Why hire a freelancer instead of an agency?
Speed - weeks, not months. Cost - around 50% cheaper. Personal attention from the same person throughout, direct communication with no middleman, month-to-month flexibility, and full ownership of everything we build for you.
How much does a website cost?
A landing site (1-3 pages) starts at $2,000, a 5-10 page business website at $5,000, and a Shopify or WooCommerce store at $7,000 - all fixed-price per project. Ongoing work is $75/hour, and every quote includes unlimited revisions within scope.
How much does SEO cost, and when do results show?
A one-off SEO audit is $750, local SEO is $1,200/month, and the SEO growth retainer is $2,500/month month-to-month. Technical fixes and quick wins land in 2-4 weeks, ranking growth in 8-12 weeks for competitive terms, and traffic growth typically over 3-6 months.
How much do social media and digital marketing cost?
Social Starter is $1,500/month for 12 posts across 2 platforms, Social Growth is $2,800/month for 20 posts plus 8 reels across 4 platforms, and paid social (Meta and LinkedIn) is $2,000/month management plus your ad spend, which the platform bills directly. All are month-to-month with monthly performance reporting.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No one honestly can - Google's algorithm changes constantly. What we guarantee is white-hat methods, open communication when something isn't working, and a strategy adjustment at no extra cost if we're off track by month two.
What's your web development process and timeline?
Discover, design, develop, test, launch - typically 4-12 weeks depending on complexity. WordPress for speed and affordability, Webflow for design control, custom builds for complex features. You choose the platform.
Who owns the code, hosting and accounts?
You do. We hand over source code, GitHub access, domain and hosting - no vendor lock-in at any stage. You can hire anyone else to maintain it, and you can leave at any time.
Which industries do you work with?
Healthcare (HIPAA-aware clinic sites, booking and patient forms), education (enrolment funnels, course and learning platforms), finance (compliance, calculators, investment platforms), SaaS (product sites, trials, onboarding), e-commerce and nonprofits.
What are the payment terms?
Projects are 50% upfront and 50% on completion, or 100% upfront under $2,000. Retainers (SEO from $2,500/month, social from $1,500/month, paid social from $2,000/month plus ad spend) are billed on the 1st and cancellable anytime. No setup fees, no cancellation fees, and a 30-day satisfaction refund guarantee.
What happens after launch?
Support is free for 30 days, then optional at $500-1,000/month or $75/hour. That covers technical troubleshooting, updates, security monitoring and training so your team can maintain the site confidently.
Can you handle large or complex projects?
Projects up to around $50k we handle directly; beyond that we scale with trusted partners. You still deal with one senior point of contact, and decisions still get made within 24 hours.
