FAQ
The typical cost for a complete website design will always depend on the specific needs of what needs to be accomplished on the site.
Custom informational websites can range between $1400-$3200 typically. Websites with specialized features such as shopping mechanisms can range from $3200-$6800 typically.
I do not host websites myself but can recommend options to choose from depending on your needs. For basic sites, I would recommend A2 Hosting. For high-performance websites, I would web recommend WPEngine. I prefer that the client signs up for a website host on their own to keep everything in their name and control. Email accounts are also set up through the host. For a domain name provider, Hover, I would recommend using in tandem with the hosting provider for further control and flexibility.
Yes, it is important that I can be available for all of my clients. If you are in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area, we can certainly meet at a coffee shop or equivalent to walk through any of the processes together and brainstorm ideas.
Otherwise, we can hop on a Skype, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom call anytime.
Not unless requested. I find it best to start from a clean, blank slate and build a custom experience. This also allows for clean and minimalistic design without having extra features brought over from a pre-designed template that will ultimately slow down a website.
While having experience with theme builders, especially Elementor, I prefer to use WordPress’s own theme builder to keep the core site speed high. If the project calls for a need for a theme builder or a current site already uses one, I can always work with them.
I do, but with the understanding that I am WordPress first as a developer. Many fundamentals can be brought over to any platform. With anything, there are always some pros and cons to proprietary services. I’ll help sort it out!
