Answers, up front
Frequently asked questions
Everything about pricing, timelines, Shopify, ownership and how AI-assisted web design actually works — answered plainly, the same way we publish our prices.
Pricing & what's included
How much does a website cost?
A five-page website is $450, a ten-page business website is $900, and a full Shopify online store is $1,350. These are fixed, one-time prices — published right here, with no quote call to find out.
What is included in the price?
Every build includes mobile-first responsive design, on-page SEO, validated schema markup, a spam-shielded contact form, answer-first structure so AI assistants can quote you, and the pages themselves written and finished by a human. You own the site outright.
Are there any hidden or ongoing fees to you?
No. The build is a one-time price. The only recurring costs are paid directly to Shopify for their plan (from about $39/month) and to your domain registrar — we never mark either up, and you hold both accounts.
Do you offer monthly plans?
Yes — optional local & AI search plans from $360/month keep you ranking in Google's map pack and getting quoted by AI assistants. They are month to month with no contract, and completely separate from the one-time build.
Process & timeline
How long does it take to build my site?
One to two weeks for a five-page site, two to three weeks for ten pages, and three to four weeks for a full store. The clock starts when your questionnaire comes back, not when you pay.
What do you need from me to start?
A short questionnaire about your business, your services and your service area, plus any logo, photos or existing copy you want used. If you do not have those, we can work from what is publicly available and refine together.
What does 'AI-assisted, finished by a human' mean?
AI does the heavy drafting — page copy, structure, schema and the answer-first formatting AI search rewards. A person then reviews, corrects and finishes every page before it goes live. That is how the price is a fraction of an agency's without cutting quality.
Can I make changes after it launches?
Yes. You own the Shopify account, so you can edit content yourself, or we can handle updates — either as part of a monthly plan or as a one-time service.
Shopify, ownership & hosting
Why is my site built on Shopify, even without a store?
Shopify is fast, secure and hosted for you, with no separate hosting to manage. Even a plain marketing site benefits, and you can add products, packages or gift cards later without a rebuild.
Do I own my website and domain?
Completely. The Shopify account and the domain are registered in your name and billed to you directly. If you ever stop working with us, everything stays yours.
What if I already have a domain?
We connect it to your new site. If you do not have one yet, we help you register the right one — you pay the registrar directly at cost.
Why Shopify — and selling on other channels
Why do you build everything on Shopify?
Shopify runs some of the biggest stores in the world, so it is fast, secure and never buckles when traffic spikes. Hosting, security certificates, backups and updates are all handled for you. It is built to sell — and even a plain marketing site inherits that speed and reliability, with room to grow into a full store whenever you want.
Can my site sell on other marketplaces and social channels?
Yes — this is one of Shopify's biggest strengths. From one dashboard your products can sync to Instagram & Facebook Shops, TikTok Shop, Google Shopping, Amazon, eBay, Etsy and more, so you manage inventory and orders in one place while selling everywhere your customers already are. Connecting and configuring those channels is available as an add-on — see the pricing note below.
What kinds of stores can you build and connect?
Anything Shopify supports: a simple marketing site, a full product store, a bookings or appointments site, digital downloads, gift cards, memberships and subscriptions, wholesale/B2B, and Shopify POS so the same catalog rings up in person at your counter or a pop-up.
Does the price include setting up all my products and the shopping cart?
No — that is additional. The $1,350 store build gives you a fully working store foundation with the cart and checkout enabled and a small set of example products. Completely loading your full catalog, configuring variants, collections, shipping and taxes, and connecting outside marketplaces is hands-on work priced by scope. Tell us your catalog size and where you want to sell and we will quote it as an add-on — no surprises, and the price is agreed before we start.
Can you connect email, reviews and other tools?
Yes. Shopify's app ecosystem plugs into email and SMS marketing (like Klaviyo), reviews, loyalty, live chat and accounting. Setup of these integrations is available as an add-on service.
What if I just want a simple website now and to sell later?
That is exactly why Shopify is the right foundation. Start with a marketing site today, and when you are ready, switch on products, a marketplace channel or in-person selling without rebuilding — you only pay for the extra setup when you actually add it.
SEO & AI search
What is 'AI search' and why does it matter?
More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI answer for a recommendation instead of scrolling links. Those tools quote clear, well-structured, trustworthy sites. If yours is not built for it, a competitor's is — so we build every page to be the extractable answer.
Will my site rank on Google?
A well-built site with correct on-page SEO, schema and a properly configured Google Business Profile is how you compete in local results and the map pack. Ranking also depends on ongoing work and competition, which is what the monthly plans handle — we do not promise a specific position.
What is the free AI Visibility Report?
A free check showing where your business stands today in Google, the map pack and AI answers — and what is holding you back — before you spend anything.
