Frequently Asked Questions
Here's some of the most common questions we get from the incredible people we work with.
Pricing & Packages
How much does a Website Cost?
Most websites start at $1,200, but the final cost depends on what your business actually needs. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all packages — every business is different.
Here's what influences pricing:
Number of pages: A simple 3-page site costs less than a comprehensive 10-page site with detailed service pages
Copywriting needs: Starting from scratch with brand messaging takes more time than refining existing content
Features: Online booking systems, blog setup, or custom integrations add to the scope
Branding: If you need logo design or visual identity work, that's factored in
SEO complexity: Local service businesses with multiple service areas require more strategic SEO work
I tailor each package to your specific goals and work within your budget. Reach out for a free quote and I'll give you an exact price based on what you need.
How long does it take to build a website?
Timelines vary based on project scope:
Starter Package: 1 week from kickoff to launch
Business Upgrade: 1-2 weeks
Full Brand Launch: 4-6 weeks
Most service business projects take 2-4 weeks from start to launch. If you already have photos, branding, and a clear list of services, it can move even faster. I build everything in Framer, so updates and changes are quick even after the site goes live.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I understand that investing in a quality website is a significant decision for small businesses. I structure payments to make it manageable:
50% deposit to begin work
50% due upon launch
For larger projects that include branding, extensive copywriting, or advanced features, we can discuss a custom payment schedule that works for your cash flow. My goal is to make professional web design accessible without breaking the bank.
What if my timeline needs to change?
I'm always flexible to adjust project timelines within reason — I understand that things happen! Whether you need to push back our kickoff date or need more time to gather content, just let me know and we'll work it out.
If you need to pause the project for an extended period, we can put things on hold and pick back up when you're ready. I do ask that we respect each other's time and other commitments — if massive delays happen without communication, we may need to revisit the timeline and potentially the project scope.
Communication is key. As long as we're talking and you keep me in the loop, we can make almost any timeline work.

SEO & Online Visibility
Will my website rank on google?
Can a website help me rank better on google?
Yes — every site I build includes SEO-focused structure, fast loading speeds, mobile-first design, and clear service pages that improve your chances of showing up in local searches like "contractor near me" or "Raleigh pressure washing company." When you pair the website with reviews and good content, ranking becomes much easier. SEO typically takes 3-6 months to show results, but I optimize every technical element from day one to give you the best foundation.
What about showing up in ChatGPT and AI search tools?
Ranking higher in Raleigh requires a combination of on-site and off-site factors. I help service businesses rank locally by creating dedicated pages for each service (like /tile-installation or /hvac-repair), structuring content with proper headings that include location keywords, optimizing your Google Business Profile, ensuring NAP consistency across directories like Yelp and Angi, and setting up your site for fast performance. Most businesses see noticeable improvements within 3-6 months when combining a well-optimized website with consistent reviews and content.
Do I need a blog for SEO?
To add a video to your site, click the “Insert” button and navigate to the “Media” section. Then, drag and drop a video component onto the Canvas.
What pages should my service business website include?
For service businesses (contractors, detailers, tradespeople), I recommend: Essential pages: Home with clear value proposition, Services/Work gallery with before/after photos, About page with your story and expertise, and Contact with multiple ways to reach you. Individual service pages: This is critical for SEO. Each service you offer should have its own dedicated page like /tile-installation, /bathroom-remodeling, or /pressure-washing to help you rank for specific local searches. Optional: Testimonials, FAQ, Service Area page listing cities you cover, and Blog for organic traffic.

Design & Technical
What platform do you design on?
I design exclusively on Framer because it gives me complete creative control to build truly custom designs (not template-based sites), loads lightning fast which is crucial for SEO, makes updates quick to implement even after launch, automatically optimizes for mobile phones and tablets, and has a built-in CMS perfect for blogs. Unlike Wix or Squarespace, Framer gives you a professional, custom website without the limitations of drag-and-drop builders.
Can Framer handle my specific business needs?
Most of the time, yes! Framer fits the needs of 99% of small business use cases — from simple landing pages to comprehensive marketing websites with blogs, booking systems, contact forms, and more.
Framer is perfect for:
Service business websites (contractors, consultants, healthcare providers)
Local business sites (restaurants, retail, real estate)
Professional portfolios and personal brands
Event and conference websites
Membership sites and basic e-commerce (limited products/services)
Where Framer isn't the best fit: large-scale e-commerce stores with complex inventory management. For those, I'd recommend Shopify or a similar platform.
If you have specific functionality questions, just reach out and I'll let you know if Framer can handle it or recommend the best alternative.
Will you train me on how to use my website?
Absolutely! During the launch process, I'll provide a guided video walkthrough of your Framer site, specifically focusing on the Editor where you can easily manage content, update text and images, add blog posts, and make other changes without touching any code.
The training is recorded so you can reference it anytime. I also provide documentation for common tasks and I'm always available to answer questions as they come up.
If you want more advanced control or need additional training on specific features, we can arrange that as well. My goal is to make you comfortable and confident managing your own site.
How do you handle website hosting?
Hosting is simple and straightforward. You'll pay the hosting fee directly to Framer upfront — it's $20/month for hosting with a custom domain. Your domain registration is typically $10-15/year for your domain name (yourbusiness.com).
Framer's hosting is reliable, fast, and includes SSL security, automatic backups, and 99.9% uptime. You'll never have to worry about technical server issues — it just works.
What happens after my website launches?
Of course, I won't leave you hanging. I'm with you from design to launch and (hopefully) beyond. Here's what happens after your site goes live:
Immediate post-launch: I provide a video walkthrough showing you how to make basic updates in Framer's Editor. You'll be able to update text, images, and basic content without needing to touch any code.
Ongoing support options:
DIY: Manage updates yourself with my training and support documentation
As-needed: Reach out anytime for updates at $75/hour (most changes take 15-30 minutes)
Monthly retainer: Starting at $150/month for ongoing maintenance, content updates, performance monitoring, and continuous optimization
Your website, hosting, and all content belong to you completely. You're never locked in and can choose the support level that makes sense for your business.

Working with ProudlySites
Do you work with businesses outside of Raleigh?
Yes! While I'm based in Raleigh and have deep knowledge of the local market, I work with clients nationwide. The entire process can be done remotely. That said, I do have specialized knowledge that benefits Raleigh-area businesses: understanding of local search trends and competition, familiarity with nearby cities and service areas for local SEO, connections to local photographers and marketing partners, and knowledge of what works in the Raleigh market across different industries.
What industries do you work with?
I specialize in service-based businesses, particularly: Service trades (contractors, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, tile installation, remodelers, landscapers), Automotive services (mobile detailing, car washes, auto repair), Healthcare & wellness (dentists, orthodontists, counselors), Professional services (consultants, coaches, financial advisors), Local businesses (restaurants, retail, real estate), and Faith-based organizations (churches, ministries, Christian nonprofits). They all need to be found locally, build trust quickly, and convert visitors into paying customers.
I already have a website. Can you redesign it?
Absolutely — redesigns are some of my favorite projects. I'll audit your current site to analyze what's working and what's not, preserve any content or rankings that are performing well, build your new site from scratch on Framer with modern design and stronger SEO, and ensure a seamless transition without losing search rankings or breaking existing links. Most clients see improved performance within weeks — faster load times, better mobile experience, more contact form submissions, and improved search visibility.
