What is involved in getting a new website?
Getting a new website typically involves several stages: planning (defining goals, target audience, features), design (creating the visual look and user experience), development (building the website's functionality), content creation (writing text, taking photos/videos), testing (ensuring everything works correctly), and launch (making the website live).How much does a new website cost?
The cost of a new website can vary significantly based on complexity, features, design customization, the agency or freelancer you choose, and ongoing maintenance. It can range from a few hundred dollars for a basic DIY site to tens of thousands (or more) for a complex, custom-built platform.How long does it take to build a new website?
The timeline for building a new website also varies greatly depending on the scope of the project. A simple website might take a few weeks, while a more complex e-commerce platform or custom web application could take several months.What information do I need to provide to get started?
Typically, you'll need to provide information about your business (mission, target audience, brand guidelines), your goals for the website, examples of websites you like, any existing content (text, logos, images), and details about any specific features you require (e.g., contact forms, e-commerce functionality, blog).Do I need to have all my content ready before the website build begins?
While it's helpful to have a good understanding of your content needs early on, you don't always need everything finalized before development starts. However, delays in content can impact the overall project timeline. It's best to discuss a content plan with your web development team.Will my website be mobile-friendly?

This is crucial for user experience and search engine rankings.Will my website be search engine optimized (SEO)?
While the initial build might include basic SEO elements, true SEO is an ongoing process. Discuss your SEO goals with your web development team. They can implement on-page optimization best practices during development, but a comprehensive SEO strategy often involves ongoing efforts.Who owns the website once it's finished?
Typically, once you've paid for the website development, you own the website and its content. However, it's crucial to have a clear contract that outlines ownership and intellectual property rights.What happens after the website is launched?
After launch, you'll need to consider website maintenance (security updates, software updates), content updates, and ongoing SEO efforts to ensure your website remains functional, secure, and visible.Will you provide training on how to manage my website?
Reputable web development agencies or freelancers will usually provide training or documentation on how to manage your website's content management system (CMS), if applicable.What kind of support do you offer after the website is live?
Discuss the post-launch support offered by your web development team. This might include bug fixes, technical support, and ongoing maintenance packages.How do I choose the right web development agency or freelancer?
