FAQ

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions we actually get from prospects in Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Tarpon Springs, and the rest of Tampa Bay. If you have a question that is not on this list, send it through the contact form.

Pricing

What it costs, how the tiers work, what is included.

How much does a website cost in Tampa Bay?

Express is $750 for a one-page site (5 business days). Starter is $1,800 (up to 5 pages, 1 week). Standard is $3,200 (up to 10 pages, 2 weeks, booking). Premium is $6,500 (custom design, integrations, advanced SEO). Custom work (Shopify themes, backends, APIs, multi-location builds) is scoped per project, starting at $400 for small scopes. Flat fees, no surprise upcharges.

What is the Express tier?

Express is a fixed-scope one-pager: one page, contact form, two revision rounds, five business day delivery, $750 plus $30 per month hosting. It is for businesses that need a homepage fast. When you outgrow it, we upgrade you to Starter.

Are you a fit for a large Shopify catalog or corporate site?

Catalog management for hundreds of SKUs is not us; a Shopify expert is the right call. Shopify theme work is fair game and lives in our Custom tier, typically starting around $400. We also do not run monthly redesign retainers or 50-page corporate builds; our flat-fee tiers fit roughly 5 to 15 pages. Bigger scopes (backends, APIs, multi-location) get scoped individually as Custom.

Do you offer payment plans?

All tiers split 50% to start, 50% on launch. You do not pay the full amount upfront. We also accept Affirm and Klarna if you want to spread payments over time. Monthly hosting starts the day your site goes live, not before.

What does the monthly hosting include?

Hosting and SSL, security patches and uptime monitoring, real human support that replies within one business day, the self-serve content editor for text, photos, hours, and menus, and minor content updates as part of the plan. Quick fixes are included; full redesigns are quoted separately.

After launch, do I need an ongoing plan?

No. Every build ships done: the site, the technical SEO, and hosting from $30 to $149 a month. Growth is an optional $199 a month plan for new content and a monthly report, month to month, cancel anytime. It is new posts and pages, not a retainer for SEO you already paid for.

See the Growth plan.

Do you optimize sites for AI search?

Yes, as part of every build, not a separate retainer. We ship FAQPage schema, answer-style headings, public pricing, fast Core Web Vitals, and Google Business Profile alignment. AI Overviews and AI Mode cite a handful of domains per answer; a fast, structured site with real reviews beats an llms.txt file.

Do I need an llms.txt file for AI search?

No. Google Search Central says you do not need new machine-readable files or Markdown to appear in generative AI search. What works: a fast site, schema markup, consistent name and phone across the web, real reviews, and pages that answer customer questions in plain language.

Services

Shopify, branding, migrations, SEO, and what we do not do.

Do you build Shopify stores or handle e-commerce?

Small commerce, yes. For a handful of products through Stripe Checkout, we wire it up and keep it simple. For real catalogs of 100 plus products, inventory, and shipping, we will be honest and point you toward Shopify or a Shopify expert. Not in v1 for us.

Do you do logos and branding?

Yes. Before web, Jimmy spent years as a graphic designer (expert production artist at Custom Ink, graphic designer for Game One, and brand work at Boomer Tattoo in Las Vegas), so logo design and brand identity are part of what we offer. If you already have a logo, we work with it. If you do not, we can build one alongside the site.

See our recent brand work.

Can you migrate my existing site to a new platform?

Yes. We move sites off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, BentoBox, and similar platforms onto a lightweight stack we own. Menus, reservations, gift cards, and online ordering links keep working through the cutover. Most migrations take one to two weeks once we agree on scope.

Do you handle SEO too?

Yes. Every build ships with on-page SEO, schema markup, fast page loads, mobile-first layout, Google Business Profile alignment, and copy structured for AI Overviews and AI Mode. Standard and Premium tiers add full local SEO and structured data. Ongoing content marketing is our optional Growth plan, not a retainer.

See the Growth plan.

Process

Timeline, edits, and how a project actually runs.

How long does a build take?

One to three weeks, depending on tier. Starter is 1 week. Standard is 2 weeks. Premium is 3 weeks. We agree on the launch date in writing before we start, send progress along the way, and ship on the date we promised.

Can I edit the site myself?

Yes. Every site ships with a simple editor. Log in, update your hours, swap photos, change menu items, post news. No code, no calls. We hand you the login on launch day and there is no extra fee for using it. Bigger structural changes (new pages, new sections) we quote separately.

What if I need to leave or cancel?

Cancel hosting anytime. No contracts. We will hand you a full export of your site, the domain stays yours, and you can move it to whoever you want. We just ask for 30 days notice so the handoff is clean.

Service area

Where we work and what counts as local.

Where are you located, and do you serve my city?

Wesley Chapel, FL, north of Tampa, near Bruce B. Downs and SR 56. We are local to Tampa Bay (Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, Brandon, New Port Richey, Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Tarpon Springs) and work with businesses anywhere.

Do you work outside Tampa Bay?

Yes. Most of our clients are in Tampa Bay, but the work runs the same wherever you are: email, video calls, async reviews, written quotes. State and country do not change pricing or timeline.
