Website Hosting & Development FAQ
Do I need a website for my new business?
Absolutely. A professional website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. It establishes credibility, helps people find you on Google, and works 24/7 as your digital shopfront. We bundle website builds with our New Business Setup service so you can launch with everything in place.
What platform do you build websites on?
We build on WordPress — the world's most popular content management system, powering over 40% of all websites. It's flexible, scalable, and gives you full ownership of your site. We pair it with WP Engine managed hosting for enterprise-grade speed, security and daily backups.
What's included in managed hosting?
Our managed hosting ($149/month) includes WP Engine enterprise hosting, daily automated backups, SSL certificate, WordPress core and plugin updates, uptime monitoring, and security scanning. It's hands-off for you — we handle the technical side so your site stays fast and secure.
What's the difference between Care Plan and Care Plus?
Both include everything in managed hosting. The Care Plan ($249/mo) adds 30 minutes of content edits per month — perfect if you need occasional text changes, image swaps or minor updates. Care Plus ($449/mo) gives you 2 hours of edits per month, suited for businesses that update content regularly or need ongoing design tweaks.
Can you add eCommerce to my website?
Yes. Our eCommerce starter add-on ($2,990) adds WooCommerce with product setup, payment gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal), shipping configuration and accounting software connection. We can also integrate with Shopify if that's your preferred platform.
How long does a website build take?
A 1-page starter site can be live within 1–2 weeks. Growth sites (2–5 pages) typically take 2–4 weeks, and Pro sites (6–10 pages) around 4–6 weeks. Timelines depend on how quickly you provide content and feedback. We keep you updated at every stage.
Do I own my website?
Yes — 100%. You own all content, design assets and the domain. If you ever decide to move, we'll help you transition smoothly. There are no lock-in contracts on any of our hosting or care plans.
