Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional web design cost for a Durham business?

Professional web design for Durham businesses typically ranges based on the scope, features, and complexity of the site. Most projects fall within a predictable range, and we provide clear proposals upfront so you know exactly what’s included. Every website is scoped to support your business goals, not sold as a one-size-fits-all package.

Why do you build business websites on WordPress?

We use WordPress because it offers flexibility, long-term ownership, and scalability without locking you into a proprietary platform. WordPress allows your business to grow, change hosts if needed, and manage content easily—making it a reliable foundation for serious business websites.

Can you redesign or improve my existing website?

Absolutely. Many of our Durham clients come to us with an existing website that needs improved performance, design, or structure. We can modernize your site, address technical issues, and rebuild it on a stronger foundation while preserving valuable content where appropriate.

What kind of support do you offer after my website launches?

After launch, we offer ongoing support through managed hosting, maintenance, updates, and security monitoring. This ensures your website remains fast, secure, and reliable, without requiring you to manage technical details yourself.

What’s included in your web design services for Durham businesses?

Our web design services include strategy, custom design, WordPress development, mobile responsiveness, performance optimization, and launch support. We focus on building websites that are fast, secure, easy to manage, and designed to convert visitors into leads for Durham-based businesses.

Will my website be optimized for Google search and local Durham SEO?

Yes. Every website we build follows SEO best practices, including performance optimization, clean code structure, mobile responsiveness, and local search considerations. This helps Durham businesses improve visibility in Google search and compete effectively in their local market.

How long does it take to design and launch a website?

Most website projects are completed within a few weeks, depending on scope and content readiness. We follow a structured process to keep projects moving efficiently while allowing time for feedback, testing, and quality assurance before launch.
