How much does a website cost?
The cost depends on the size of your website and the features you need. A simple website showcasing your business will have different requirements from one with online bookings, an online shop or custom interactive features. We’ll discuss what you want to achieve and provide a quote based on your requirements.
How long does a website take to build?
The timeframe depends on the size and complexity of your website, the features required and how much content is ready. During our initial discussions, we’ll agree on the scope and outline a realistic timeline, allowing time for content preparation, your feedback and any revisions.
What do I need to provide before you start?
We’ll start by discussing your business, what you want your website to achieve and any features you need. If you have an existing website, we’ll review what works and what you’d like to change. You can also share examples of websites or design styles you like, along with any existing branding, text or images. From there, we’ll put together a plan and identify any content needed before work begins.
