Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about how we work, what it costs, and what you can expect.

Do you really build websites for free?

Yes — we design and build a professional small-business website at no upfront cost. You cover hosting and an optional monthly maintenance plan ($150/month), which keeps your site fast, secure, and updated. You own the website and the domain 100%.

How long does it take to launch a website?

Most service-business sites go live in 2–3 weeks from kickoff. Larger projects with e-commerce or many location pages can take 4–8 weeks. We give you a clear timeline during your free consultation.

Will my website actually rank on Google?

Every site we build includes local schema markup, location-targeted pages, fast load times, and Google Business Profile optimization — the strongest foundation for local ranking. SEO is a long game (typically 3–9 months for a new site), but our clients, like Royal Appliance Repair, have seen organic traffic grow over 240%.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

We specialize in local service businesses: appliance repair, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, garage doors, cleaning, landscaping, law firms, and medical/dental practices. If your customers find you on Google and call, we can help.

Do I own my website when it's done?

Completely. Your files, your hosting, your domain. We build on WordPress so you're never locked into a proprietary platform or held hostage for edits.

What's included in the $150/month maintenance plan?

WordPress core, theme and plugin updates; daily backups; security scanning and malware removal; performance and speed checks; up to two hours of monthly content edits; and a monthly performance report.

Do you offer Google Business Profile and SEO help?

Yes. We set up and optimize your Google Business Profile, build local citations, and handle on-page SEO. Ongoing SEO and review-generation support is available as an add-on.

What areas do you serve?

All of Northern Virginia and the greater DC metro — including Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Manassas, Woodbridge, Reston, Herndon, Ashburn, Vienna, Burke, Springfield, Centreville, Chantilly and surrounding towns.
