Web Design FAQ for Lancaster, PA
The questions Lancaster business owners ask us most before starting a web project, answered straight.
How much does a website cost in Lancaster, PA?
Most small business websites here start in the $3,500 to $5,000 range for a custom WordPress build. Bigger projects, online stores, or anything more involved get quoted from there based on what they need. Either way, you get a clear estimate before you commit.
Do you charge monthly fees?
The build is a one-time fee. If you want it, we also offer monthly plans that cover hosting, security, backups, and small updates. We will go over the options so you can decide what makes sense.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Most projects take a one-third deposit to start and the rest at launch. For larger projects we can split payments into milestones. We try to make the schedule work for you.
What's not included in the price?
Hosting, your domain name registration, and any ongoing support work after the site is done are billed separately. We tell you what those run before you start.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most projects take 8 to 10 weeks from kickoff to launch. The biggest factor is how quickly we get content and feedback from you, so we move at your pace.
How involved do I need to be?
We handle most of the work. You will give us your content or approve copy we write, look over the mockups, and sign off at the end. Most clients spend around three to five hours total on their side.
How many revisions do I get?
Every project includes revisions. If you want something outside the original scope, we are happy to look at it and quote it separately. We also nail down the details early so there is less to redo later.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Your logo, brand colors, copy, and photos are the ideal starting point. If you do not have all of that yet, we can help you put it together.
Do you build with WordPress?
Yes. WordPress with Advanced Custom Fields is what we build on, and we custom-code every site. You own it completely and can update your own content without touching code.
Can I edit my website myself after launch?
Yes. Every WordPress build comes with a training session so you can update text, images, and pages yourself. You will not need a developer for everyday changes.
Who hosts the website?
We host most of the sites we build on our own servers. That way you have one place to call if something comes up, and our own support team handles it.
Will my site be mobile-friendly?
Every site we build is responsive and tested on real phones before launch. We have built mobile-friendly as standard since 2014.
Will my website show up in Google?
Every site we build includes the SEO basics: clean HTML structure, page titles, and meta descriptions. Ranking for competitive search terms takes ongoing SEO work, which we offer separately.
Do you offer SEO services too?
Yes. We offer local SEO for Lancaster businesses and can pair a new site with an SEO kickstart. Ask us about it when we talk.
How do I know if my new site is working?
We set up Google Analytics and Search Console at launch so you can see traffic, leads, and rankings from day one. We will show you how to read them.
Can you redesign a site that already ranks?
Yes, and we are careful when we do. We map your existing URLs, put 301 redirects in place, and protect your current rankings through the redesign.
