Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Costs
How much does a website cost, and are there any hidden fees?
We believe in transparent, fixed-price quotes. Unlike agencies that trap you in high recurring contracts, we offer upfront pricing with no mandatory monthly fees. What we quote is what you pay.
Do you charge ongoing monthly maintenance or management fees?
No. Once your website is built and launched, it belongs to you. We don't force you into ongoing monthly retainers. If you'd like us to handle updates or SEO down the road, we offer flexible, pay-as-you-go support whenever you need it.
Process & Timeline
How long does it take to build a new website?
Most standard small business websites take between 2 to 4 weeks from project kickoff to launch. The exact timeline depends on the complexity of your site and how quickly you can supply your text and/or images.
What do I need to provide before we start?
Not much! Just a general idea of your goals, any logos or images you have, and a rough outline of your services. If you don't have text or logos ready, don't worry—we also offer logo design, branding, and content guidance to help you get everything ready. We also have subscibe to several image libraries.
Will my website work well on mobile phones and tablets?
Absolutely. Every website we build is 100% responsive, meaning it automatically adapts to look fast, sleek, and professional on desktops, tablets, and smartphones alike.
Local SEO & Getting Found
Will my website appear on Google when people search in Aberdeen.
Yes. Every site we build includes Local SEO & GEO foundations as standard. We optimise your site structure, meta titles, and page content to help local customers across Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire, and your selected areas, find your business online.
Can you help me update my Google Business Profile and local listings?
Yes! A strong website works best when paired with a optimised Google Business Profile and local map listings. We can assist with local strategy to ensure you stand out in the local "Map Pack" search results.
Ownership & Tech
Do I own my website and domain name?
100% yes. Once the final invoice is paid, you own full rights to your domain, content, and design. You will never be "locked in" or held hostage by technical ownership tricks.
Can I edit and update the website content myself after launch?
Yes. We build user-friendly websites with intuitive editors. We'll provide straightforward training so you, or your team, can easily update text, add new photos, or post blog updates whenever you want.
Why Choose Us
Why should I hire a local Aberdeen designer instead of using a DIY site builder like Wix or Squarespace?
DIY builders take dozens of hours to set up and often end up looking unprofessional or ranking poorly on local search engines. Partnering with a local Aberdeen web designer ensures your site looks established, loads fast, and is built strategically to turn visitors into paying leads.
