Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to buy my own domain?

Yes, and that's a good thing: the domain (like yourbusiness.com) should be in your name so you always own it. It usually costs about $10–$20 a year. If you don't have one yet, I'll walk you through buying it.

How long does a website take?

A one-page website usually takes 1–2 weeks once I have your information and photos. A 3–5 page starter website usually takes 2–4 weeks. I'll give you a timeline in your quote.

What do I need to send you?

Your logo (if you have one), a few photos, your services and prices, your hours and how customers should contact you. Rough notes are fine. I'll help you turn them into clear, friendly text.

Are there other costs besides your price?

Sometimes. You pay providers directly for things like your domain, a business email inbox, or booking and payment tools. Many small websites can be hosted for free or very little. I'll list any of these in your quote before we start.

Do you work with businesses outside my area?

Yes. I work with small businesses anywhere in the US by video call and email.

Can we work in Spanish?

¡Claro que sí! I'm happy to work with you in Spanish or English, and I can build your website in both languages.

Do you use AI to build my website?

Yes. AI helps me work faster and keep prices low. I review and check everything myself (checking AI work is my day job), and you approve everything before it goes live.

How does payment work?

For websites, 50% is due to start and 50% when your site goes live. Website prices include 2 rounds of changes. Everything is written down in a simple agreement before any work begins.

Can I make changes after my site is live?

Yes. You can join the monthly care plan for regular updates, or ask me for a one-off update when you need it.
