FAQs

Questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? Send me a message.

Why do I need a website? I am happy with just social media.

Social media is great for visibility, but it’s not a replacement for a website. Think of social media as the marketing tool, and your website as the home base of your business. Social platforms change constantly — algorithms, rules and even your reach can disappear overnight. A website is 100% yours.

In short, social media attracts attention, but a website helps turn that attention into action.

What are the advantages of having a modern website?

  • Attracts new customers: it makes your business easy to find online, as Google is the first place people search for services or products.
  • Builds credibility: most customers expect businesses to have a professional website.
  • Showcases your products or services: clearly and attractively, even outside business hours.
  • Enhances customer experience: a website neatly brings together your products, prices, services, contact info and FAQs, making it easier for customers to engage with your business.
  • Saves you time: customers can check your services and pricing without calling.

How long does it take to build a website?

The building process takes about 2–3 weeks, but timelines vary depending on the complexity of the website and what features or integrations are required. Domain registration takes 2–3 days to process, and SEO updates are a continuous process.

Will my website work on my phone?

Yes. The websites are crafted to be responsive, with both desktop and mobile views.

Is my website visible on Google immediately?

When your website is newly launched, search engines like Google need time to crawl and index it. This can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. To speed things up, I make sure your site is SEO-ready, submitted to Google, and optimised with the right keywords and metadata. Once indexed, your website will start appearing in search results, and its visibility will improve over time as your online presence grows.

Can I update my website myself?

Yes. With a content managed website you get your own editing studio, so you can change text, swap images and add posts whenever you like. No technical knowledge needed — and no risk of breaking anything.
