Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I build my own website?

Yes, you can! Many small business owners choose the DIY route, especially if they’re ready to put in the time to learn and maintain their site. We offer affordable à la carte features to support a more hands-on approach. The good news is, if you ever get stuck or want to take things further, you can add professional services at any time. 

Can I make edits to the website myself? Do edits cost extra?

Yes, depending on the service package you choose. With certain à la carte options, you can make your own updates without additional cost. Keep in mind, DIY edits can sometimes affect other parts of the site, which is why many clients prefer our “white glove” approach—we handle changes carefully to ensure everything stays consistent and professional. If you’d rather leave it to us, we recommend batching updates together to get the best value from our editing services.

Do you offer eCommerce hosting?

Yes, we provide secure eCommerce hosting and can integrate with your preferred payment processor.

Will I be responsible for maintaining the server or handling technical upkeep?
