Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
What makes your websites different?
I design and build websites with more than appearance in mind. Every project considers user experience, mobile responsiveness, SEO, accessibility, and long-term maintainability. My goal is to create a website that supports your business, is easy to manage, and continues to perform well as your business grows.
Do you work with clients across Canada?
Yes. I work remotely with clients across Canada. Meetings, planning, feedback, and support can all be handled online, making the process convenient regardless of your location.
Can we work together remotely?
Absolutely. I work with clients across Canada, so the entire process can be completed remotely. We can communicate by email, phone, or video calls to discuss your goals, review progress, and answer any questions throughout the project.
How do we get started?
It starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss your business, your goals, and what you’d like your website to achieve. After that, I’ll recommend the best approach, provide a quote, and outline the next steps before any work begins.
What information do you need before starting?
To get started, I’ll need a basic understanding of your business, your goals, your target audience, and the features you’d like on your website. If you already have branding, content, images, or examples of websites you like, those are helpful as well. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything ready—we can work through it together.
How much does a website cost?
Every project is different, so the cost depends on your goals, the size of the website, its features, and the amount of content. After discussing your project, I’ll provide a clear, fixed quote with no hidden fees. My goal is to recommend a solution that fits both your business needs and your budget.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most small business websites are completed within 2–6 weeks, depending on the project scope and how quickly content and feedback are provided. I’ll keep you informed throughout the process and make sure everything is ready before launch.
Website Development
Do you build WordPress websites?
Yes. I build custom WordPress websites that are easy to manage, responsive, and designed with performance and usability in mind. WordPress offers flexibility, making it a great choice for most small businesses.
Will I be able to update my website myself?
Yes, if you’re comfortable using WordPress. Most content updates, such as changing text, replacing images, or publishing blog posts, can be done without coding. If you’d like to manage your website yourself, I can provide basic guidance. Alternatively, I can handle updates for you whenever needed.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. If your current website feels outdated, loads slowly, isn’t mobile-friendly, or no longer represents your business, I can redesign it while preserving valuable content where appropriate.
Can you improve my current website instead of building a new one?
Yes. If your current website has a solid foundation, I can improve its design, performance, accessibility, SEO, or functionality without rebuilding it from scratch. After reviewing your website, I’ll recommend whether updates or a complete redesign would be the better solution.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Yes. Every website I build is fully responsive, meaning it is designed to work well on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Your visitors will have a consistent and user-friendly experience regardless of the device they use.
SEO & Visibility
Will my website be optimized for search engines?
Yes. Every website is built with SEO best practices in mind, including clean code, a logical page structure, mobile-friendly design, fast loading, and properly optimized metadata. While these practices help search engines understand your website, search rankings depend on many factors, including competition, your industry, website content, and ongoing SEO efforts.
Do I need SEO for a small business website?
Yes. SEO helps potential customers find your business when they search online. While a website can still be useful without SEO, optimizing it from the beginning improves its visibility in search engines and provides a stronger foundation for long-term growth. SEO is an ongoing process, but building your website with SEO best practices from the start helps avoid costly changes later.
Do you provide local SEO?
Yes. I can help optimize your website for local search by improving your website structure, location-based content, metadata, and Google Business Profile integration. Local SEO helps potential customers find your business when searching for services in your area.
Can you connect my website to Google Business Profile?
Yes. I can connect your website to your Google Business Profile and help ensure your business information is consistent. This supports your online presence and can improve local visibility.
Accessibility
Do you build accessible websites?
Yes. Accessibility is considered throughout the design and development process. I aim to build websites that follow current accessibility best practices and align with WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines. For businesses in Ontario, accessibility also supports compliance with AODA requirements.
Why does my small business need an accessible website?
An accessible website makes it easier for everyone to use, including people with disabilities. It improves the overall user experience, helps more potential customers access your content, and supports compliance with accessibility requirements such as AODA in Ontario. Many accessibility best practices also improve usability and search engine optimization.
Will my website follow WCAG and AODA guidelines?
Accessibility is considered throughout the design and development process. I build websites with current accessibility best practices in mind and aim to align with WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines where appropriate. For Ontario businesses, I also consider AODA accessibility requirements during development.
Ongoing Support
Do you offer ongoing website support?
Yes. If you need changes after your website is launched, I can help with content updates, design improvements, new pages, feature enhancements, and technical assistance as needed. The level of ongoing maintenance depends on your hosting provider and your specific requirements.
What happens after my website is launched?
After launch, I’ll make sure everything is working properly and answer any questions you have. If you need future updates, improvements, or ongoing maintenance, I’m here to help as your business grows.
Can you help if something breaks?
Yes. If you experience technical issues after your website is launched, I can help troubleshoot the problem and recommend the best solution. Whether it’s a layout issue, a plugin conflict, or another website-related problem, I’m available to provide assistance when needed.
Technology
Why hire a web designer when AI can build a website?
AI can be a helpful tool for generating ideas or creating a basic website. However, building a professional business website involves much more than generating pages. It requires planning, user experience, responsive design, SEO, accessibility, privacy considerations, and understanding your business and target audience. I use modern tools, including AI where appropriate, but every website is carefully reviewed, customized, and built around your business goals.
Do you provide website hosting?
I don’t provide hosting directly, but I can recommend reliable hosting providers and help you choose the option that best fits your website and budget. I can also assist with setting up your hosting and connecting your domain.
