What SMBs worry about (and how we address it)
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes. We provide training and documentation. Most template platforms have user-friendly editors for text and image updates.
What if I need changes after launch?
14-30 days post-launch support is included. After that, we offer maintenance plans or ad-hoc updates.
Is it mobile-friendly?
All templates we select are mobile-responsive by default. We test on multiple devices before launch.
What about SEO?
Basic SEO setup is included: titles, meta descriptions, Google Analytics, Search Console submission. Advanced SEO is available as an add-on.
Do I own my website?
Yes. You own your domain, content, and can export your data. But each platform has its own terms and conditions, and some require a paid subscription to use the platform or certain features.
