Question 1

How much does a site cost?

Accepted Answer

Every quote is custom and line-itemized — no flat fee. Most small-business sites land between roughly four and twelve thousand dollars depending on page count, copy work, and any custom features. You'll see the line items before you commit, and the split is 50/50: half on signing, half on launch.

Question 2

How long does it really take?

Accepted Answer

Two weeks from kickoff to live, working day one through day fourteen. The only thing that slows it down is waiting on copy or feedback from your end — if you stay responsive, we ship on time, every time.

Question 3

Who actually builds the site?

Accepted Answer

I do — Julien, the same person you'll be talking to from the first email through launch. No design lead handing off to a junior dev, no offshore agency, no freelance ring. One brain, one keyboard, end to end.

Question 4

Will I be able to update it myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can either edit content directly through a lightweight admin I build into the site, or hand me a list and I'll knock the changes out for you. After launch I stick around for fourteen days of free tweaks, then it's yours — code, domain, accounts, everything.

Question 5

What if I already have a designer or copy?

Accepted Answer

Even better. Bring whatever you've got — a Figma, a brand guide, a half-written about page — and I'll work with it. The discount for partial assets shows up in the line-item quote.

Question 6

What's not included?

Accepted Answer

Ongoing marketing, paid ads, SEO retainers, and ecommerce platforms beyond Stripe Checkout. I'll tell you up front if your project needs something I don't do, and recommend someone who does.
