06 / FAQs

Questions we get from small business owners.

Can you build it in WordPress or with AI?

Yes. We can build your site in WordPress or as a browser-edited site, depending on what suits your business best. That editor-based route lets you update text and images yourself after launch without relying on a WordPress login.

What about e-commerce?

You can add an e-commerce website for small business when you're ready to sell online. We'll talk through what you want to sell and set up an online shop that fits your business — no need to over-build before you need it.

Is brand design included?

We can support branding for small companies if you need assets. Whether you've got a logo and palette already, or need help shaping a visual identity, we can put together what's needed alongside the build.

Do you write copy?

Yes. If you already have rough notes, I can shape them into page copy, improve the structure, and use AI where it helps with clarity and SEO. If you need fuller copy support from a blank page, we can scope that into the build.

How quickly is it built?

Most sites launch in weeks, depending on content readiness. Once your copy, images and brand assets are in the shared folder, the build moves quickly. We agree a realistic timeline up front so there are no surprises.

Is hosting included?

We offer reliable web hosting for small business and ongoing support. Hosting and maintenance are available as optional add-on packages so your site stays fast, secure, and up to date once it's live.

How does payment work?

The complete 5-page package starts from £500. You start with a £250 deposit to secure your slot, and the remaining balance is due on launch. No hidden costs and no long contracts.
