Convenient credit card payments are available via Stripe.
Full payment is required upfront for landing pages and small & medium projects (see prices). For larger projects above 25 pages, 50% upfront payment and 50% upon completion.
If you have an existing website, I will build everything on my hosting account and transfer the new design to your hosting account once you are satisfied with the way things look. This avoids having your current website down while it's under construction. The migration process from my hosting account to yours takes less than an hour.
I guarantee you'll be pleased with my work. Check me out at the Better Business Bureau where I've had an uninterrupted A+ rating since 2016.
Regarding refunds, after I receive your payment and after we've discussed your project in detail, I'll design a mockup of your homepage for your review. If you're not happy, I'll refund your entire amount less a $300 charge for my time. You'll get this in writing.
I recommend it but I don't require it. I can provide website hosting and maintenance for $150 per month. I use WP Engine for hosting because I feel it's the best option out there. My hosting & maintenance plan includes making sure your WordPress version is always up-to-date, and making sure your plugins, themes and page builders are always using the most recent version. You also get to 2 hours per month for edits or new content to be added to your website. If you require massive edits or new content in a particular month, contact me and we can discuss a supplemental fee for that month, depending on how long I estimate the task to take.
WordPress updates several times annually for security reasons. And the plugins that control some of the functionality on your website also update at random times. Sometimes a WordPress core update or plugin update can cause things on your site to break or look wonky. And I've had clients get hacked a couple of times over the years.
Another thing I see a lot lately is hackers trying to conduct brute force logins on my client’s websites in order to install malware. There are ways to prevent it, but it requires ongoing maintenance to detect and eliminate these threats. If you leave your website alone and don't have anyone maintaining it, you are rolling the dice and hoping that something doesn't break
Yes, I'm a WordPress-only shop, mainly because it's so widely used. If you're looking for Shopify, Squarespace or Wix website, I'm not your best choice.
Small websites up to 10 pages take about 2-4 days to finish once I have access to your domain, hosting, content and images. Medium websites up to 25 pages take about 7 days. Large sites with more than 25 pages are difficult to estimate until I know more about the size & scope of your project.
Yes, absolutely! WordPress is easy to edit, and I can also provide video screenshare training to you or your team.
GoDaddy is great for domain names.
For hosting I highly recommend WP Engine. As of this writing, it's $15/month if you pay annually, or $24/month if you pay month-to-month. Also, WP Engine automatically backs up your website daily, so if you get hacked or if something breaks, we can restore your site to an earlier version.
IMPORTANT: You should always maintain control of your domain name and hosting account. The risk with letting an individual or agency control these is that if there's ever a dispute, they can nuke your website or hold it hostage. Unfortunately I've seen this happen too many times.
Yes of course! All of it ... the content, photos and images.
You'll work directly with me. No project managers, account managers, designers, developers or new hires. I occasionally subcontract work to other local developers when I am overloaded, and their work is excellent.
