How much does a small business website cost?
A one-page site starts at $600. A full site of up to eight pages starts at $1,350. That
is a one-time cost, not a subscription. You get the number in writing before any work
starts, and it only changes if you change the scope.
Why are my business emails going to spam?
Often because your domain is not proving the mail is really from you. Gmail and Outlook
check that before delivering anything, and a domain that worked fine two years ago can
start failing without warning. Three settings handle that proof, and they live with
whoever manages your domain name. I check them, correct what is wrong, and send you a
before-and-after test so you can see the change. Inboxes also weigh your sending history
and what the message says, so nobody can honestly promise every email lands in the inbox.
If you want the names, the settings are SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
Do I have to pay a monthly fee for my website?
No. The sites I build are static files on free hosting, so there is no platform
subscription. The only thing the website needs you to pay for is your domain name,
usually around $12 a year. Email at your own domain, if you want it, is a separate bill
from your email provider. The $55 per month care plan is optional, and only worth it if
you want me handling edits and monitoring for you.
How long does it take to build a website?
About a week for a one-page site, once you send me your text and photos. Two to three
weeks for a full site. The slow part is almost always waiting on content, not the build.
What areas around Indianapolis do you cover?
Anywhere in the Indy metro, so Marion, Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Boone, Hancock and
Morgan counties. That covers Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville,
Greenwood, Avon, Plainfield, Brownsburg, Greenfield, Franklin, Mooresville and Lebanon.
I can meet in person around Indianapolis, and the work itself happens remotely, so being
further out is not a problem.
What if I already have a website?
If it is slow, hard to update, or costing you a monthly fee you resent, I can rebuild it
as a simple site that costs nothing to keep online. I will not take over someone else's
build to patch it, because inheriting a system I did not write helps neither of us. A
rebuild I can do.
