What does a website cost?
One fixed price for the build, plus a small monthly amount for hosting and changes. I'll give you both numbers once I've seen what you actually need — a five-page site for a trade and an online shop are different jobs, and quoting before looking is how people end up with a surprise. The example is free either way.
How long does it take?
Most small business sites are a couple of weeks from go-ahead to live. What usually holds things up isn't the building — it's waiting on photos and words, so I'll help with both.
Can I change things myself afterwards?
Tell me and I'll do it, usually the same day — that's what the monthly amount covers. If you'd rather edit prices and text yourself, say so early and I'll build it that way instead.
Will this affect my business email?
It shouldn't, and it's the part I'm most careful about. Your website and your email are separate settings on the same domain, and only the website ones change. I check yours first, preserve them, and confirm mail is still arriving before anything goes live.
What if the person who built my old site has vanished?
Very common, and usually solvable. What matters is who controls the domain, not who built the site. If the login has been lost there's a proper recovery process, and I'll walk you through it.
Do I need photographs?
Real photos of your own work beat stock photography every time, and phone photos are usually good enough — I'll tell you what to shoot. Where there aren't any, the design carries the page instead.
