FAQ
How much does a custom website cost?
Pricing depends on scope (pages, design, content, integrations). The key is aligning investment with outcomes—leads, sales, SEO growth, and long-term maintainability.
Is a custom website better for SEO than a template?
Often yes. Custom builds give tighter control over structure, performance, schema, and Core Web Vitals. Templates can work initially but frequently limit deeper optimization and scalability.
How long does it take to build a custom website?
Timelines vary with complexity. A small brochure site can move quickly, while a site with integrations and content takes longer. A clear blueprint reduces iterations and speeds delivery.
Can I add features later (payments, CRM, advanced forms)?
Yes. A well-architected site can evolve with payments, automations, CRM, multilingual pages, and new landing pages—without rebuilding from scratch.
How do I measure results after launch?
Use Search Console for indexing/queries and GA4 for conversions (form submits, CTA clicks, calls). Compare performance before/after over 30–60 days and focus on your key landing pages.
