05 Questions

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about process, hosting, and timelines. Still curious? Ask us →

Yes, every website we build comes with 3 months of free, fully-managed hosting and SSL. We handle uptime, security and updates so you can forget the technical side entirely. After the free period, hosting continues at a simple flat rate, or we'll happily hand it over.

A one-pager can go live in days; most full sites land in 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope. Automation pipelines often pay for themselves within the first month, and many clients win back a full working day every single week.

That's the whole point. Whether you're starting from a blank page or refining something that no longer fits, we craft a cohesive identity (logo, colours, type and the details) so you look established and trustworthy from the very first impression.

You're never left on your own. We stay on for support, tweaks and growth, adding features, watching the automations, and keeping everything running. Think of us as your studio on call, not a one-and-done vendor.

Yes for the first year, we can set up and manage your domain for as long as we're managing your site. After the first year, you're responsible for the domain renewal costs.
