Common Questions
Do I need to provide content and images?
Yes, you'll need to provide your own text, photos, and logo. However, I can recommend stock photo sites and help with content structure if needed.
What if I need changes after the site is live?
Minor changes during the first week are included. After that, you can either update content yourself via the CMS, or sign up for a monthly maintenance plan where I handle updates for you.
Will I own the website?
Yes! Once final payment is made, you own all the content and files. I retain the right to showcase the project in my portfolio unless you prefer otherwise.
What happens if I'm not happy with the design?
Your satisfaction is important to me. You'll see mockups before development begins, and you get 2 rounds of revisions. I work collaboratively to ensure you're happy with the result.
