FAQ

Custom websites: common questions.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch from Wix or Squarespace?

Not if the move is done right. We map every page Google has indexed and redirect each one to its new address, then monitor your search data after launch.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. Send us changes any time, or we can set you up to edit text and photos yourself. Either way, you are never locked in.

How much does a custom website cost?

It depends on the number of pages and features. You get a clear quote after your free audit, before you commit to anything.

Do you build online stores or booking pages?

Yes. We can add online booking, payments and simple product catalogs to any site we build.
