Website project FAQ
Learn what to expect before, during, and after your website project—from pricing and timelines to content, launch, and ongoing support.
Start with the purpose, scope, and information the project needs.
A typical project includes strategy, page planning, custom design, responsive development, contact setup, search and AI-discovery setup, and launch support. The exact scope depends on the business and its goals.
Most focused business websites take several weeks. Timing depends on page count, feedback, content readiness, and the overall project scope.
Useful starting materials include your business goals, services, brand details, existing website content, and any photos you want to use. We’ll help identify what is ready and what still needs to be gathered.
Yes. We can review the current site and recommend focused improvements or a rebuild, depending on its condition, technology, and the changes your business needs.
Understand what shapes the proposal and what needs to be prepared.
The listed package price applies when your project fits the features and page limit shown for that package. Additional pages, custom features, and work outside the listed package receive a separate quote for your approval.
The Starter Website is one focused scrolling page, the Business Website includes up to five pages, and the Expanded Business Website includes up to eight. If you need more than eight pages, we’ll provide custom pricing based on your needs.
Yes. Business Website packages include light editing of up to 500 words of text you provide, and Expanded Business Website packages include up to 1,000 words. This covers organization, clarity, headings, readability, and page layout. Writing the website from scratch, extensive research, and brand messaging are separate services that must be defined before the project begins.
Domain names are purchased separately and remain in your name. You are responsible for domain purchase and renewal costs. We connect your domain and launch the website, but any third-party hosting cost is separate unless your proposal says otherwise. Website Care customers can also ask us to help manage the connection.
Know how the site will work, how you’ll review it, and what happens before it goes live.
Yes. Every Wilkes Web Co. website is designed responsively so its navigation, content, forms, and calls to action remain usable across phones, tablets, and desktop screens.
You review the plan and design before the full build moves forward. We explain what is ready, what comes next, and when your feedback is needed; the proposal defines the included revision rounds.
SEO and GEO foundations mean your website is set up so traditional search engines and AI-powered answer systems can understand and discover it. This includes clear page structure, descriptive titles, useful content organization, crawl-friendly markup, and content that clearly explains the business. Search visibility depends on many factors, so no ranking, citation, or placement can be guaranteed.
We build with semantic structure, keyboard use, readable contrast, responsive layouts, form labels, and meaningful image descriptions in mind. Exact accessibility requirements are discussed during project planning.
Plan for updates, support, and the next stage of your website.
That depends on the website’s setup and the kinds of changes you want to make. We’ll discuss editing needs early so the project can use a practical approach for you or your team.
We complete final checks and provide the project handoff described in your proposal. Website packages do not include monthly care unless you select a Website Care plan. Without a monthly plan, one-time update requests start at $149 for up to 60 minutes of work; larger requests receive a separate quote.
Usually, yes. We plan the site so it can grow where practical, then review additional pages or approved features as a separate phase of work.
Ownership, licenses, and any third-party services are explained in the signed proposal or agreement. You’ll be able to review those terms before project work begins.
