I have an old website that needs refreshing. What should I do?

I’m happy to take a look. But in my experience, it’s more cost and time-efficient to start over with a clean slate rather than try to untangle something that is outdated and stale. Get in touch (405) 306-3766 or request a Free Quote and we can discuss your best options.

Can I make changes to my website after it's launched?

Yes. You’re welcome to make small changes to your website, such as updating text or images, if you’re comfortable doing so.

Pricing

What type of website is best for my business right now?

Website pricing is primarily driven by scope: how many pages you need, the level of design and content work, and the features required to support your goals. Below are the core pricing factors, presented in the same structure as your current bullets - just generalized:

Showcase Your Services: Pricing increases as you add more pages and sections to clearly present multiple services, specialties, or offerings in greater detail.
Team and Portfolio: If you need team bios, case studies, galleries, or project examples, that adds structured content creation, layout work, and often ongoing updates.
Advanced Features: Tools like booking, forms beyond basic contact, client portals, memberships, payments, automation, third-party integrations, or location/service landing pages add complexity and cost.
Scalability: Building for growth - future pages, modular layouts, expandable navigation, and a framework that supports adding content without rework - requires more planning upfront.
User Engagement: Enhanced UX (conversion-focused layouts, stronger calls-to-action, clearer user paths, FAQs, supporting content, and improved navigation) increases the build effort, but typically improves results.
Brand Building: More custom design, stronger visual consistency, upgraded typography/layout systems, and tighter messaging elevate perceived quality - often requiring additional design and refinement time.
Investment Value: A website should be treated as a business asset. The right scope is the one that supports your goals today while allowing sensible expansion tomorrow - without overbuilding upfront.

What factors raise the price of a website?

Several factors can raise the price of a website, primarily the complexity of its features and functionality. For example:

Content: Needing help with creating, refining, or migrating content for your site can add to the cost.
Custom Features: Advanced features like custom forms, filtered galleries, or embedded live feeds.
Brand Identity: Refining your brand identity to make the website stand out.
Functionality: Advanced tools, integrations, or custom solutions to enhance user experience increase costs.
Extras: Setting up a blog, adding interactive elements, or creating a polished FAQs page.
Design Complexity: Sophisticated designs, animations, or unique layouts require more time and expertise, raising costs.
Scalability: Preparing for future expansion, like additional pages or features, can increase upfront costs.
SEO & Analytics: Optimizing for search engines and integrating advanced analytics tools can also raise the price.

These factors directly impact the cost of building a website and how well it aligns with your goals and needs.

Hosting

What's hosting, and why do I need it?

Hosting is a service that stores your website on a server connected to the internet, making it accessible to visitors. Without hosting, your website wouldn’t be visible online. Think of it as renting space for a business - hosting provides a home to keep your website available and running smoothly.

Do you offer hosting?

Yes. I offer managed hosting exclusively through my Care Plans, which bundle hosting with essential services to keep your website secure, fast, and consistently up-to-date. You can learn more about what’s included in my Care Plans here.

Can I host the site on my own account?

Yes. After building your website, I can transfer it to your own hosting account if that's your preference. Keep in mind, you'll be responsible for managing and maintaining the site, including updates, backups, security, performance and monitoring, etc.

Do you offer ongoing services?

Yes. Rather than just providing standalone hosting, I provide Care Plans that bundle hosting with essential services to significantly reduce costs and add value. These plans include:

Managed Hosting
Daily Backups
Security & Uptime Monitoring
Regular Updates
Performance Optimization
Firewall Protection
Troubleshooting Support

Plans start at $129/month, offering a comprehensive solution to keep your website secure, updated, and running smoothly. Learn more on my Care Plans page.

Can I edit my website after it’s built?

Absolutely! All my websites are built using a best in class front-end visual editor. This tool allows you to make edits & changes to your website easily without needing any technical skills.

With its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, you can:

Update Text: Change content quickly and see the edits live as you make them.
Replace Images: Upload and adjust images effortlessly.
Make Minor Updates: Add or rearrange elements with just a few clicks.

While I encourage you to make minor edits & changes yourself, I recommend using my expertise & experience for more complex revisions to ensure everything is done correctly.

Support

Do you handle revisions for websites as my business grows?

Yes. I’m always available to help your website grow alongside your business. Whether you need new pages, updates to existing content, or added functionality, I ensure the changes align with your goals and keep your website performing at its best. Regular updates can improve visibility, showcase new services, and enhance the user experience.

If I’ve built your website, just let me know what you need - I’ll create a plan tailored to your updates with clear and transparent pricing. This way, your website remains a valuable and seamless part of your business’s success.

Do you provide website troubleshooting?

Yes. I’m here to troubleshoot any issues that may arise when you’re subscribed to a Care Plan. I actively monitor the websites I manage and maintain, allowing me to address problems immediately. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and ensures your website runs smoothly at all times.
