connected to your website into your name. With this option, you will have full control, but hosting, security updates, and website edits will be up to you. You can however come back to us at anytime if you would like to hire us to help you again.
- Once your website is complete, you can pay us a monthly or annual fee to continue managing your website for you. We will take care of hosting, plugin and security updates, and if you choose, we can also do content updates or site edits for you at an hourly rate. With this option, we’ll only give you access to what you request specifically, as it can cause problems and security concerns to have multiple parties managing the same accounts/content.
Whichever option you choose, the keys to your kingdom can be transferred to you at any time, so you can rest easy knowing your website will ultimately always be in your hands.
What if I want to hire you for one little task or service?
As long as it is listed above or relates to web development and design, we can probably do it! If it’s listed above, it will be at the list price. If it is something different or unique, it will be at an hourly rate.
If you have any questions, contact us and we can work out the details.
Are plugin costs included in the package price?
Many essential plugins, such as Elementor Pro, are included or offered at a significantly reduced cost through my enterprise licensing. This helps you save money while still accessing premium tools. However, some specialized plugins (e.g., memberships, course platforms, or WooCommerce addons) may need to be purchased separately. I’ll work with you to determine what’s necessary for your site and keep costs as low as possible.
Do I need to pay for hosting?
Yes, hosting is essential to make your website live. You have the option to choose your own hosting provider or let me handle it for you. For WordPress sites, I use Hostinger (basic) or Cloudways (premium), which are both easy to manage. If your site is built on Shopify, you’ll need to subscribe to a Shopify plan directly. My hosting service includes maintenance, regular backups, and robust security features, so you can focus on your business without worrying about the technical details.
How do I pay you?
Once you decide you want to hire us, we’ll send you an invoice for half the cost estimate up front. The remainder is due upon project completion. If there are significant changes or extensions in the project, another invoice may be sent in the middle of a project.
We are also open to payment plans for those that need help.
We accept online payments through Square, Zelle, Paypal, Venmo, or bank transfer and soon we will accept Stripe payments on our website (ask us if you want to pay this way). We also accept cash if you happen to be in Western North Carolina.
Do you accept Payment Plans?
We understand that investing in your website is a big decision, and we’re here to make it easier. That’s why we offer flexible payment plans for all our packages. Here’s how it works:
- Pay an initial deposit 25% to 50% to secure your project.
- Split the remaining balance into manageable monthly installments.
- Enjoy a stress-free experience while we bring your vision to life.
Need a custom payment plan? Let us know, and we’ll work with you to find the best option!
Are you hiring?
At the moment, I work independently with other independent contractors on a per project basis. If you are interested in working with me, let me know. You may be able to help me with a project.
In particular, if you are a graphic designer, marketing expert, or branding expert, reach out and I’ll let you know if there’s ever a project you can help me with.
Why choose me?
I'm honest
I believe in transparency on the internet and I provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. What you see is what you get.
I'm personal
I’ll work with you one-on-one to bring your vision to life—without the need for an overpriced, impersonal team with hidden fees and agendas. One skilled, dedicated developer can deliver even better results.
I empower you
I don’t just build your website—I teach you how to manage it. From updating pages to adding new content, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to take control, if you choose.
Fuel something greater
Your investment helps me continue developing web applications, like Internect, that I sincerely believe will make the internet and world a better place.
I’m also really good at what I do. Try me!
