What happens after I get in touch?
Within 24 hours I'll reply or call and ask about anything your message leaves out: what you do, whether you already have a site and what it should handle. Then you get the scope, price and timeline in writing. If we agree, you'll have a link to the first design within three days of the brief. You pay nothing until you order.
Can I have a site like one of the examples?
Yes. Tell me which example is closest to what you need and what you do. Based on that, within three days I'll prepare a design for your business — with your name, your services and your colours.
What does the free consultation involve?
We go through what your business needs. I suggest the scope of the site, give you an estimate of the price and timeline and explain what the package includes. We can do it by phone or email.
It's non-binding and costs you nothing. You get my recommendation even if you don't give me the job. If it turns out you don't need a website right now, I'll tell you.
What will the site cost after the first year?
The website itself is yours and there's no monthly fee for it. You only pay for the domain and hosting with the provider. Maintenance from €9 a month is optional — if you don't choose it, your site keeps running.
Who will update my daily menu or price list?
We agree on that up front. Either I set up the content so you can manage it yourself, or I do it as part of website maintenance. Either way, it will be written in the quote.
How soon will my site be ready?
The first design within three days of the brief. Starter is usually ready within five working days, Standard within ten, Pro in three to five weeks, and an online shop depending on the scope. I confirm the date in the quote.
Do I have to supply the texts and photos?
No. If you have texts, I'll use them; if not, I'll write them. They're included in the Pro package, otherwise they're an add-on at €19 per page. If you don't have photos, I'll build the design so it doesn't need them.
How does payment work?
Half when you order, the other half when the site goes live. The price is written in the quote before work starts. The consultation and the quote cost you nothing.
Why are you cheaper than most quotes?
I do everything myself, so you don't pay for agency overheads. I write sites by hand without paid templates or plugins, so there are no monthly licences either. The comparison with typical prices is shown with each package in the price list.
Who owns the website and the domain?
You do. The domain is registered in your name, and once paid, the site and its source code are your property. If you decide to continue with someone else, you can hand everything over without my permission.
What if I don't like the design?
Tell me what you don't like and I'll redraw it. Starter includes one round of feedback, Standard two, and with Pro we handle them as we go.
Do you work with businesses in Ireland and the UK?
Yes. The whole job can be done remotely: the brief by phone or email, and you open both the design and the finished site via a link. It doesn't matter where your business is.
Will people find my site on Google?
Basic SEO is included in every package: filled-in descriptions, proper headings, a sitemap and fast loading, so search engines can read and index the site.
I don't guarantee first place in the results. Google decides the ranking by its own rules and it isn't for sale.
