FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about pricing, hosting, security, and how we work. Still curious? Just ask.

Is hosting required with a website?

Yes. Every website we build needs an active hosting plan to stay online, fast, and secure. Hosting starts at $15 per month when paid for three years up front, $16.67 per month billed annually, or $20 per month billed monthly. The one-time build fee and the ongoing hosting plan are separate.

How much does a website cost?

Simple sites start at $250 and medium sites at $500 as a one-time build fee, plus a hosting plan from $15 per month. More involved or e-commerce sites are quoted individually. You can see the full breakdown on our pricing page.

Are these really your prices?

For now, yes. We are a brand-new local company building our portfolio, so these are introductory rates and the lowest they will ever be. If you are considering a project, this is a great time to start.

What is the difference between a website and a web application?

A website tells people who you are and is mostly the same for every visitor. A web application is software people log into to do something, with accounts, dashboards, and data. We build websites on a fixed-fee basis and custom Django web applications on a per-project quote.

Do you only work with businesses in Northern California?

We are based in Redding and love helping businesses across Shasta County and Northern California, but we happily work with clients anywhere. Everything we do can be handled remotely.

Will my site work on phones and tablets?

Always. Every site we build is responsive and tested to look and work great on mobile, tablet, desktop, and wide displays.

Is my website secure?

Security is built in from the start, not added later. Your site is served over HTTPS, uses hardened configuration, and follows safe practices throughout. For web applications, we add account security, permissions, and data protection appropriate to the project.

What about accessibility?

Every site ships with an accessibility widget that lets visitors adjust text size, contrast, spacing, and more, and we build with inclusive, standards-minded markup. It is the right thing to do, and it widens your audience and helps your SEO.

Do you offer ongoing blog and social media content?

Yes. We offer an optional content and marketing package for website clients, where we write regular blog posts and matching social media content to keep your site active and help your SEO. Pricing depends on how much content you want, so reach out and we will put together a plan that fits.

How do you compare to a typical template- or plugin-based site?

We build custom, lightweight sites rather than stacking heavy themes and plugins. With less code and fewer moving parts, our sites typically cost less than going rates for a comparable build, tend to load faster, and have a smaller surface to patch and maintain over time.

Can you host a website you did not build?

Sometimes. Reach out and tell us about your current site, and we will let you know whether we can take over hosting or recommend a better path.

How long does a project take?

A simple site can often be ready in a week or two once we have your content. Larger sites and web applications depend on scope. We will give you a realistic timeline with your quote.

How do I get started?

Send us a message through the contact page with a few sentences about what you need. We will reply within one business day, usually with a clear quote or a couple of quick questions.

Still have a question?
