Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our website development services
What's included in the $50/month Basic Business package?
Your Basic Business package includes a 5-page professional website, mobile-friendly design, contact forms, Google Maps integration, basic SEO setup, hosting, and ongoing maintenance and security updates.
Do you serve businesses outside the Shenandoah Valley?
While we're based in Churchville, VA and specialize in serving Shenandoah Valley businesses (Staunton, Harrisonburg, Waynesboro, Lexington), we do work with clients throughout Virginia and beyond.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most Basic Business websites are completed within 2-3 weeks. Professional Plus sites take 3-4 weeks, and E-commerce sites typically require 4-6 weeks depending on complexity.
What happens if I want to cancel my monthly service?
After your 6-month minimum commitment, you can cancel anytime with 30-day notice. We believe in providing such great service that you'll want to stay!
What's wrong with WordPress?
WordPress powers 43% of the web, but it comes with serious drawbacks: constant plugin updates that break your site, frequent security vulnerabilities, slow loading speeds that hurt your Google rankings, and expensive maintenance costs. We build custom sites that avoid these issues entirely — fast, secure, and reliable from day one.
